Zaid Renato Consuegra Sauza got into cooking because he had few options. Now, with his vegan restaurant Pirate’s Bone Burgers, he’s one of the city’s rising stars, and most outspoken advocates for justice for all.
Zaid Renato Consuegra Sauza never dreamed of becoming a chef. Under other circumstances, he might be living in Boston instead of Kansas City. He might have finished school. He might be making movies for a living, as he’d originally planned.With a tattoo wrapped around the back of his right hand and a colorful calavera and crossbones taking up most of the inside of his right forearm, Sauza certainly looks like a millennial chef.
In high school his family opened a movie rental shop, later expanding into a robust corner store with an array of products and its own kitchen. Working there consumed Sauza’s social life. “I remember birthdays and Christmas not being a thing,” he says. “It’s the same immigrant story you’ll hear from other people—always striving for more, but not necessarily being in the now.”
So instead, Sauza enrolled in a community college where the rules were more lax and graduated with an associate’s degree. But then his status intervened again. He’d gotten a driver’s license—his best form of legal ID—back in Kansas, but state law had changed, and it was set to expire. There was nothing to be done but move back, where he took a job as a server at a Mexican restaurant, one of the few places that would hire him as an undocumented person.
