SapSap, the popular pop-up that s sold Lao barbecue, egg rolls and more in Racine, Milwaukee and beyond for several years, is about to open its brick-and-mortar home.
It’s due to open its doors to the public June 17 at 2343 Mead St. in Mount Pleasant. That had been the home of Totero’s Italian restaurant, which the family closed in June 2014 after 75 years.
SapSap owner Alex Hanesakda says the location is meaningful for him.
He felt the Totero family operated its restaurant “for the love of it,” he said. “I kind of felt that’s how we were as well. We thought it was perfect for us.”
When Alex Hanesakda saw the tragic news that eight people were shot and killed in Atlanta on March 16, and that six of them were Asian women, he knew it was time for him to speak out.
What he wrote in the post, he also submitted to the Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service (bit.ly/3dwZlBU). The editorial was titled: â âIâm done keeping my head down:â Why we must stop the hate against Asian Americans (and everyone else).â
âAt first, I was like, âDo I say something?â â Hanesakda said, recalling when he first started seeing more reports of the hate crimes. âBut then (the shooting) happened. That was the straw that broke the camelâs back for me.â
