Texas Breakfast Favorite Raising Prices On Eggs
The cost of eggs due to the bird flu has forced one Texas breakfast stop to add a surcharge. Waffle House, with around 121 restaurants in Texas, is adding 50 cents per egg during the crisis.
The family dining chain has opted for the extra charge, instead of changing the prices on their menus. This means that they believe current prices will eventually go down to previous levels.

According to NRN.com (Nation's Restaurant News), the company will continue to use grade A large eggs as long as they are available.
“While we hope these price fluctuations will be short-lived, we cannot predict how long this shortage will last,” Waffle House said in the statement. “We are continuously monitoring egg prices and will adjust or remove the surcharge as market conditions allow.”
