I rarely order them at a restaurant because mine are the best I’ve ever had

Chris's Specialty Foods on Highland across from Ruffinos runs them every other week on Wednesday and they are very good. One of my favorites.

Restaurants tend to make it too dry

Seperate Question:
Does the forum consider chicken and dumplings southern? Got into an argument with someone about this onetime

Not really, more of a German/British dish. We ate them in PA.

A little tip on making the dumplings.

Boil the chicken the day before and save the stock from cooking it to use when making the cream gravy for the dish, but also skim off any chicken fat that collects on top of the stock as it cooled overnight and use that instead of another type oil when making the dumplings.

Game changer for the dumplings.
