	Chicken and dumplings is the every-Monday special at One Stop. There is no describing the tenderness of the dumplings in this dish. If ever one meal defined southern comfort, this is it.

	Service is cafeteria style. Carry your own tray to one of these tables and draw your own drink from dispensers at the side of the room. Note the bandstand in the background.

	We've yet to try the ribs advertised on this One Stop sign; but we do appreciate the well-dressed pig and his reading material.
