"The beloved West Seattle diner experienced a brazen break-in on February 5 amid the regional egg shortage, with two men making off with “breakfast items” including 540 eggs worth almost $390. Owner Heong Soon Park told USA Today: "When I was there, I noticed a white van with two guys stealing stuff, including eggs from my walk-in that’s located outside of my restaurant," and added, "When I was trying to stop them, they kind of scrambled into the car and they fled the scene." The incident is framed by the larger context of restaurants navigating an avian-flu-driven egg shortage and thieves targeting eggs as a valuable commodity." - Paolo Bicchieri
