Egg enthusiasts, meet EggSlut, a food truck dedicated to the humble huevo. The truck is the brainchild of chef Alvin Cailan, who gained his eggs-perience as entremetier at chef David LeFevre's M.B. Post. Unlike roaming food trucks that announce their changing locations on Twitter, EggSlut regularly stations itself in one of two spots--The Hart and the Hunter and Handsome Coffee Roasters-- for scheduled service. My friend Cathy of Gastronomy Blog and I are both suckers for a cheeky name and recently headed downtown with our dudes to have our way with EggSlut.

The menu at EggSlut is short and sweet, consisting mainly of breakfast sandwiches. Despite having only a handful of options, choosing my breakfast proved to be a formidable task. Did I want the Fairfax sandwich with scrambled eggs, chives, caramelized onions, Tillamook cheddar and sriracha mayo? Or the Avo Burger with caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, honey mustard aioli and an over medium egg? Everything just sounded so good. My boyfriend and I generally order different dishes to allow for sharing, but the call of the Bacon, Egg and Cheese ($6.00, or $7 with an organic egg) was too strong, and we both ordered EggSlut's take on the classic breakfast sandwich.

While we waited for our sandwiches, we sipped on lattes from Handsome Coffee Roasters.

Our sandwiches were neatly tucked into brown paper bag wrappers, but that's where the tidiness ended and messy goodness began.

Thick-cut hickory smoked bacon, Tillamook cheddar cheese and the star, an over medium egg, spilled out of a pillowy brioche bun slathered with chipotle ketchup. The sandwich was so hefty that I needed to give it a squeeze before taking a bite, which helped to coat everything with the bright, silky yolk. There's a reason that bacon, eggs and cheese are a timeless breakfast combo, and this well-executed version with top notch ingredients took things to the next level. Given the sandwich's yum factor and size, I wasn't bothered by the $7 price tag and, in fact, intend to work my way through the rest of the menu as soon as possible.
