Hello mi name is Paola

Welcome to The typical Ecuadorian meals show. 

Any time do you ask when I be in Ecuador, where can I get Ecuadorian food eaten?
Well the answer is I can get Ecuadorian food eaten in “Las Fritadas de Doña Doris”.
Today we will visit one of the most popular Ecuadorian typical restaurants of Quito, its
name is “Las Fritadas de Doña Doris”.
We met the owner Doña Doris, who will tell us about the history of her business.
DORIS:
Good morning Paola and viewers, I loved that you were able to visit us, it’s a pleasure to
assist you.
Well, the establishment was created in 1940 by my grandmother, from 1949 to 1998 my
grandmother with my mother and my uncles took care of everything in the business, can
you imagine? for 58 years my grandmother prepared the most delicious Ecuadorian meals,
it was because of her that this business is so well known, mainly by foreign tourist, after the
death of my grandmother, my mother Doris inherited the business in 1998, she learned all
the recipes of the grandma also inherited her taste to prepare them, finally I helped her
manage it.
PAOLA:
Doris, what about opening other branch for example in the historic center of Quito?
DORIS:
Of course, will be opening a new branch in the middle of the world, we will be receiving
more foreign tourist since many tourist choose to visit that place.
PAOLA:
If you had opened other branch 5 years ago, you would have obtained more prestige
nowadays.
DORIS:
I shouldn’t have opened 5 years ago, I would not have been able to do all the work at that
time, I believe that everything happens at the right time.

PAOLA:
Well please could you teach how to prepare the specialty of this business a delicious typical
