Los Angeles Grand Central Market - or where we found our FAVORITE SLUT

When exploring Downtown LA you will most certainly find yourself within couple of hundred meters away from the Grand Central Market at one point. And when you do so, you'd be a fool not to pay it a visit! 
Within walking distance from Walt Disney Concert Hall and The Broad is this temple of food diversity and "bite and sip entertainment" that you want to check out.

The Grand Central Market was on our to-do list from the beginning, so after we explored the highlights on the South Grand Avenue we passed thought the California Plaza and ended up at the Angels Flight Railway. For us this was one of those accidental discoveries, and as real tourists we just had to take a ride! :-) 
For 1 USD this world's shortest railway will take you (in less than a minute) from the California Plaza (South Olive Street) right down to the entrance of the Grand Central Market (South Hill Street).   

We made it to the Market somehow just after lunch time (around 2 or 3 pm) and even-though the place was still very busy it was not that packed so that you couldn't get around and check out what all those vendors are offering. 

​There is no way how I could suggest what you should eat and/or drink here. I would need a whole week of my vacation dedicated just to this building to try it all out and than give my opinion on what is good and which of the tasty goodies are the best to try here. 
​Well, we didn't have a week. We've been here for about an hour and it was just enough to have a walk around and eat something.  

We basically knew where we wanted to go. On our internet research before visiting LA (in one of the many YouTube videos) we saw a short story about The Eggslut and wanted to give it a go.  I don't know it it was the best thing that we could have tried there, but it was a really good one!
The menu is EGG! There are three things on the menu (+ drinks) that do not include an egg (a buttermilk biscuit, side salad and a chocolate chip cookie. but when I think it trough - the cookie has most probably eggs in the dough...  The Eggslut serves a variety of tasty sandwiches and their special Slut. 

We didn't get to the sandwiches yet (it's only been a year since we were in LA) :-D 
but we did recreate the special at home.

The Slut does take some time to whip up, but it is occasionally on our weekend breakfast menu and it is a nice reminder of the 2019 LA vacation!
