Houston Restaurants Are Hesitant to Increase Prices, But Rising Egg Costs Are Making It Hard | Eater Houston
"A drive-thru sandwich shop in Spring Branch run by MasterChef alumna Christine Ha removed its Humpty Dumpty Egg’wich (an egg salad sandwich) from the menu rather than raise its price because the cost of its main ingredient became too high. “We’re hoping it’s a temporary removal,” Ha says. “We just didn’t want to increase [the price of the sandwich] so significantly for our customers, so we decided we’ll just ‘kind of’ remove it from the menu for now. Hopefully, the Avian flu and egg situation gets under control.” Ha notes that the moratorium won’t extend to all egg-containing sandwiches — the Tuna Crunch will remain on the menu since egg plays a smaller role, she says." - Brittany Britto Garley
