WASHINGTON - Their eyes are vacant, their smiles uncanny - but they're dressed to the nines and they don't need a reservation for some of America's finest dining.
"When we needed to solve the problem of social distancing and reducing our restaurant's occupancy by half, the solution seemed obvious - fill it with interestingly dressed dummies," says chef Patrick O'Connell, owner of The Inn at Little Washington, in an e-mail to AFP. The Inn, which says it is"known for being reverently irreverent" and which also happens to be the only restaurant with three Michelin stars in the Washington, DC area, is scheduled to reopen on May 29.
The glamour needs to suit the rest of the Inn, whose sprawling grounds are distinguished by features such as a chicken coop complete with crystal chandelier, and where a tasting menu can cost each guest US$248 before wine.
