The Inn at Little Washington Is Getting its Own TV Show

TV tales

“The Big Bang Theory” star Jim Parsons is bringing (more) national attention to a D.C. fine dining stalwart, reports Washington Blade. Parsons will serve as executive producer for “The Inn Crowd,” which chronicles the inside story of Inn at Little Washington — run by gay couple Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch. While the show is based on a 1999 New Yorker article, this is a restaurant that certainly stays relevant — The Inn at Little Washington just jumped from two Michelin stars to three.
