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.

Por qué son un Emblema

Del equipo editorial de OpenTable: 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.

Lovely spacious interior of a former church. We asked for a quiet table and were seated in an upstairs balcony overlooking the whole interior. Food was uniquely flavored and well presented. We ordered 2 small plates each that were filling, especially with the added gifted small plate (possibly for my birthday). An extensive wine and drink menu, though we didn’t drink. Appreciated the relaxed unhurried atmosphere and friendly efficient staff.

We were super excited to try this place! But while the vibes and service were amazing, the food was disappointing. We were expecting vibrant flavors and striking use of spice + acid but instead received dishes that were prominently too bitter. We weren’t sure if it was because of the wine pairing that the somm recommended or an execution mistake. The bitterness was so overwhelming that I asked for a slice of lemon to try to cleanse my palette. Also, would recommend an improvement in presentation: we got the lamb to share but the meat’s blood ran into the vermicelli noodles. The lamb was cooked well and it was delicious, but seeing the blood soaked noodles was off putting. For the pricepoint and fine dining ambience, this seemed like a lack of attention to detail.

It genuinely wasn’t a bad idea at all. 10 out of 10 would recommend trying at least once in your life time.
