Crack'd Egg Owner Asks For Stay While Appealing Judge's Mask Mandate Order
By: KDKA-TV News Staff
BRENTWOOD (KDKA) -- The owner of the Crack'd Egg restaurant is making a new request to a judge, asking to allow the restaurant to reopen without mask mandates while its appeal goes through court.
In February, an Allegheny County judge ordered restaurant owner Kimberly Waigand to follow the state's mask mandate and other COVID-19 safety measures, or the judge said Waigand would have to close the restaurant -- which she did.
