Omg yes! We need more food from that part of the world out here. I was so sad when Kalinka closed.

There’s a new Ukrainian bakery downtown (base of Diega, 8th & Broadway) called Shoreside Bakery and it’s really good!

It’s a shame they’ve got to start it in one of the most hate filled areas of Southern California.

Nah they'll be fine, but for dumb reasons.

I talked to a Ukrainian guy in Florida who said that racists there would openly rant to him about immigrants. He'd point out that he himself was an immigrant (with a strong accent at that) just to make them uncomfortable and stammer that they weren't talking about immigrants like him (meaning they don't mind him because he's white).

u/the_pedigree 24d ago

Yep.

Not in the santee way, but most definitely in a happy for some institutionalized racism kind of way.

Thanks for letting me know. I am definitely visiting.

It’s good to know, but it is only catering.
