Udipi Hotel is a generic term that refers to a South Kanarese hotel. The joke simply means that they are everywhere. Allow us to leave the petty shop and proceed directly to the Udipi Hotel. People like their food, which is why they are everywhere. Madrasis, like their Kadabus, are from the land of Idli Sambar (a variant of Idli).Spicy Andhraites who contributed the term “Andhra Meals,” such as their Kori Rutti (Chicken – Rice Roti). Neer Dosa is popular among Bangaloreans who eat Masala Dosa. Bombay-wallas who make hundreds of different flavours of ice cream, such as their Gadbud. Delhi bai-saabs, also known as “sweet people,” enjoy their wheat Halwas. These are just a few of the dishes that have become household names, enticing millions of people across the country and beyond. People enjoy these dishes because they are tasty.
