Jacob Bickelhaupt hasn't been in town lately. That's because the chef who opened his second restaurant in Denver at the start of the year is now locked up in Palm Beach County jail, where he's being held on charges upgraded from domestic violence to attempted second-degree murder and false imprisonment.

Bicklehaupt's not only lost his freedom, at least temporarily — but Konro, the restaurant he opened almost two years ago in Palm Beach, has lost its Michelin star.

Bickelhaupt was arrested at his Florida home on June 2 after an alleged assault there; his reported victim, who's been identified as Nadia Bickelhaupt, a partner at the restaurant and its sommelier, had managed to escape but collapsed at Palm Beach International Airport, where she was trying to get a flight to Denver.
