Waffle House Drops Egg Surcharge as Bird Flu Crisis Subsides
In a welcome move for diners, Waffle House has eliminated its 50-cent egg surcharge. The surcharge, implemented in February due to soaring egg prices stemming from a bird flu outbreak, has been removed following a significant drop in egg costs. The USDA reported lower egg prices in April. Other chains, like Denny’s, also implemented surcharges during this period, and grocery stores, such as Costco and Trader Joe’s, even limited egg purchases due to supply constraints.
