Cafe Bernardo.
from Sacramento Lifestyle

KCRA brings us the news of a Federal harassment/discrimination suit against the Paragary’s restaurant group, which serves up the hippest chow in town at such joints as Spataro, KBar, Cafe Bernardo (where the lawsuit originated), and of course Paragary’s.

In a court document, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission charges the Paragary Management Group with sexual harassment, saying Leticia Fernandez complained to supervisors but was ignored.

… three other Mexican women who worked at Paragary restaurants are also involved in the legal battle. The women claim that because of their race, they were not given the breaks that whites or Asians were given while at work.

Maybe Heckasac’s spaghettini was tainted with the disgusting spice of bigotry?

No word on allegations that Paragary management staff engaged in other bigoted activities, such as

• patting a “small person” on the head

• acting rough with a baby cow
• refusing to seat space aliens
• judging a book by its cover
• making a joke about lungers
