question: why hasn't this had a side effect of raising food prices in general? a significant percentage of foodstuffs involve eggs.

It certainly has. Raw chicken has noticeably gone up in price as well, and poultry is completely unavailable at some retailers.

But a lot of restaurants in my area have been price gouging under the guise of “inflation, it’s out of our control” and have much more room to absorb price increases, to a point.
