    From Konro to Con-Row, we talk today about Jake 'Bloody Knuckles' Bickelhaupt's ongoing legal troubles (which he keeps making worse for himself - it's like he's never faced real consequences of his actions before). We also get into Starbuck's new AI assistant, produce suppliers get cyberattacked, and does anyone want to publish my books?Be part of the show!https://www.speakpipe.com/InTheWeedsWithBenRandallhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/774902433251568https://www.instagram.com/chefbenrandall/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-the-weeds-with-ben-randall/id869521547intheweedswbr.comhttps://www.redbubble.com/people/enzwell/shopintheweedswbr@gmail.com

    Oops, he did it again. To nobody's great surprise, Jake Bickelhaupt is back to punching ladies. In tonight's episode we talk about that series of crimes, and discuss how it's related to the (outdated, irrelevant) Michelin Guide star awards. Be warned, there are graphic descriptions of domestic violence in this episode.Want to be part of the show?
