Bad Idea is East Nashville's buzziest new restaurant from Sommelier Alex Burch and Executive Chef Colby Rasavong. It was honored as one of the 50 Best Restaurants in America in 2024 by the New York Times. New York Times food writer Brett Anderson remarks “Bad Idea may well be what many seasoned diners thought when they heard there was a wine bar specializing in envelope-pushing Lao food opening inside an East Nashville church. But given the level of cooking here, the name turned out to be a self-aware joke, rather than a
self-own…[Rasavong] invests the weight of his life experience in food that stretches the boundaries of
Southeast Asian cooking to the edge of Appalachia. And the wine list is wise beyond this restaurant’s
years, mixing tantalizing obscurities, affordable crowd pleasers and connoisseur selections you’ll rarely
find poured by the glass.” Bad Idea was also named a semifinalist for Best New Restaurant in the 2025 James
Beard Awards.

Waarom dit pareltjes zijn

Van de OpenTable-redactie: Chef Colby Rasavong leans on his Lao heritage at this one-of-a-kind East Nashville wine bar that Bon Appétit dubbed one of its most eagerly anticipated openings in 2023. Sommelier Alex Burch's exciting, global wine list, which includes selections from South Africa, Hungary, and Portugal, sets the stage for Rasavong's ever-changing menu. Expect inventive dishes like a sausage roll with Calabrian chiles and lemongrass, mushroom tartare, and pot pie and noodle soup all served in a spacious bi-level former church with arched windows overlooking the street. The New York Times named Bad Idea one of its 50 favorites around the country in 2024.

I can see why this place has all the hype. I just wish I had room for the lamb, but guess I need to come back! Everything I tried was excellent and I usually don't care for mushrooms, but the mushroom tartare was amazing!!

The food was excellent and there were a lot of interesting flavors. We ordered three small plates and a shareable main. We probably could have been fine with just the small plates.

Nicely curated menu with plenty of unique takes. A miscommunication to the kitchen meant we didn't get to try the barbecued quail, but otherwise the service was truly excellent, the space is beautiful, and it was far from the same old dinner that every nice restaurant is serving.

If you enjoy adventures in dining this is the place for you. Go with friends so you can justify trying all the small plates, especially "Khao Piak Khao" Cocktails and wine list are great. Save room for dessert - we enjoyed the Pavlova and Velveeta ice cream
