The origin of the term ‘hard boiled’ is relatively recent and as many things go, it belongs to the New York school of slang. The term originated in Jack Doyle’s billiard academy in the heart of Broadway. The term was invented by Doyle, who described a certain class of pool and billiard players as hard boiled eggs, meaning tight in their play, close to finances, and in everything else. The expression captured the fancy of Damon Runyon, who used the term in his tales from time to time. Runyon’s short stories celebrated the world of Broadway in New York City during the Prohibition era. Tad Dorgan, an American cartoonist, picked up the term and used it in his comic strips.

There are several theories as to the proper technique of hard-​boiling an egg. One method is to bring water to a boil and cook for eight minutes. Another method is to bring the water to a boil, but then remove the pan from the heat and allow eggs to cook in the gradually cooling water. Others prescribe cooking in continually boiling water over heat for a shorter period of time.

Whatever the methods used, boiled egg connoisseurs agree. Gray’s Place has some serious hard boiled action going down.
