With the national average wholesale price of eggs down 7% -- $2.54 per dozen last week -- per the latest United States Department of Agriculture Egg Markets report, the popular breakfast restaurant chain announced it will do away with the 50 cent per egg surcharge that Waffle House put into place in February amid the wave of bird flu that greatly impacted availability and prices.
