You can’t miss it at the grocery store: egg prices are at a record high. The latest report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture found in the Midwest, wholesale prices for large white eggs is $8.42 per dozen. Many grocery stores are even putting limits on how many eggs you can buy.

Egg prices are hitting restaurants hard. Several Twin Cities restaurants have added temporary egg surcharges. Marty's Deli in northeast Minneapolis announced they are adding $1 to all sandwiches with eggs on Monday.

The owner of Marty’s Deli, Martha Polacek, joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about their decision to add a surcharge to egg items, why their business can’t absorb the cost of eggs and how they’re looking at the future of the food they serve.
