From ‘The Office' to the Shaggs: Belleville's Ken Kwapis takes on a new story

A documentary about a sister group whose album has been called one of the worst of all time is an unusual starting point for a first film. But Belleville native Ken Kwapis has never shied away from a professional challenge. He helped bring “The Office” from British television to American audiences, directing 13 episodes, including the pilot, the 100th episode and the finale. Now, after more than 40 years in Hollywood , he’s returning home with his first documentary, “We Are the Shaggs.” Kwapis will present the film at the 35th annual Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival on Saturday, Nov. 7. “I’m excited to bring this to my home turf,” he said in a Zoom interview. The 98-minute music documentary is about sisters Dorothy, Betty and Helen Wiggin, who lived in a small New Hampshire town and were forced by their father, Austin, to become a rock band after he received a prophecy. He bought them two cheap guitars and a drum kit. In 1969, they recorded an album, “Philosophy of the World,” in a studio near Boston. Kwapis discovered the album in 1980 at a Los Angeles record store. “It was on the wall with new releases, the

Granite City Fresh Market Coming to Bellmore Village

The Granite City City Council meeting opened on November 4, at 7pm. The minutes from the previous meeting were passed unanimously. In presentation of communications, representatives from Bellmore Village gave a presentation on the planned renovations of the stores they purchased, one of which will be Granite City Fresh Market. The market will offer a deli counter and fresh high quality produce. In public correspondence Susie Rodgers spoke first, on the behalf of Heather Groetecke. She read a statement from Groetecke that revolved around the "No" result of the recent referendum asking whether residents were in favor of data centers. She praised the community for standing together, calling for transparency and resisting a data center. Jacob Sudabris spoke next echoing the same sentiment as Grotecke, that the residents resisting the data centers are valid in their criticisms of the board and their concerns are not unfounded. As proven by the recent ballot initiative, they are speaking for the majority. He hopes the board will hear that message and adapt. Leslie Budoris followed Jacob, also sharing the same message as the first two speakers. She does not want a data center at all, under any circumstance. James Bailey was the next

Chef behind Famous-Barr's French onion soup has died: His story and the recipe

Manfred Zettl, a master chef renowned for perfecting one of the St. Louis area’s most iconic culinary creations — Famous-Barr’s French onion soup — has died. Zettl, 85, died of natural causes Oct. 30 in St. Louis, but the culinary creations he crafted over a lifetime will live on in people’s memories. At Famous-Barr, he oversaw 32 restaurants and 500 employees as executive chef. He later founded one of the area’s first diet-food businesses. He began his career in Austria and aboard cruise ships, serving Hollywood celebrities and heads of state. Whether you enjoyed the signature soup at Famous-Barr’s Scandia Room at St. Clair Square or in the downtown St. Louis tearoom after viewing the Christmas window displays, chances are you recall its distinctive aroma throughout the dining areas. The rich, velvety beef broth, loaded with sliced onions, was served in an ovenproof brown McCoy Pottery bowl, topped with baguette slices and a thick layer of bubbling Swiss cheese. Zettl didn’t invent the soup, but he was responsible for what he described as “perfecting” it. He told me its backstory when I was food editor at the now-defunct St. Louis Globe-Democrat, which closed in 1986. He was warm, friendly and
