Tier classification

Tier pending — Gerardo Castaneda origin. The restaurant’s name (Castaneda) and Mexican brunch concept suggest Latino heritage, but no press profile, interview, or biographical source exists that identifies his hometown or background. He could be KC-born/raised (Tier 1), a Mexican immigrant who built roots in Kansas City (Tier 2), or a transplant from elsewhere. No major KC media outlet (The Pitch, KC Magazine, Feast, Startland News, KC Star) has published a profile of the restaurant or owner as of June 2026. Tier ~ until Castaneda origin can be confirmed — call the restaurant or check Spanish-language KC press. If KC-born, Tier 1; if Mexico-born/raised with KC commitment, Tier 2.
