Eggslut


Eggslut is a fast food restaurant with locations in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Tokyo, and Seoul, known for its signature dish "The Slut", a coddled egg on pureed potatoes. It was founded by Alvin Cailan.
The name refers to a chef who simply adds an egg to everything to make it better. The first public use of it was by chef Anthony Bourdain in, which aired on February 2, 2009.
The Grand Central Market in Los Angeles was named as one of the top 10 new U.S. restaurants by Bon Appétit for 2014, and Eggslut is mentioned.
The restaurant's name has been included in a list of risqué names by KCET and the New York Times, with Eli Altman stating that having a boring name may mean that an advertisement doesn't attract attention, and 65 percent of respondents of a KCET poll stating they would be more likely to visit a restaurant with a "gross name". Samuel Muston wrote that "Eggslut" falls into a category of "quirky" restaurant names, but that "the collision of the word 'egg' and 'slut' doesn't exactly encourage the appetite".
In March 2017, Eggslut temporarily opened a pop-up concept store at Chefs Club Counter restaurant in Nolita, New York. Eggslut opened its first international store in Tokyo, Japan in 2019, and opened its second international location in Seoul, South Korea. Both locations are franchise owned. SPC Group, a Korean franchisor of Paris Baguette, and master franchisee of Dunkin Donuts, Baskin Robbins, Jamba Juice, and Shake Shack in Korea, has the rights to Eggslut in several countries, and soon plans to open the first store in Singapore.
