Eggslut reveals opening date for second Toronto location
L.A.-based gourmet breakfast chain Eggslut has finally announced an opening date for its second Toronto location.
Not long ago, Toronto residents were both celebrating and criticizing the first Canadian outpost of Eggslut, and a second location will soon extend the debate to Yonge and Dundas.
On April 30th, Eggslut opened its first of two planned locations at 545 King St. W, giving the U.S. food truck-turned-international phenomenon a Canadian foothold.
The chain announced Thursday that it would open its second Toronto location smack dab in the center of all the buzz, at 10 Dundas St. E. on November 5. And initial thoughts from the public show excitement.
Known for its eccentric name, a "colloquial term for someone who likes adding eggs to every meal," and its egg-based menu to match, it drew attention quickly. Their arrival was exciting, but the high of the announcement gave way to mixed emotions among first-time patrons.
The public's main concern was the prices. Many believed the prices were steep for what was being offered, and the suggestion to keep supporting local breakfast spots around the city became a common theme.
Throughout it all, Eggslut told blogTO that their main goal was never to be the city's lowest-priced breakfast spot, but to bring high-quality ingredients to the table.
Eggslut will open at 10 Dundas St. E. on Nov. 10.
