The wait is almost over, San Francisco: Ayesha Curry’s International Smoke will officially open its doors on Nov. 13.

As we’ve previously reported, the blockbuster project is a partnership between Curry and celebrity chef Michael Mina, replacing his recently closed RN74 restaurant (301 Mission St.) in the base of Millennium Tower.

The news marks another chapter in Curry’s wildly successful 2017. Over the last 365 days, she’s been named the newest face of Cover Girl, launched a meal-kit company (Homemade), created an eponymous line of cookware and was named the new host of “The Great American Baking Show.”

Simply put: The Curry brand is an unstoppable force, thanks in part to Ayesha’s meteoric rise in the food world.

Inside Scoop has the newest details on her highly anticipated barbecue concept.

Early word is that the aesthetics of the 80-seat dining room are based around communal seating. A bar area in the center of the restaurant, flanked by copper-plated columns, is meant to “give the room additional warmth and evoke the look and feel of a fireplace and grill,” the team says.

As for the food, dishes will include duck wings with jerk spice and mango; char-grilled lemongrass, bone-in pork chops served with stir-fried clams, glass noodles, soy and lime; binchotan-grilled lobster with Japanese curry-spiced yakidon; Indian fried fish with spice-crusted snapper and turmeric pickles; and a dish called Three Little Pigs — St. Louis spare ribs, Cuban Mojo ribs and Japanese miso ribs in one order.

While it’s easy to think that Curry and Mina created all the recipes for the menu, it turns out International Smoke crowdsourced some of them. For example, the restaurant’s Indian fish-fry recipe came from Raj Dixit, the Michelin-starred chef at Michael Mina. Chef Ken Tominaga from Pabu taught the International Smoke crew about cooking over binchotan charcoal. Another cook provided the restaurant’s inspiration for the spice mix on the Cuban ribs, they said.

During its brief but spectacular run, RN74 cemented its legacy as a premiere destination in the city for Burgundy wine. As prices surged, it struggled. The place essentially became a wine bar bereft of time or place.

The beverage side of International Smoke is much more casual than RN74: seasonal cocktails and international beers, among other things. The center bar seats up to 20 people and is expected to have green leather bar stools, potted plants and an atmosphere akin to an enclosed patio.

So, on Nov. 13, Ayesha Curry will be in San Francisco, maybe even donning a chef’s jacket before diving into the kitchen at her first San Francisco restaurant. On that same day, her husband will lace up his Under Armour shoes against the Orlando Magic at Oracle Arena, a game that also falls on a Stephen Curry bobblehead promotion.

But in all likelihood, the only “Chef Curry” folks will be talking about by night’s end will the one who spent her evening near a grill.

The wait for International Smoke is almost over.

International Smoke: 310 Mission St., S.F., opens Nov. 13. Dinner: 5:30-10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, and until 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Lunch service and all-day menus are being planned
