There's A Beverly Center Surrounding This New Eggslut

The Beverly Center has been undergoing a $500-million-dollar facelift for over a year now, and the sprawling La Cienega mall's new-and-improved food hall is shaping up to be worth the wait.
Instead of hunching over a sad Starbucks panini, Beverly Center patrons will be brunching at a brand new Eggslut location slated to open on the mall's ground floor, close to Cedars-Sinai, reports Eater . Finally, you'll be able to dig into a greasy sausage, egg and cheese sandwich and then go straight to your physical; your doctor will be thrilled.
The Beverly Center's new ground-floor restaurants will all be up and running by the time the mall's renovation is completed in late 2018, a spokesperson for Taubman Centers Inc., the development company behind the center, told LAist.
The Beverly Center's culinary makeover will also feature Italian seafood from James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Mina when the renovation is complete next year, the L.A. Times reports. Mina's restaurant, Cal Mare, will occupy a 8,200-square-foot swath of the Beverly Center's ground floor, sharing space with an L.A. branch of John Kunkel's Miami and Vegas-based fried chicken joint Yardbird , and an as-yet-unnamed barbecue stall from NBA wife Ayesha Curry. (We can only hope that Riley Curry will bless us all with her presence at the opening.) Ramen from SF-based chef Ken Tominaga , and poke from Chopped winner Gerald Chin will be on offer too, of course; after all, what's an L.A. mall without Japanese food?
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
