Due to bird flu outbreaks in January and February, egg prices reached a record high with a dozen of Grade A eggs retailing for $6.23 in March, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said.

The restaurant chains hiked prices for menu items containing eggs earlier this year as shortages from to bird flu outbreaks pushed the cost of a dozen eggs to a record high in March.

That was when Waffle House placed a $0.50 surcharge on every egg ordered to tackle the wholesale prices. Five months later, egg prices have gone back to normal dropping from $8.17 per dozen in early March to $4.90 per dozen and Waffle House has officially put an end to the surcharge, taking it off the menu for good.
