Nkahoot Egg prices jumped 40% year-over-year, per CNBC (https://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/01/us-inflation-food-prices.html). DMV brunch culture is in crisis. Bethesda diners offer “eggless Benedict.” Arlington farmers cash in like crypto millionaires.
**Why It Matters**
Food inflation strains DMV households and restaurants. BLS data shows food-at-home prices rose 6% nationally (https://www.bls.gov).
**Closing Punchline**
If prices keep climbing, expect black-market omelets in D.C. alleyways.
