Intermezzo Pizzeria & Café: Black George was the military leader of the Serbian Revolutionary Army who successfully defeated the Ottoman Empire in 1813 and established the modern state of Serbia. You can have the Serbian dish named for him, Karadjordjeva, at Intermezzo, owned by brothers Djordje and Branko Avramovic, natives of Valjevo, Serbia. (1427 E. 10th St., 704-347-2626. www.intermezzopizzeria.com)
Zapata's Mexican Restaurant: Emiliano Zapata Salazar was a major player in the 1910 Mexican Revolution. He is known by one name only, Zapata — just like his trio of namesake restaurants in the Charlotte area. Zapata's features El General on the menu. It's a combo platter with a choice of enchilada, taco, burrito, tostada, tamal, chile relleno or chimichanga. (19905 Highway 73, Cornelius, 704-987-8890; 8927 J.M. Keynes Drive, 704-503-1979; 15105 John J. Delancey Drive, 704-752-6869. www.zapatasrestaurant.com)
Georges Brasserie: A list of revolutionary restaurants would be incomplete without mentioning the French, mais non? Georges Brasserie, although owned by a Greek-American, crafts classic French dishes: escargot, mussels, trout amadine, cassoulet, and steak frites. Did I mention the cake? It's a flourless chocolate cake, perfect for peasants and only $8. Vive la France! (4620 Piedmont Row Drive, 980-219-7409. www.georgesbrasserie.com)
