Ayesha Curry is on the fast-track to food empress.
On November 13, Curry, who's married to the Golden State Warrior's Steph Curry, opened a barbecue joint called International Smoke in San Francisco. Launched in partnership with Chef Michael Mina, the restaurant is the crown jewel of Curry's brand, which includes a cookbook, a meal-kit delivery service, and a cooking show on the Food Network.
Reservations are booked through February, though the restaurant will stay open late for Warriors players. (Steph and the team came by for a bite after a game on opening night.)
International Smoke, which calls itself a globally-inspired grill, made headlines ahead of the debut for its choice of location. The grill resides in the ground level of the Millennium Tower, a 58-story skyscraper that is sinking and leaning with no fix in sight. Fortunately for Curry, the building has been deemed safe to occupy and is not considered at risk of falling.
We had the chance to dine at International Smoke. Here's what it was like.
