Today, we bid farewell to Billie, our leader and friend. 

As Bad Idea’s first general manager, Billie built and developed a service team with heart. It’s no small feat building a restaurant from scratch and we’ll be forever grateful for the foundation she has laid for the future. A small restaurant necessitates wearing many hats and she’s worn them well. Whether coordinating a party for 150 people, running the pass in the kitchen on short notice, or offering a shoulder to cry on, she did so with grace. (Her playlists weren’t too shabby either.)

Tonight’s her last night running the floor, so please drop by and say goodbye! We wish her the absolute best in her next chapter. We will miss you, Billie Blue! 💛

All fingers. No toast. - Alex & Team
