The Anxious Clown is a fast food restaurant that is filled with neon lights. In The Wide Window, the Baudelaires, Mr. Poe, and Count Olaf (disguised as Captain Sham) eat there. Their waiter, Larry, says, "I didn't realize this was a sad occasion", a V.F.D. coded phrase. Known customers include Mr. Poe, his sister, Eleanora, the Baudelaire children, Count Olaf, and Jacques Snicket. The menu includes the Extra Fun Family Appetizer (a bunch of things fried together and served with a sauce), Surprising Chicken Salad (which you should, on no occasion, ever order) , and Cheer-up Cheeseburgers
