Ayesha Curry's restaurant is paying for Stephen Curry's championships. Ayesha Curry, the entrepreneurial wife of Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, is expanding her barbecue restaurant business to Houston, and let's just say Rockets fans aren't licking their chops. The Food Network star and cookbook author partnered with James Beard award-winning chef Michael Mina for a pop-up preview of International Smoke in Houston in late May, when the Warriors were in the midst of their seven-game Western Conference finals victory against the Rockets, and fans of both Texas basketball and BBQ have since inundated the restaurant's Yelp profile with one-star reviews.
