Specialties include four versions of eggs Benedict: southern, sunrise, traditional, and Cali, according to Julee O&#8217;Callaghan, who has owned the restaurant since buying it in January 2023 from founding owner Roseanne Hotaling. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>O&#8217;Callaghan has not changed much in her year as owner. She still offers oatmeal pancakes, prepared according to a recipe from the Hotaling family, and biscuits with sausage and gravy. A selection of homemade jams and jellies is rotated each week. For lunch, the Saratoga chopped salad, served with pita bread, is very popular, O&#8217;Callaghan said, as is the homemade tomato soup.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 23 employees, one has been there since Country Corner opened and, O&#8217;Callaghan said, \u201cthe majority of the team has been here a very long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><span class=\"\"><b><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>The cafe occupies two storefronts, two doors apart.
