Chef of Sunnyvale Restaurant Burma Taste Accused of Sexual Harassment | Eater SF

"I read that a server filed a lawsuit in Santa Clara County Superior Court accusing chef Sai Sakham Chou of Burma Taste, a Burmese restaurant on Murphy Avenue, of “repeated verbal and physical sexual harassment.” The complaint, filed on February 17 by the former employee identified as Jane Doe after about a year on the job, also names owners Win Min Thant and Khin Sandi Thu and alleges the owners and chef created a hostile work environment, failed to prevent the harassment, retaliated when Doe complained, and threatened other employees with termination if they assisted her; Doe said she felt “embarrassed and degraded” and noted that, as an immigrant from Myanmar, it’s rare in her culture to speak up about such accusations." - Lauren Saria
