SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A restaurant in Carmichael, California, that serves a variety of Eastern European dishes recently made the decision to remove 'Russian' from its name, its owner told The Bee.
Firebird Restaurant, formerly Firebird Russian Restaurant, removed the country from its name earlier this month as Russian troops started escalating attacks in Ukraine.
"We don't want to support Russia and what they're doing because we don't think this is right," restaurant owner Alexandru Sirbu said about his decision. "We don't want to look like Russians."
