Mestizo

Food Network star Aaron Sanchez is opening a new restaurant in Johnson County.

The restaurant, Mestizo, will be the first of its kind and is set to open at Park Place in Leawood during the first week of November. Sanchez’s website describes it as a Mexican restaurant that will use bold flavors and fresh, sustainable ingredients.

The two-story restaurant is 7,200 square feet and will open next to Barkley Square, where the ice rink is located in the winter.

Hiring starts on Wednesday, Oct. 5 and they are looking for employees for every section of the restaurant. The hiring site is at 11551 Ash Street, and there will be a "Now Hiring" sign to indicate which suite number to go to inside the building. Applicants can stop by between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Expect to fill out an application on site and bring a printed resume.

Sanchez co-stars on the popular Food Network show "Chopped" and the new series "Heat Seekers". Sanchez owns two restaurants in New York City, Centrico Restaurant and Tacombi.
