At one time, people associated Miami with a high concentration of Cuban-American residents. Although it is true that a large percentage of them live in the city and surrounding areas, they are not the only demographic worth noting. Nicaraguans have also immigrated to the city in droves. So much so, that a recent Miami Herald article indicated that the region is home to the most population dense, Nicaraguan enclaves in America. And that fact has clearly not escaped restaurateurs. They tend to visit auctions in Miami in search of the used equipment needed to prepare and serve Nicaraguan cuisine.
There are understandably a lot of different pieces of used restaurant equipment and smallwares needed to prepare authentic, Nicaraguan cuisine. Among them are the following:
- Commercial Steamers and Rice Cookers
- Hand Operated Mortar and Pestles
- Large Frying Pans and Stock Pots
- Commercial Grinders and Juicers
- Rolling Pins and Dough Mixers
- Cake Pans and Baking Dishes
- Commercial Tortilla Presses
- Oversized Deep Fryers
- Blenders and Sieves
They are often found at our restaurant and nightclub auctions in Miami, Pompano Beach and Fort Lauderdale. We also have front of the house supplies that show up at our auctions too. Examples include tables, chairs, lighting, countertops, dinnerware and drink dispensers. So restaurateurs looking to tap into the Nicaraguan market by setting up brick-and-mortar venues should find what they need to get started.
Casual, roadside stands and food trucks are also a staple part of Nicaraguan’s food culture. So some restaurateurs may want to visit our auctions in Miami before purchasing trucks, outside seating, outdoor lighting and portable food service equipment. Oftentimes, our auctioneers put those items up for bidding too. To learn more about these and other items Nicaraguan restaurant owners are likely to find at our upcoming auctions in Miami, please contact us today.
