As egg prices soar due to supply issues, restaurants in the Bay Area are adapting their operations to mitigate costs. With prices jumping 150% for some establishments, like Camino Corner Restaurant, owners are implementing creative solutions. For instance, adding a surcharge to egg dishes, sourcing eggs from wholesale suppliers like Costco, and suggesting substitutes for customers to avoid passing on the extra cost. The average price of a dozen eggs in California has now exceeded $9, driving restaurants to rethink their menus and pricing strategies.
"As long as it stays under 60 or 70 bucks per case from Costco then we can hold off."
"We go to the wholesale Costco, and they limit it to five cases of five dozen per customer, so we go early in the morning and pick it up."
