I'm honestly not sure. There definitely was hot food served by vendors at the colosseum, and we have ample evidence of portable Roman grills/ovens/cooking racks, but I don't remember if the two are explicitly referenced in combination with each other in sources or archeological finds.
Huh, I always wondered why the higher up seats were called ‘the nosebleeds’. I assumed it was some sort of reference to being so high up in the sky your nose is bleeding.
