Rock 'N' Roll Underground Dining
Music. Art. Travel. Conversation. Cooking.
A Brooklyn chef travels the world, cooks one-on-one with extraordinary people
in their homes, and lets what happens next speak for itself.

Not a cooking show. Not a travel show. Not a talk show.
All three — shot in a celebrity's actual home, with vinyl on the turntable and no script in sight.
Cooking is the vehicle. Music is the spine. The homes, the locations, the people — that's the show.
"Episode 1: The End is the Beginning.
Guest: Xander Berkeley.
Location: Greenpoint, Brooklyn."
Shot in John Biz's Greenpoint apartment — his supper club, his wood-fired grill, his vinyl setup, his world. Actor Xander Berkeley came for dinner. The cameras rolled. Nobody performed.
The supper club was the proof of concept. The show takes this energy into celebrity homes around the world.

Born in Brooklyn, living in Greenpoint. He cooked one-on-one with Xander Berkeley in his Brooklyn apartment. Now imagine him stepping into a celebrity’s home in Sicily, cooking side by side in their kitchen, then throwing a dinner party with their friends — actors, musicians, artists — all around their own table.
John Bisignano — John Biz — is a Brooklyn original. A chef who came up through butchery and wood fire. A vinyl DJ who plays the best rooms in Greenpoint. A fine artist and recording musician making things since 1998 — a born creator since 1977.
He is not a TV host playing a character. He is exactly what you see: someone who cooks with the same obsessive attention he brings to a record collection, who talks about food the way musicians talk about influences, who makes guests feel at home in their own kitchen.
That is the show's entire secret. And it cannot be manufactured.
"He always knows exactly what record to put on. He knows how to break down a whole animal. He knows how to make a room come alive. That’s not a skillset. That’s an artist."

"The logo nods to Beggars Banquet. The lightning bolts and crossed cleavers say something else entirely. Both are exactly right."
Bad Mother Supper is about music, art, travel, conversation, and the people who are living fully. Cooking is what makes the intimacy possible — the reason to be in someone's home, learning who they are from the inside out. A modern‑day “No Reservations” with a DIY rock ’n’ roll edge — but John is already at the table when you arrive.
Each episode: John travels to a celebrity's home. He cooks one-on-one with his host. Vinyl plays throughout. As the meal comes together, the world opens up — the inner circle arrives, the table fills, the conversation gets real. The cameras capture all of it.
"The sizzle reel was shot in John's apartment in Brooklyn. Imagine what it looks like in a villa in Sicily."
The creative is proven. The format works. Episode 1 exists. To take it global requires production infrastructure: travel, talent, crew, ingredients, post. That is what this pitch is about.
The next step is finding the right partners to scale it.
Every episode is a destination. The location shapes the menu, the mood, the story.
Every dinner has a limited number of seats open to outsiders — people who want to be part of the experience, on camera, at a table in a celebrity’s home in one of the most beautiful locations in the world.
This is not a branded event. It’s a real dinner, in a real home — that also happens to be a television production. You eat the food. You’re in the conversation. You’re in the episode.
Paired with VRBO and Airbnb Luxe, each episode location becomes a full destination package. The show and the experience are the same product.
Bad Mother Supper is not just a show pitch — it's an integrated content and experience platform designed from the ground up for strategic partnership. Each episode creates premium moments in destination locations that cannot be manufactured in a studio.
Integration feels native because it lives inside the experience. There is no sponsored segment — there is only the dinner, the home, the location, and what happens there.
The concept is proven. The format works. Episode 1 exists. Now it needs production infrastructure, the right partners, and the right homes to cook in. That's where you come in.
