To O'Connell's surprise, the pan was able for boil, sauté, and deep fry for parties of up to 300 guests, which sharpened his awareness of how much could be done with very little. In 1978, his catering business evolved into a country restaurant and Inn, operating out of a defunct garage in a small Virginia town affectionately referred to as \"Little\" Washington. Now a multiple James Beard Award-winning and Michelin star restaurant, The Inn at Little Washington was America's first five-star Inn. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Little Inn at Washington Cookbook, \u003c\/i\u003eO'Connell assembles elegant, simple, and straightforward recipes that elevate everyday ingredients.
