2020 left a lot of people feeling anxious about the future. Seeking comfort in food has been the norm lately, as many food-related trends have taken the social media world by storm.

TimeOut recently released a study that determined what each state's most favorite comfort food is.

To determine the list, the site selected 100 foods that people usually classify as "comfort food" and then used Google Trends to figure out which selections were the most popular in each state last year.

So what was Arizona's favorite comfort food?

Chicken and Waffles provided the most comfort to Arizona residents in 2020. Arizona wasn't the only one, however, Nevada and North Carolina also took comfort in the delicious duo.

Chicken and waffles, pot roast, mashed potatoes, grilled cheese, and chili were the favorites of Arizona's neighbor states.

According to the list, grilled cheese took the trophy as the favorite comfort food of six states, including California, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia.

The second-most loved comfort food was fried chicken, being the favorite of Delaware, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas.
