Former President Obama’s visiting Oakland for MBK Rising! — his foundation’s event devoted to helping young men of color achieve their dreams.
The My Brother’s Keeper conference also features appearances by NBA star Steph Curry and music celebrity John Legend, so it’s no surprise that the group decamped Monday night to dine at International Smoke. That’s the San Francisco hot spot that Steph’s celeb wife, Ayesha, owns with restaurateur Michael Mina.
“No greater privilege than to cook for this man on Presidents’ Day. Thank you for the highest honor @barackobama!” Mina wrote on his Instagram account.
Naturally, the group was joined by Legend’s wife, Chrissy Teigen, according to People magazine. A cookbook author, Teigen took a side trip to the restaurant’s kitchen and posted behind-the-scenes photos on her Instagram account.
She tweeted her thanks to chefs Curry and Mina for the “incredible meal” of Thai curry, baked oysters and cornbread. “Ahhhhh amazing job,” she said.
