The new fifty-cent surcharge on eggs at Waffle House is part of a larger trend across America. A unique combination of inflation and bird flu has sent egg prices soaring to record highs, disrupting the supply chain.
Since 2022, more than 145 million birds have been slaughtered in an effort to stop the spread of bird flu. Wholesale egg prices have soared to record highs, averaging around $8.00 a dozen, or four times their 2019 cost, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
These high egg prices show no signs of dropping in the near future. The AJC’s Fraser Jones forecasts what's to come with egg prices and why industry producers may be partly to blame for your Waffle House surcharge.

HillmanTok University might have started by accident, but its mission to preserve Black culture and history is entirely purposeful. Within the last few weeks, this unofficial online HBCU has drawn hundreds of thousands of followers, offering a unique twist on education.
Students can enroll in over 400 courses—ranging from gardening and personal style to economics and organic chemistry—taught by real professors and experts. The cost? Just likes, comments, and maybe a little homework.
Inspired by the fictional Hillman College from the series "A Different World"—which featured establishing shots from the real-life Atlanta-based HBCU Spelman College—HillmanTok isn't just a moment of nostalgia. It's harnessing the power of an online community to educate as corporations and public institutions roll back DEI programs.

It's a mystery that's been happening for decades: decapitated goats getting dumped into Atlanta's Chattahoochee River.
Since the 1990s, headless goat carcasses have been popping up in the Chattahoochee River, a major river that cuts through Georgia, Alabama and parts of Florida. Theories on what could be behind this odd occurrence range from ritual sacrifices to drug trafficking.
While a 1993 Supreme Court ruling protects animal sacrifice as a religious practice, Georgia law prohibits the disposal of dead animals "in wells, open pits, or surface waters of any kind either on private or public land."
AJC's Mariana Castro breaks down this trend and why the head-scratching case has been difficult to solve.

In his inaugural address, President Donald Trump suggested that the Gulf of Mexico should be renamed the “Gulf of America.”
The Gulf of Mexico spans the eastern coast of Mexico and borders five southeastern U.S. states. In order for President Trump to make this happen, Congress would have to pass a law.
Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-Rome) has announced plans to introduce legislation to change the name of the body of water. Although the U.S. could change the name of the gulf, other countries may or may not recognize the name change.
