42 Grams

Help us wrap up the 5th annual DCFF with the screening of this highly-acclaimed documentary! Awards will be presented in a variety of categories prior to the screening.

After working at some of the worlds best restaurants, Jakes aggressive personality kept him from finding a kitchen to call home. A chef without a restaurant, Jake began cooking fifteen-course menus out of his apartment. Alongside his dedicated wife Alexa, their underground restaurant becomes a foodie hot spot. The experience is unique: they present refined flavors while dirty dishes soak in their bedroom. A year later, they take out a lease on an abandoned chicken joint to open a real restaurant, 42 Grams. The film follows them developing menus, hiring and firing staff, shows Jakes temper, the strains on their marriage, and, extraordinarily, the awarding of two Michelin stars.
