lunch at the auction
One of my favorite things about the used car industry is auction food. Used Car auctions offer something for everyone to enjoy. Some people love the thrill of buying a car across the auction block. Some people love selling a car for more money than they expected. I love both of those things. But, sometimes things don’t work out too well at an auction. Sometimes, the market goes against you. Sometimes, you even lose money at an auction. But, there is one thing that is always consistent at car auctions. There is one thing that can always be counted on to be enjoyable, the Food . I love auction food. I love everything about it: the grease, the portions, the breakfasts, the lunches, everything.
I have always been a “cup of coffee for breakfast” kind of person, so it’s difficult for me to do a quality breakfast analysis. Nevertheless, if you are a lover of “country breakfasts,” the car auction breakfast is something you will truly enjoy. Auctions offer a wide selection of options for breakfast. These options include: biscuits and gravy, eggs, sausage, and bacon. Sometimes the eggs come out of a box and the food has been sitting under a heat lamp for too long. But most of the time, I find the breakfasts that are served at most auctions to be homemade and excellent.
Auction breakfasts are good, but lunch is where the real quality food is served. Some of my favorite dishes can be found at many car auctions. Auctions don’t serve fast food junk; they serve labor intensive, home-cooked meals like meatloaf or turkey and stuffing. Auctions also serve fantastic grill food, such as hamburgers, hot dogs, and french fries.
Out of all the auctions across the country, my favorite place to have lunch is the Manheim auction in Lancaster, PA. This auction is nestled in the heart of Amish country and offers some of the best “home-cooked” meals I have ever tasted.
