The County Seat, Prescott, AZ


In the high dessert of Arizona there’s a sleepy town named Prescott. Once the capital of Arizona, it’s now split between being a college town for Embry Riddle university and being a retirement community. The downtown is a classic small town square surrounded by all kinds of boutiques, shops, and bars. One of which is a surprisingly trendy spot called The Country Seat which is where I had my latest breakfast sandwich.

Overall: 8.7/10

The Good

This sandwich really surprised me. I convinced myself beforehand that this was going to be way too tomato heavy, which as someone still skeptical about tomatoes in anything but a sauce, was going to be an issue. But admittedly, the balance was perfect. White cheddar was the perfect cheese for this, the tomato added a nice refreshing touch, the bacon was well seasoned, English muffin perfectly toasted, and the tomato Mayo was just an absolute knockout. This was one of the best put together sandwiches I’ve had yet and ranks up there with the best.

The Bad

While I don’t have too much bad to say, there are of course some areas for improvement. While the bacon was good, it was over cooked. I want a nice crispy bite for my bacon, not beef jerky. Second, within a sandwich of quality ingredients there was one glaring misfit: the iceberg lettuce. It felt out of place and was easily the odd man out. I get they were going for a BLT vibe but in my opinion it didn’t quiet land the way they wanted. This may be my bias as I’m not a BLT fan to begin with but using the cheapest member of the lettuce family feels a bit like a cope out.
