The bird flu outbreak is doing a number on the nation’s egg supply–and it's showing up in the price of your omelet. U.S. egg prices have hit an all time high–with an average price of $4.95 per dozen. And when you're a greasy spoon diner, you need A LOT of eggs. We talked to Johanna McCoy, owner of the Bomber in Ypsilanti, about how her restaurant is coping and what it will mean for customers in the long-term.
