An inhuman dictator who cared nothing for the ideology on which the post-1949 state is supposed to be based. A revolution achieved by armed force, not popular support. A wartime leader who dealt with the enemy, and presided over a drug empire. A serial murderer who dreamt up torture methods and exulted in the suffering of victims. A man for whom relationships had no meaning, who despised the masses and who fabricated his own image for posterity.Well, then Café Mao is the place for you.
There's also a Benito's in Dalkey, Co. Dublin which honors another 'great man' from the twentieth century. I'm sure there are plans afoot to open a Saddam Steakhouse, or something. A place called the Pol Pot would definitely do well.
That description above is from Jung Chang's new biography of Mao.
