Patrick O’Connell is the most famous and powerful man in Washington – Little Washington, that is. In the tiny Virginia hamlet, O’Connell’s restaurant is a global culinary destination. From his perch about an hour west of D.C., O’Connell has achieved a gravitational influence over the District’s culinary scene.Today he’s out with a sometimes searing memoir, “Main, Middle and Gay: A Chef Finds His Place in the World Against All Odds.” In it, O’Connell charts his course from a tough Prince George’s County childhood, through the counterculture, and into fame and fortune. Chef O’Connell is here to tell us about it. Want some more DC news? Then make sure to sign up for our morning newsletter City Cast DC. You can text us or leave a voicemail at: (202) 642-2654.
