3 Food Vendor Highlights at Root's Country Market & Auction [Summer 2022]
If you ever find yourself at Root's Country Market & Auction, know that you've got options when it comes to basically anything. There is a wide array of vendors covering everything from football cards to Amish furniture, gems, and homemade pies. I stopped by Root's last week for produce and decided to have lunch there as well. Three savory vendors caught my eye, all of them which are fairly busy.

A Treat-Worthy Bakery in Shirlington, VA with all the Goodies
Best Buns has two locations in Northern Virginia: Shirlington [Arlington] and Tyson's Corner. This bakery rings truth to the fact that it is okay to have an indulgent breakfast from time to time and have it worth it. They have many breakfast goodies to include cinnamon rolls, sticky buns, croissants, and muffins. But don't stop there; they also have savory meals to include cold sandwiches, hamburgers and fries, and pasta salads. If you are familiar with the Great American Restaurants such as Coastal Flats, Mikes American Grill, and Sweetwater Tavern, then you must know that this is also affiliated with that name. You will find some similar treats from the restaurants in this bakery as well as other freshly baked staples. Tip: Get there early because they sell out fast.
