Popular restaurant chain adds egg surcharge, breakfast fans aren't happy

The current bird flu outbreak has caused a huge decline in egg production over the last few months due to contamination risks. Inventory has fallen around 2% overall, making it harder for the industry to keep up with consumer demand as the days go by. 

This egg shortage has caused prices to skyrocket, with a 12-count carton of eggs costing approximately $8.50 in New York and up to over $10 in some states. This is a huge jump from the beginning of this year when eggs reached $5 per dozen, which now seems like a bargain in comparison.
