It may not be on the Kendrick Lamar and Drake level, but there is a stew of beef between a pair of restaurant chains. According to NBC News, Cracker Barrel is having issues with its competitor Waffle House after it was announced earlier this week that Waffle House is implementing a 50-cent extra charge for each customer order for meals.
“An extra egg charge? Well, there’s nothing kind of thing about that,” Cracker Barrell said in a statement. “In a cracker barrel, country hospitality is just as important as a heartfelt breakfast. That means you don’t have to charge the eggs extra.”
In addition to cracking the joke about competition, Cracker Barrel uses the situation to reward programme as all customers ordering eggs earn double reward points between February 6th and February 12th It promotes.

Waffle House cited the rising costs of eggs and the lack of ongoing eggs as reasons for adding additional charges when making the announcement.
“We hope these price fluctuations will be short-lived, but we can’t predict how long this shortage will last,” Wafflehouse said, adding that he will continue to monitor egg prices. .
The move should be temporary, but egg prices are not expected to fall anytime soon as the agriculture sector forecasts an additional 20% this year. In December, the average cost of a dozen US eggs was $4.15.
The shortage was caused by an ongoing outbreak of avian flu, which had to slaughter millions of chickens over the past few years.
