Munkey Munchies : The Egg Shop

High & welcome back Happy Munkey Fam! For this installment of Munkey Munchies we take our adventures on the road again to the Las Vegas Strip! While I was in Nevada I had plenty of insane meals at some of the world’s most renowned restaurants but there was one spot that caught my eye over all the others. The Egg Shop, just a minute from the famous Las Vegas sign on Las Vegas Boulevard, is a small breakfast spot serving hot delicious meals to Las Vegas locals into the early afternoon! The Munkey Crew and myself stumbled upon this spot as we tried to cure our AM munchies on our way to a cultivation facility tour. We pulled into the parking lot of a seedy looking motel, caddy corner to a painted bright yellow shack with a sun worn “The Egg Shop'' sign above it. We then parked our car and walked over to the large 3 panel menu on the left side of a plexiglass window with a handwritten note taped to it that read, “Order Here”.

The menu consisted of three different food groups, breakfast, sandwiches, and smoothies. I was immediately drawn to the breakfast menu, because why else stop at “The Egg Shop” and not get eggs? Torn between the Egg Griddle (a sausage egg and cheese sandwiched between two fluffy pancakes) and Shakshouka, I chose the savorier option of Shakshuka and a green smoothie appropriately named “The Hulk''! After I placed my order I waited as the cook cheffed up our eggs, and I could slowly start to smell the spices from the tomato sauce waft into my nose. Within minutes our orders came out the back piping hot and served in paper food boats. We sat down on the outdoor seating and the entire team grubbed, absolutely focused on how amazing the food was. We had spent the first few days of our trip in the desert hitting high end breakfast options like “EggSlut”, spending close to $20 a person for eggs! Not that I won’t be back to EggSlut but The Egg Shop definitely takes the W in my book.

To any and all my Las Vegas stoners in the mood for a quick, cost effective and tasty munchie option, look no further than The Egg Shop! Vegas has tons of thrills and it’s easy to lose sight of the small holes in the wall, but I promise you stopping by here is well worth it!
