This new Instagram pop-up makes konbini-style egg salad sandwiches
LA TimesMy apologies to anyone who subscribes to the doctrine that a fried egg makes everything better. Akuto and Montgomery created a version of the konbini egg salad sandwich that resembled and celebrated the ubiquitous pre-packaged snack that food obsessives all over the world know and love. The beauty of the konbini egg salad sandwich lies in its ability to be pure mush; a distinct mouthfeel with no disruption from the sensation of velvety pulverized egg and mayonnaise between two pieces of cloudlike milk bread. There are a handful of local places that make this style of egg salad sandwich, but my current favorite is from an Instagram-born pop-up appropriately named Egg Salad Sando. Started by Sydney Yorkshire, the restaurant consultant and publicist began selling egg salad sandwiches late last summer as a way to keep sane during quarantine.
