In 1974, Patrick O'Connell and Reinhardt Lynch started a catering business in Rappahannock County, bringing 70's style French cooking to a remote region of Northern Virginia. Their lunches were particularly a big hit at the Warrenton Antique Show and sold for $3.75. Their last catering job was in 1977 for Elizabeth Taylor and John Warner. On January 28, 1978, The Inn at Little Washington opened its doors for the very first time. The setting was an old country garage, modestly transformed into a quaint restaurant with a staff of 3. Outside, the worst blizzard in a decade raged on, but inside, an entirely new storm was brewing. Within two weeks of opening, rave reviews started pouring in. Just a few months later, John Rosson of The Washington Star wrote a review that would serve as a turning point in the history of the soon to be culinary landmark. At the end of their first year, Patrick and Reinhardt closed the Inn for a month to embark on a gastronomic pilgrimage of the greatest restaurants in France. They returned full of inspiration and emboldened with fresh knowledge, passion, and dreams. Patrick O'Connell, a native of Washington, DC, is a self-taught chef who pioneered a refined, regional American cuisine in the Virginia countryside. In 1978, Patrick opened The Inn at Little Washington in a former garage in the tiny town of Washington, VA. Patrick and The Inn have gone on to enjoy worldwide recognition and regularly host celebrities, politicians, and culinary enthusiasts. He has been referred to as "the Pope of American Cuisine" and in 2019, won the Lifetime Achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. In November of the same year, he received the National Humanities Medal from the President of the United States. He holds honorary Doctorate degrees from both The College of William and Mary and Johnson and Wales University. O'Connell was asked to cook for Queen Elizabeth at the Governor's Mansion in Richmond on her visit to Virginia in 2007.
