Bitter Rockets Fans Attack Ayesha Curry’s Houston Restaurant Before It Even Opens

This week, Ayesha Curry and chef Michael Mina announced that their barbecue-focused restaurant International Smoke would finally open its doors in Houston next month. Diners may be excited about it, but fans of the Houston Rockets are anything but.

Over the past week, Rockets fans bitter about how this year’s Western Conference Finals shook out — for those who don’t pay attention to sports, Houston lost to the Golden State Warriors before the Warriors, including Curry’s point guard husband Steph, went on to win the NBA Championship — have taken to Yelp and Facebook to bombard the restaurant with negative reviews before it even opens.

“I will never step foot in this restaurant even if my only other option was a pet food store,” reads one review, while others make the salient point that nobody from California needs to be bringing a barbecue restaurant to Houston. Outside of that occasional logic, though, many of these “reviews” veer into both misogyny and racism, attacking Curry for just being married to her husband and making racist remarks about the owner and future staff.
I will say it's awfully brave of them to open an upscale bbq joint in Houston, of all places.

Houston reacts like that anytime a non chain restaurant tries to move in.

Yeh, Ayesha is about 3 years too late on this....

3 years ago she would have been fine, as Curry was somehow loved by the mouth-breathers

People have all seen the light now and joined team pride

yeah Mina is a super legit partner that lends credibility to this venture.

i'll prob try it out soon, but nothing beats a bone-in rib sandwich from Pappa's BBQ where you physically have to take out the bones before actually eating it like a sandwich.
