Even though I had moved back to Peru, where I got pregnant then married and was starting my own family. There were a couple of men that just kept popping up! El Chino was beyond himself of course. On today’s episode I recall a wee bit about them.

My life partner, Fred Chandon, decided that he wanted to marry me, despite my being completely unaware of it. However, when he asked my father for my hand in marriage, my father decided that, because Fred admitted to having had a vasectomy, he was “certain Susy would like to have children.” It was a conversation I knew nothing about at the time. The only person who overheard it was my brother, who told me about it many years later.

Peculiar family ties developed while I was remodeling my former husband’s house, Oscar “El Chino” Malpartida, that later became our home for the children as well.

Decades ago, Susy along with her now deceased husband opened the Mediterráneo Chicken. A restaurant specialized in Peruvian style braised chicken, that also launched the first delivery service in the country which was an outrageous success.

In 2004 the dish was declared a National Heritage by the Ministry of Culture and in 2010 the day of “el pollo a la brasa” was declared every third Sunday of July.

Susy’s experience in Peruvian television wasn’t the best due to jealousy and envy. Emotions of the heart that still dictate the TV entertainment business. In 1982, when ATV was planning it's program schedule, she created a new concept of workout that amazed even Mario Vargas Llosa as it was never aired!
