American gourmet sandwich chain Eggslut recently announced on Instagram that it would close its Hong Kong location on February 23. The brand thanked its customers for their support since opening its doors in 2023, stating “the long queues, the joy on our customers’ faces, and every like and share online – these moments will forever be in our hearts”.
Founded by chef Alvin Cailan in 2011, the sandwich chain initially started as a Los Angeles-based food truck, and has since expanded to brick-and-mortar stores around the globe, including London, Singapore, Tokyo, and South Korea. The brand is best known for its mega-indulgent egg sandwiches, which features ingredients such as applewood smoked bacon, homemade chicken sausage, or seared USDA prime-grade tri-tip steak, all paired with eggs done the way you like – scrambled, over-medium, or hard-cooked.
Eggslut didn’t explicitly mention if they had plans to reopen in Hong Kong in the future. Nonetheless, the restaurant wrapped up its announcement on a hopeful note by stating “when the right moment comes, we will regroup and return, and we hope to see all of your smiling faces once again”.
