Rockets fans try to sabotage Ayesha Curry's new Houston restaurant on Yelp before it even opens

Sorry, no sympathy. It's childish to go after her but what did she think would happen? Um, if there's one place your husband isn't universally loved....

 

You know the NBA's darling team or it's associates can't be touched.

 

No, we'll call you troll. Why on earth would you come to a Rockets board and defend a classless move by an entitled NBA wife? Remember when she was making **** up about being manhandled by a Rockets fan? "I'm pregnant and he touched me!"

 

Texas BBQ is fine as is, we don't need a rainbow rendention. I'm good luv, enjoy!

GW's team and fans probably didn't have nowhere to get comfortable while in the city. Why let them open their own little enclave here in our city?

 

My review.

 

It's not personal. It's business. The success of a restaurant is predicated on many factors. The quality of the food, the friendliness of the waitstaff, the amount of time it takes to be served, the cost of the menu items, and especially word of mouth. Ayesha's place could be A+ in every category except the last one and it still wouldn't matter. She's married to the star of the team most hated by Rockets fans. And we're not talking Dallas Mavericks kind of hate. Warriors hate is visceral.

I don't know what she was thinking opening this place given how despised Golden State is in this city. And Game 7 only made it exponentially worse. The moment the buzzer sounded that night, she should've scrapped this location, eaten the losses, and planned to open it elsewhere(preferably someplace without an NBA franchise).

 

There's now a mass amount of GSW fans getting on there with 5 Star Reviews.... you know what to do.

 

Ultimately the online reviews are meaningless. It's a matter of who actually eats there. If people wanna give the Currys their business, have at it. But no self-respecting Rockets fan should ever set foot in that restaurant. It's Texas for chrissakes. You can get quality BBQ anywhere.

 

All I hear is, blah blah blah I'm not doing my patriotic duty.

 

I don’t see personal attacks, I see some salty, humorous comments done in a quasi-playful (if sarcastic) spirit.

 

Solid post.

 

I bet some of the Rockets players will eat there.

 

Agreed. The things we're poking fun at are the things they parade all over ESPN on a daily basis. These aren't private, personal things. It's a joke. I've gone to a movie theater owned by Karl Malone..... which, now that I think about it....

 

Blame Yelp, don't blame our brothers and sisters. I only check Yelp for the menu and pictures of food, if you read reviews and other stuff. You are too influenced by others. Some are fiction, some are genuine, but experience yourself before judging. As someone who knows a little bit of the restaurant business, you rarely see celebrity owners own it for more than a few years. Most of them once hit gold, or hit roaches, they'll sell their share and move on to other ventures. Some of you may and some of you may not, Yao restaurant was not owned by Yao.

 

Again, you can hear it anyway you want. I personally loathe the Golden State Warriors and find the NBA's coddling of them to be offensive and borderline corrupt. I will not patronize any business owned by anyone associated with that organization.

 

I am so god damned proud of Houston right now. I love it. I might cry.

 

Buy one mouthpiece and get the other one thrown at you!

 

Ayesha might be an amazing cook. Based on what I've seen over the years, she's probably a really really good cook...
But the truth is there are thousands of those across the country. They're called great home cooks. Some people call them moms.

But, she might be a supremely amazing version of this.

Even with that, there is VERY LITTLE chance this restaurant exists, or her cooking/media/personality career exists without Steph.

That's not to be mean, just to note that it's supremely hard to be ultra successful in that way... or in any industry. Takes a unique combination of great great luck, skill, personality, timing, etc. In her case, whatever she had of those was enormously boosted by leveraging her husband's name.

This restaurant markets Ayesha ENORMOUSLY. That being the case, I think its "fair game" to comment on that fact.

However, I don't think folks should be leaving 1 star reviews as if they've already been and tried it out. That's blatant lying. Conversely, nor should Warriors fans leave 5 star reviews as if they've been and its great. The restaurant isn't open yet. But leave 1 star reviews just noting we don't want it in Houston... perfectly fine.

 

The folks I know that have eaten in the Bay Area location think its overpriced garbage too.

 

I heard she can’t even cook. Just uses other people’s fecipes
