For Star subscribers: Breakfast hot spots have seen egg costs rise nearly 300% since the bird flu outbreak last spring. Some don't see it changing anytime soon.
Cathalena E. Burch The flagship Bisbee Breakfast Club paid just under $12 for a case of 15 dozen of eggs early last year.“It’s insane. It started gradually increasing; it went to $14 and then $21 and then it just skyrocketed," said Mitzi Satterfield, the longtime general manager of the restaurant in Bisbee's storied Lowell district, which also has locations in Tucson and Phoenix."I don't think we went to the $30s; it went straight to the $50s.
“Eggs are exactly the same price as one piece of shrimp," said Gerard Meurer, chef and kitchen manger of the Baja Cafe locations at 2970 N. Campbell Ave. and 7002 E. Broadway that are owned by his partner, Kim Scanlan."It’s really hard for me to wrap my head around going from $20 to $70 ; that’s a 300% increase."
By early December, 52.7 million birds in 46 states had been affected, according to the CDC, eclipsing the 2015 U.S. record of 50.5 million birds. When he can find eggs by the case, Cano said the price is between $70 to $100 depending on the size of the eggs.The $1 increase matched the price hikes of Baja Cafe and Prep & Pastry, but the restaurant owners say the jump doesn't begin to scratch the surface of their costs.
When Scanlan opened her first Baja Cafe on Broadway in March 2014, she offered a weekday breakfast special of two eggs, choice of sausage or bacon, hash browns and toast for $3.75. “Honestly, I don’t know how the little mom and pops do it," added Ares, who said the cost to produce Prep & Pastry's breakfast sweets has risen 10% with the increase in the price of eggs, butter, flour and sugar.
