Suday EDITOR’S NOTE: I’d never met Jorge Suday before one of our advertising executives, Xochitl Arteaga, suggested him as the subject for this month’s Closet Confidential feature. Suday and his wife Ana and their three delightful children, Jorge, David and Arissa, welcomed us to the Sudays’ lovely north Del Rio home and did everything possible to make us feel comfortable. Suday has deep roots in the region and is one of the area’s most successful businessmen. For the past 22 years, he has owned El Chaparral, a popular night spot in Ciudad Acuña, Coah., Mexico, Del Rio’s sister city across the Rio Grande.

“This is how I dress when I go to my club: long-sleeved shirt with embroidered club logo, black Wrangler cowboy hat, jeans and boots.”

GRANDE / JUNE 2019
“I went to high school at Texas Military Institute in San Antonio. It was a very old school, built in 1894. Gen. Douglas McArthur was in its first graduating class. My time at the military school was unforgettable, I wore the military uniform with great pride and enjoyed marching in the mornings as well as using the M16s. I attended TMI beginning in 1984 and graduated in 1987. Afterward, I decided to go back to Mexico to college in Monterrey Tec. My dad owned ranches in Mexico which were my passion. That was the reason I decided to study agriculture.
