A film crew from Oprah Winfrey's OWN Network was spotted shooting footage for a television series at Medium Rare in downtown Bethesda last night. While the program was not identified, rumor is it may be for an upcoming season of Ready to Love. A D.C.-area casting call for that series was posted online in April.
The Woodmont Triangle neighborhood - and restaurateur Mark Bucher's establishments, in particular - have become increasingly popular spots for reality TV shows. Bucher's Community diner, which used to be next to Medium Rare, was used as a location by The Real Housewives of Potomac. That show has also filmed at Henry's Sweet Retreat, a candy and treats shop on St. Elmo Avenue.
I have it on good authority that the Housewives of Potomac (none actually live there) filmed at the Occidental Grill at the Willard in DC some time back. They demanded that the place be completely emptied just for them. When the hotel complied, filming began. When they finished, the waiter presented the bill and the women pitched such a fit and refused to pay. They are trash and think they're the new Beyonce. They aren't. They're nobodies.
