Jake Bickelhaupt is an American chef based in Chicago, Illinois. His two-Michelin-star[1] restaurant 42 Grams was the subject of a 2017 documentary of the same name.[2][3] The film focuses on Bickelhaupt and his then-wife, Alexandra Welsh, as they turned an illegal restaurant operating out of his home into the brick-and-mortar 42 Grams[4][5] in less than a year. In 2018, 42 Grams closed[1] after Bickelhaupt pleaded guilty following domestic abuse charges filed by Welsh.[6] As of 2018, Bickelhaupt runs the underground restaurant Konro.[7]
