About 5 years ago Bruce Springsteen played an acoustic set to kick off an annual Stand Up For Heroes event, then offered the instrument to the highest bidder. Bidding reached $60,000, he threw in a guitar lesson, and someone offered $250,000. At this point, he offered up a dinner at his house. What did they eat?
