Diners in Boston are struggling due to a sharp rise in egg prices, which have doubled over the past two months, affecting iconic breakfast locations. Mike's City Diner owner Jay Hajj reports his establishment cannot adjust the menu despite consuming 40 cases of eggs weekly. Recent data shows that prices for a dozen eggs have soared from $3.78 in September to $5.77, driven by bird flu and increased consumer buying. This challenge is being felt across many local restaurants, which rely heavily on eggs for their breakfast offerings.
"I looked at our paperwork around two months ago and saw that the price of eggs doubled."
"Restaurants typically use a food distributor like US Foods and may supplement their supply with Restaurant Depot runs that have limits per customer."
