Negroni Nights - Pilot - How Bada Bing Bayou Was Created

Two friends, one Negroni, and a wild idea. In our kickoff, we tell the real origin story of Bada Bing Bayou: the kitchen-table napkin sketch, borrowed mics, the first shoot in a too-hot garage, and the neighbor’s leaf blower cameo. Why the name, why South Louisiana, and why Italian-American stories that feel like Sunday dinner.

We share what bombed, what clicked, and the moment the format finally sang. You’ll hear our scrappy workflow (book it, shoot it, fix it in the edit), the gear glow-ups, favorite bloopers, and how the community jumped in to shape the show. It’s personal, messy, and fun—exactly how we like it.
