CRACK
The large brown egg shell breaks into two as its insides slowly drip down onto the sizzling skillet. I watch as the perfectly round shaped yolk quickly ooze out, as though pricked with an invisible needle. A second later and a metal spatula pushes the now scramble-esque egg from the tilted pan and down to the garbage bin.
"Did you just see that?" I turn to the right and ask my companion. "What a waste of a good organic egg," I said.
This is definitely not something new. For an eatery whose featured item on the menu is "eggs", the people behind the counter of Eggslut make it a point that each fried egg served is up to par to perfection.
Located within the hustle and bustle of Downtown Los Angeles in the historic Grand Central Market, front and center on the Broadway side, Eggslut has quickly become a foodie's destination choice ever since achieving brick-and-mortar status on the last quarter of 2013.
As it states on their website, "The menu is a balance of comfort and innovation, celebrating food that appeals to both novice and extreme foodie through classic comfort fare with a twist, all encompassing [their] key ingredient, eggs."
Though eggs are clearly the star of the show, their menu includes a variety of delicious meaty items that complement their staple which surely ignite a foodie's palate, such as braised pulled pork, seared wagyu trip-tip steak, ground American wagyu beef, and a special called the "Slut", a coddled egg on top of a smooth potato puree, poached in a glass jar and served on toasty crostini.
Since it's housed within the confines of the industrial and grimy (in all positive and cool sense of the word, if there is such a thing) interior of the marketplace, Eggslut, with its neon sign, white tiled wall, black marbled counter top and stainless steel bar stools, make for a great hip and casual grab-and-go spot for the hungry.
Whether you crave for a delectable breakfast sandwich or merely desire something delicious to satiate a starving appetite without damaging your wallet (all of their items cost under $15), Eggslut is certainly worth paying a visit.
