Ayesha Curry and Michael Mina Launch Mac 'n Cue
BY TAMARA PALMER
Mac ‘n Cue is the new takeout and delivery arm of the San Francisco location of International Smoke, a restaurant partnership between Ayesha Curry and Michael Mina. The Mina Group always kindly invites me to have a first taste of their new concepts so that I can give you an idea of what they have cooking.
The Mac ‘n Cue menu offers family sized dinner sets as well as an à la carte menu. I ordered from the latter and honestly enjoyed everything even more than I did on my two visits to the restaurant over the past few years. The last in-person visit had the unexpected delight of a Steph Curry sighting as we caught him watching through the outside window and shaking his head at the large table of Instagrammers and bloggers shooting and snapping each course en masse.
