Want to taste Kareena (Pizza) ? (Kareena reacts to Kareena Pizza)

It all started five years ago with a leading film publicist ordering a chocolate-cheese cake for Bollywood actor Bobby Deol from confectioner Milanda Jagtiani at Pali Hill. The three-tier cake, which has a baked lower half with a liberal helping of chocolate on the upper tier and some other magic ingredients in the centre, became such a hit at the Deol household that repeated orders followed from them. Happy to comply with the continuous orders from one of Bollywood's leading joint families (they have a lot of cakes because they host at least two dozen parties each year) and thrilled with the growing numbers ordered by them, Milanda named the cake Bobby Cake. Now it is a part of her designer menu. Jagtiani caters to the Pali Hill elite and invariably gets asked about the cake named after the Deol scion. At Urban Tadka, a middle-order suburban restaurant that is frequented by film and television personalities, the menu offered Om Puri Ka Mutton Saagwala because the actor, who lives a stone's throw away from this eating joint, patronised this eating place and the dish for years on end. "Currently a new menu is being planned; but whether it will once again have the Om Puri dish is something we don't know,'' says restaurant manager Augustin. When Sanjay Dutt frequented the TADA Court, a roadside joint named a mutton dish after Baba. But now, both the joint and the dish have been forgotten. An Italian joint in Delhi recently introduced the size-zero pizza named after Kareena Kapoor. And the flattered Bollywood diva, Kareena Kapoor, said: "I'm kicked that someone thought about naming a pizza after me."
