Slut – Coddled Egg on Potato Puree with Seasoned Crostini
Elevated to foodporn status by bright yellows that contrast against nearly any backdrop, eggs are clearly having ‘a moment,’ the breakfast staple formerly relegated to later day salads and sandwiches now finding its way into appetizers, entrees, and even…well…eggslut, the Alvin Cailan concept that some may say started the trend. Originally a food truck, but truly finding its footing nearly one year ago with countertop service in Grand Central Market, a visit to eggslut is a relatively simple affair and with only six options available at breakfast I opted for two, a bottle of G&B coldbrew plus tip bringing my total to $22 as I sat down to wait with oppressively loud Katy Perry tunes playing approximately ten feet from my face. Impressed by g&b’s robust earthiness without a hint of acidity and amused each time a patron requested a “slut” it would not be long before I received a slut of my own and popping the yolk before giving it a quick stir the amalgam for instagram was first tasted from the spoon and then spread on bread, the results pretty much as expected from quality eggs and a buttery base. Moving on to the less-spendy sandwich that nearly soiled my shirt when the first bite ruptured soft yolk, it was finally here that eggslut really impressed and although surely the eponymous ingredient had something to do with it I’m also confident in saying the supple bacon, sharp cheddar, and smoky ketchup would have been pretty darn good on their own, as would be most things served on that sweet toasted bun.
RECOMMENDED: Bacon, Egg & Cheese
AVOID: …sorry kids, the slut isn’t worth $9.
TIP: Apparently working on new things for the menu in year two the oft-raved biscuits are only available “sometimes,” a term loosely defined by their social media streams from what I was told.
