| - My first encounter with Eggslut was in Grand Central Market in DTLA, and since then I've been waiting for a chance to try it again. Tip: If you don't want to wait long, just come early. Otherwise, since they cook pretty much everything to order, you'll have to wait upwards to 45 minutes. That's just a product of being popular and cooking things a la minute.
We got there an hour after opening, so it was about a 30 minute wait. The line goes all the way back into this back corridor next to the restaurant, and you have to be careful not to get in the way of the line cooks using that corridor for transporting ingredients back and forth from storage and the kitchen.
The two things we got:
- Fairfax with turkey sausage: The turkey sausage had a bit of spice that I really liked along with the sriracha mayo, and the eggs were just the right consistency and saltiness.
- Cheeseburger with over medium egg: This was my favorite of the two, since I really liked the fattiness and meatiness of the burger. The pickles really helped cut through that fattiness though, and the caramelized onions were great. As we were getting our stuff to go, I did appreciate that the egg was cooked over medium, so that the yolk wouldn't get too messy. That being said, I usually prefer the runny yolk with a burger.
In all, it's a very solid sandwich. I personally would have liked the brioche bun to have a little more density and chew to counteract the softness of the eggs/meat, or at least a bit more of a crunch texture. The service is very friendly, and they make sure to get your order right. Prices are easily expensive for a breakfast sandwich, but the quality of ingredients is good, and they are big enough to fill you up.
In all, I wouldn't wait 45 minutes for this. They're very good, but just come early and beat the rush if you really feel like you need to try it.
