WALLA WALLA — Three blocks or so away from the core of the city’s lunch spots Dobie Wilbur anticipates his noontime meal.

It’s a Wednesday and that means a generous helping of chicken dumpling soup steams in front of him, next to his large, leather-bound Bible and his own sandwich bag filled with quartered oranges.

“This is the best lunch in town,” Wilbur said, preparing for serious eating as soon as God’s grace is sought over the gathering.
