There\u2019s also a cup-full of butter to go with it. \u201cSince we announced it with a banner outside our restaurant, many curious onlookers come in, specifically for the Trump special,\u201d beams Vippin Purushothaman, marketing manager, adding that about 130 Trump dosas are being dished out every day to customers.<\/p>\n<p>The decade-old hotel chain, which has six branches across the city, initially faced a backlash when it advertised the \u2018Trump dosa\u2019 outside its premises.<\/p>\n<p>Some well-wishers said it would be \u2018controversial\u2019. But Mukund Das is determined to keep it rolling for the next few days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf an artist likes a celebrity, he could paint him\/her as a tribute. But, as a hotelier, all I can do is introduce a new dish and name it after the person, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Try out the dosa at Suprabaa, No.2, Valluvar Salai, KPR Garden, Ramapuram, between 7a.m. and 11 p.m. till this weekend.
