'Absolutely stunning': Sky-high egg prices put damper on some of Houston's restaurants, bakeries
, according to co-owner Janice Jucker. From 2021 to 2022, their food costs rose by about 50 percent, driven in large part by eggs, Jucker said., contributing to a 4 percent decline in egg production since 2021. Prices continue to remain elevated year over year as demand for eggs remains high among consumers and businesses, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Jucker says she's seen plenty of things get more expensive this year — plastic packaging, shipping, labor. While she’s happy to pay more to make sure her employees are being paid a good wage, paying so much more for a staple has been frustrating, Jucker said.It’s been especially dramatic because of how cheap eggs used to be, Tacos a Go Go founder Sharon Haynes says.
Now their breakfast tacos — which take three eggs each — are still a top-seller, but have become a “dog” for the business.
