It's a bitter taste for a Chicago business that makes sweet confections, after someone graffitied an unwelcome message on a new bakery in Pilsen. What makes it sting even more is that the owners are part of the Hispanic community."The number one thing I felt was disappointment. It was sadness," said Katsuji Tabares, a co-owner of the new Bittersweet Bakery in Pilsen. "I wasn't even upset. I wasn't angry. I was just more sad.
In fact, Bittersweet opened its second location in January after more than three decades serving sweet treats in the North Side Lakeview neighborhood."It's been doing great, by the way. The community has been extremely supportive," said Tabares.The irony of the attack is that the vast majority of people who work at the bakery, and even own the bakery, are of Mexican-American heritage."It's the ignorance of the people who do not know that we are immigrants.
