Record-high egg prices hit US restaurants due to bird flu and rising brunch popularity.

The surge in popularity of breakfast and brunch at US restaurants, including chains like First Watch and Eggs Up Grill, is contributing to record-high egg prices. An ongoing bird flu outbreak, which has led to the culling of over 145 million chickens, has exacerbated the shortage, pushing prices to a record $4.95 per dozen. Some restaurants are considering adding surcharges or using egg substitutes to cope with rising costs.
