A meal so nice, this rock star had to get it twice.
Def Leppard’s Phil Collen grabbed a meal last week at The Country Corner Cafe in Saratoga Springs, New York two days after his band played a concert at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) on July 22.
“It’s a great day when you get the lead guitarist from Def Leppard comes in for the second time in a week,” the cafe wrote in a July 24 Facebook post. “Thank you Phil Collen for being such a gentleman and spending time with the team!”
The Country Corner Cafe has been feeding hungry customers in its cozy eatery since 1991. Its menu includes everything from potato pancakes and eggs Benedict to homemade applesauce and old-fashioned milkshakes.
This wasn’t the diner’s first time in the spotlight. The Country Corner Cafe was named one of the best mom-and-pop restaurants in America by the Food Network in 2016.
Collen, a London native and California resident, joined Def Leppard in 1982. The classic rock band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2019 and is best known for hits “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” “Love Bites” and “Photograph.”
The band has several more shows scheduled throughout the summer before their Las Vegas residency starts in February.
