It got me thinking, this might not be a bad deal after all. Egg prices have sky-rocketed over the last few months due to the bird flu so this might be a pathway forward for other restaurants to follow suit instead of raising overall prices.

So far no Washington State restaurant has implemented this change and right now, Waffle House seems to be the only restaurant chain that's being proactive on the high cost of eggs.

Could we see some Washington State restaurants raise prices? It wouldn't surprise me but why not take the Waffle House route so those who love their eggs, pay the extra cost?
