Breakfast joints like Waffle House are the latest victims of soaring egg prices, in effect since President Donald Trump entered the White House. Prices are expected to rise even further due to the imminent bird flu.

Waffle House is charging an additional 50 cents per egg to offset rising costs. The restaurant chain said it hopes the hike is temporary.

The Waffle House restaurant chain is putting a 50 cent per egg surcharge in place temporarily due to the biggest bird flu outbreak in a decade.

Bird flu has become an issue in Georgia as well as many other areas of the country. Now that is taking a toll on breakfast tables. In a letter from Waffle House's headquarters in Norcross on Monday, the diner chain has implemented a 50-cent surcharge per egg to all menus.

Waffle House cites the reason for its new egg surcharge to the ongoing shortage from the bird flu outbreak. The breakfast chain says the surcharge will be temporary, adding that it will continue to monitor prices and adjust depending on the market.
