Juan José Cabezudo, also known as "El maricón" or "Comesuelas" (b. c. 1800, d. c. 1860) was a famous Afro-Peruvian cook with a food stall in Lima's Plaza Mayor, during the first half of the 19th century.

Travelers, such as Max Radiguet, writers, such as Ricardo Palma, costumbrista painters, such as Pancho Fierro and Francisco Javier Cortés, and the photographic studio of Eugenio Courret portrayed Juan José.

[3] Cabezudo was a chef, who had a street-food stall in the Escribanos portal, a place very close to the Plaza Mayor in Lima, where he served typical Peruvian dishes, including tamales.

According to historian Magally Alegre, Lima in the 19th century was a city where gay men could lead comparatively open lives.

[6] Cabezudo's life was first recorded by Peruvian historian Ricardo Palma, who wrote a short biography about his fame, his homosexuality and his transvestism.
