The Slut!

I feel so dirty!  I mean the place is called eggslut.....  I've finally had the chance to eat at this place after hearing about all the hype.  Without further a due here its the eggslut review!  And yes I ordered 2 items for myself and a burger after......


The Slut and Goucho Sandwich

Now by no means was this meal horrible but I will tend to sound a bit disappointed with the review. 

 In the front you have "the slut".  It is a beautifully soft sous vide egg,  the whites we perfectly cooked and the yolk runny the way I like it.  On the bottom there were hashbrowns but its really just mashed potatoes after being sous vide in the jar with the egg.  The grey salt was a nice touch and some chive gave it a good sweetness but this jar with an egg and potatoes and 3 crustinis is hardly worth 9 dollars.  The flavor was pretty good but now I will not crave "the slut" from here on out!

In the background is the Goucho sandwich.  Very good flavor and maybe a bit on the high side as far as price but I would possibly give this another shot.  First of all I am sucker for arugula and there was no shortage on this,  The wagyu tri tip was cut thinly enough so it wasnt tough at all but had a nice mouth feel and chew.  The chimichuri was legit one of my favorite sauces that give the sandwich a nice acidity and freshness from all that parsley.  I think the star on the sandwiches are the brioche buns,  Usually brioche can be super fatty from all that butter and tend to break apart when saturated with sauces but this one was firm enough to withstand the eating process but had a super soft interior.  Very well made sandwich and for 12 not so bad.  10 and I'd want to come here more often.

The Fairfax

Again great sandwich on some great brioche.  The eggs come perfectly soft scrambled and the carmelized onions give it a nice sweetness.  Mel got the sriracha mayo on the side and actually didn't even have regular mayo to substitute which is a bummer.  You have the product already you are telling me you mix everything and don't leave diners the option.  Anyway good but pricey breakfast sandwich.

I would say that at the end of the day I would only bring people here if it was their first time or wanted to show something different.  Grand Central Station as a whole was a great place to visit.  I really do hope more of these food districts pop up everyone and give smaller places a chance to showcase their food and diversify our choices.  Chains can get pretty boring sometimes.  Keep an eye out for URBN Market Food District coming 20??!
