In Buenos Aires, the Perón-Perón bar-restaurant, located in the trendy Palermo neighborhood, is a tribute to the memory of General Juan Domingo Perón and his wife Evita. The establishment, opened by 42-year-old radio and television producer Daniel Nazero, is adorned with Peronist iconography and serves dishes with names that reference Argentine proletarian struggle. The restaurant also features a wine called El Justicialista, produced by Argentina's highly valued painter Helmut Ditsch. Nazero, a self-described classic Peronist, opened the restaurant to showcase the Peronist's appreciation for fine dining beyond political activism.
