It plans to develop more scripted projects with S\u00e1nchez as well.<\/p>\n<p>S\u00e1nchez&#8217;s memoir delves into his formative years and shares the story of how his mother, a culinary trailblazer herself, steered him to become who he is today. He is now the owner of Johnny S\u00e1nchez in New Orleans and a judge on both <em>MasterChef<\/em> and <em>MasterChef Junior<\/em>. He is also a partner and creative director of Cocino, an online content platform dedicated to celebrating Latin culinary culture.<\/p>\n<p>S\u00e1nchez has starred in other cable food shows such as <em>Chopped<\/em> and <em>Chopped Junior<\/em>, and he has hosted <em>Taco Trip<\/em>, <em>3 Minutos con Aar\u00f3n<\/em> and <em>Motochefs<\/em>. In addition to his memoir, he has published two cookbooks: <em>La Comida del Barrio<\/em> and <em>Simple Food, Big Flavor<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerica knows and loves Aar\u00f3n from <em>MasterChef<\/em> and his myriad culinary accomplishments, but most people don\u2019t know the amazing journey and the obstacles that he and his mother overcame to become pioneers of Mexican-American cuisine in this country,\u201d said Sharon Levy, chief content officer of Endemol Shine North America. \u201cHe has truly lived the American dream, and we are excited to now be developing his unique story into a dramatic TV series and exploring additional opportunities with Aar\u00f3n.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s more important than ever to tell genuine stories of what it\u2019s like growing up bicultural in America,\u201d added S\u00e1nchez. \u201cWe want to share the nuances that are unique to Mexican-American culture and honor those roots, while also hoping audiences from different backgrounds connect to the similarities we share\u2014the struggles, the celebrations, the food, the comedy, the survival instincts, the relentless pursuit of happiness. I came up at a time when food was making its way into pop culture and cooking in restaurants was our primary form of creative expression, so having this opportunity to develop in the scripted space is something I&#8217;m really looking forward to. And I couldn\u2019t be more excited to do it with my Endemol Shine family.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Endemol Shine North America has expanded its relationship with acclaimed chef, author and MasterChef judge Aar\u00f3n S\u00e1nchez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":15922,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[4757,260],"class_list":["post-15921","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-aaron-sanchez","tag-endemol-shine-north-america","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Endemol Shine NA Expands Deal with MasterChef Judge - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/endemol-shine-north-america-expands-deal-with-masterchef-judge\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Endemol Shine NA Expands Deal with MasterChef Judge - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Endemol Shine North America has expanded its relationship with acclaimed chef, author and MasterChef judge Aar\u00f3n S\u00e1nchez.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/endemol-shine-north-america-expands-deal-with-masterchef-judge\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-11-18T14:00:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-11-18T14:52:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/AaronSanchez-1121.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"319\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/endemol-shine-north-america-expands-deal-with-masterchef-judge\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/endemol-shine-north-america-expands-deal-with-masterchef-judge\/\",\"name\":\"Endemol Shine NA Expands Deal with MasterChef Judge - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-11-18T14:00:33+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-11-18T14:52:43+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/endemol-shine-north-america-expands-deal-with-masterchef-judge\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/endemol-shine-north-america-expands-deal-with-masterchef-judge\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/endemol-shine-north-america-expands-deal-with-masterchef-judge\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Endemol Shine NA Expands Deal with MasterChef Judge\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
