It might not be to the level of Kendrick Lamar and Drake, but there’s a beef stewing between a pair of restaurant chains. According to NBC News, Cracker Barrel has taken issue with competitor Waffle House after it was announced earlier this week that Waffle House is implementing a 50-cent surcharge for each egg a customer orders in their meals.
“A surcharge on eggs? Well, there’s nothing hospitable about that,” Cracker Barrel said in a statement. “At Cracker Barrel, country hospitality is as important to us as a hearty breakfast — and that means not charging extra for eggs.”
Along with cracking jokes about the competition, Cracker Barrel is using the situation to promote its rewards program as all customers who order eggs between Feb. 6 and Feb. 12 will earn double rewards points.
In making its announcement, Waffle House cited the rising cost of eggs and the ongoing egg shortage as reason for adding the surcharge.
