Popeye's pork tenderloin draws diners to small town of St. Rose, Ill.

Q: Would you please ask Popeye's Chop House in St. Rose for the recipe for Marinated Pork Tenderloin?

— Clifton K. Dellamano, Collinsville

A: So did you hear about the bear who bellied up to the bar? If you did, chances are, the story took place 45 miles east of St. Louis in the small town of St. Rose, home of Popeye's Chop House.

"Everyone's comfortable here," says Nicholas Rutz, the restaurant's general manager and son of Dwight and Vicky Rutz, who bought the restaurant from Marcellius "Popeye" Korte when Nic was just 7 years old. "People come in out of the fields, off the lake, off the golf course." Rutz says the restaurant attracts diners from a wide area and during peak weekends can serve 400 to 425 patrons a night.

The original Popeye's building dates back to the early 1900s and now serves as the bar. Trophy animals line the walls — a bison, a moose, a velvet-antlered caribou, a 24-pound wild turkey and the photo-op bear that holds court in the first booth. Both dining rooms are new additions; wood-beamed ceilings and large stone fireplaces create the feeling of a roadside lodge.

Rutz worked for a national restaurant chain until returning to Illinois five years ago to run Popeye's, one of two family restaurants. His parents remain active. "My mom makes all the cakes," he says, "and my dad is here on weekends to meet and get to know the customers."

Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue | The Old Rock House, St. Louis

Since the release of their Grammy® – nominated 2010 debut album, Backatown, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue have grown creatively while winning hordes of new fans performing nonstop on five continents. Their new album, For True (Sept. 13, Verve Forecast), offers substantive proof of their explosive growth, further refining the signature sound Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews has dubbed Supafunkrock.

The band – Mike Ballard on bass, Pete Murano on guitar, Joey Peebles on drums, Dwayne Williams on percussion, Dan Oestreicher on baritone sax and Tim McFatter on tenor sax – stirs together old-school New Orleans jazz, funk and soul, laced with hard-rock power chords and hip-hop beats, and they’ve added some tangy new ingredients on For True as they keep pushing the envelope, exploring new musical territory.

Since Backatown’s release, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue have toured nonstop in North America, the U.K., Brazil, Japan, Europe and Australia. Last December, Andrews drew accolades as musical director of “Red Hot + New Orleans” at BAM. The sensational two-night run inspired New York Times senior music critic Jon Pareles to assert, “Trombone Shorty had clearly set out to present New Orleans as a city whose glory days aren’t over… it was a signal that the city’s music would push ahead.”

Yes, Andrews has made quite an impression on the critics. “Trombone Shorty is so ready for his close-up,” New York Times reviewer Nate Chinen wrote, describing the young virtuoso as “a native prodigy destined for breakout success.” The San Francisco Chronicle’s Joel Selvin hailed him as “New Orleans’ brightest new star in a generation.” Rolling Stone’s Will Hermes raved that “Backatown is both deeply rooted and culturally omnivorous.” And the Washington Post’s Mike Joyce described one live performance as “a near-deafening, funk-charged blast of percussion, brass, reeds and guitar distortion that might have knocked the crowd sideways had there been any room to move.”

TSOA’s performances at and during the New Orleans Jazz Fest are legendary. This year, in one day, Troy sat in for a set of free jazz honoring a recently passed mentor. From there he sat in with Kid Rock. Then to the Gospel Tent for a featured slot with cousin Glenn David Andrews before literally running back to the main stage to close the Festival as a special guest of the Neville Brothers.
