A friend just sent me a link to this article in today's Clarin, one of our major daily newspapers - apparently Pepino got hit by a group of armed robbers. The gist of the story is that four men, not masked and just casual, wandered into the restaurant last evening, then suddenly announced a robbery, taking 10,000 pesos plus various cellphones, watches and jewelry from the cash register and 45 patrons. They exited, got into a car with a waiting driver, and were rounded up and arrested by police not far away, as someone had gotten a 911 call off to the local precinct. Glad I wasn't eating my burger then, though I'd have happily given them my cold fries!
