In a letter from Waffle House's headquarters in Norcross on Monday, the diner chain has implemented a 50-cent surcharge per egg to all menus. The company said, rather than increasing prices across the menu, this is a temporary targeted charge tied to the unprecedented rise in egg prices caused by bird flu.

ATLANTA - Egg prices are soaring, but Cracker Barrel is standing firm. As the bird flu outbreak causes costs to rise, the popular comfort-food chain says it will not be passing that expense onto customers. Instead, it’s keeping breakfast budgets intact and even offering an incentive for rewards members.

Between January 2022 and November 2024, 1,200 bird flu outbreaks were identified across 48 states, according to a Wildlife Management Institute report.

The buck has been passed to Waffle House customers as the company announced a 50-cent surcharge for all egg items. This comes, after a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics found a 50% increase in egg prices in the past year.

Local shoppers say egg prices are soaring no matter what grocery store you head to. Judge blocks Trump executive order to end birthright citizenship 21 Things Tourists Looove Doing When They Visit The States That Americans Are Begging Them To Skip Rahim Al-Hussaini is named the new Aga Khan,
