History

Eggslut's name refers to the popular phrase which developed among foodies in the mid-2000s that describes people who serve every dish topped by an egg.^[3]

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 the UK (7 August 2019),^[4] its second in Tokyo, Japan (13 September 2019),^[5] and its third international location in Seoul, South Korea (10 July 2020).^[6] Both locations are franchise owned.^{[clarification needed]} SPC Group, a South Korean franchisor of Paris Baguette, and master Korean franchisee of Dunkin Donuts, Baskin Robbins, Jamba Juice, and Shake Shack, has the rights to Eggslut in several countries.^[7] The brand also opened its first store in Singapore on 9 September 2021 at Scotts Square.^[8] In February 2025, the Eggslut store in Hong Kong announced its closure the same month; it had been operating there since 2022.^[9] This then followed by the sudden closure of Singapore branch on February 28, 2025.^[10][11]

Reception

The restaurant's name has been included in a list of risqué names by KCET^[12] and The New York Times, with Eli Altman stating that having a boring name may mean that an advertisement doesn't attract attention.^[13] 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".^[14]

The Grand Central Market in Los Angeles was named as one of the top ten new U.S. restaurants by Bon Appétit for 2014, and Eggslut is mentioned.^[15]
