Breakfast Chain Eggslut to Open in Toronto

- The chain was founded in 2011 by Filipino-American chef Alvin Cailan, initially as a food truck in Los Angeles. The first brick-and-mortar location opened in L.A.'s Grand Central Market in 2013. - The name "Eggslut" originated as a term used by chefs in the mid-2000s to describe other chefs who would add an egg to every dish. - Its signature dish is called "The Slut," which consists of a coddled egg on top of a smooth potato purée, served in a glass jar with a side of baguette. - Other popular menu items include the "Fairfax" sandwich, with soft scrambled eggs and sriracha mayo, and the "Gaucho" sandwich, which features wagyu tri-tip steak and a chimichurri sauce. - The Canadian expansion is being led by Westrich Hospitality Inc., which plans to open approximately 30 locations in prime urban areas across the country. Following the two Toronto openings, a Vancouver location is planned for summer 2026. - The brand has a significant international presence with locations in the United Kingdom, Japan, and Kuwait. - Price points for its sandwiches in the U.S. typically range from about $12 to $16. - The brand's popularity grew significantly through social media; MSNBC once declared it the most Instagrammed restaurant in the world.
