While you're thinking of the answers to these very controversial questions, we have some news to tell you. Lawn Love compiled a list of the best cities in the U.S. for breakfast lovers — and a few Arizona cities made the list. Here's how they did it:

We looked at cities with plenty of access to breakfast spots like diners, cafes, and doughnut shops. We also considered quality and popularity by measuring consumer ratings, Google search interest, and the number of breakfast clubs, among 16 total metrics.

With that being said, if you're a huge breakfast fan, the Grand Canyon State might not be the best place for you to live in as the majority of Arizona cities populated the back end of the list. Nonetheless, there's always a No. 1 — and for Arizona, that's Phoenix, which came in at No. 38 overall. In the country, the top dog for breakfast lovers is New York City.
