The restaurant's name has been included in a list of risqué names by KCET [9] and The New York Times , with Eli Altman stating that having a boring name may mean that an advertisement doesn't attract attention. [10] Samuel Muston wrote that "Eggslut" falls into a category of "quirky" restaurant names, but that "the collision of the word 'egg' and 'slut' doesn't exactly encourage the appetite". [11]
