Why Your Waffle House Breakfast Just Got More Expensive In Louisiana
Bad news, breakfast lovers—your Waffle House order just got more expensive. The beloved 24-hour diner has announced a 50-cent surcharge per egg, thanks to the ongoing bird flu outbreak, wild weather, and the general chaos of the supply chain.
Why Are Eggs Suddenly a Luxury Item?
Blame it on the birds. The latest outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) also known as Bird Flu has devastated poultry farms nationwide, sending egg prices into a full-fledged meltdown. According to the CDC, nearly 150 million birds have been affected—up from 128 million just last month. That means fewer eggs, higher prices, and yet another reason to question why we’re paying luxury-item prices for a basic breakfast staple.
Waffle House Feels the (Financial) Heat
Waffle House isn’t exactly rationing eggs, but when you serve 272 million eggs a year, even a slight price hike is enough to make accountants sweat. That’s why, starting February 3, customers will see an extra 50 cents per egg tacked onto their checks. The company insists this is temporary—but so was that one-week diet you tried.
Will Other Restaurants Follow Suit?
With egg prices soaring—a dozen large Grade A eggs hit $4.15 in December, up 37% from last year—Waffle House might not be the only restaurant passing the cost onto customers. While some places may absorb the increase, don’t be shocked if your favorite breakfast spot starts charging extra for every sunny-side-up dream.
