Let's talk Gatsbys

Precisely. Far better to order a sandwich with a side of chips. They'll both taste far better...

Yeah but that's not a Gatsby then is it, that's just a baguette sandwich with a side order of chips :D
 
Re: Let's talk Gatsby's

Less debating, more recommendations, especially in Joburg West Rand :p
 
We usually stop at Golden Dish at 4am after some clubbing for some vienna gatsbies. The gatsbies aren't as great as it used to be, but what else is open at that time of the day that could feed 8 people for R100?

Lol that's funny... So it turns out I had my 1st gatsby at your aunts take-away.
I ate 1/2 meter of that gatsby in one sitting... the "Steak Full House" I think it was called.

Across the street from your guy's place they have a special if you eat the AK47 in 30 minutes you get your R100 back (I think you need to finish 1L cola as well)
I didn't go there though, people flocked to Food Planet so I thought "Hey, go where the locals go"

I would REALLY love to see anyone eat a full Gatsby in 30 minutes... I personally think it's impossible.

something nice is convenient. that is all. roll is not so nice. had one from nibblers at the caltex on forrest drive on friday. wife enjoyed it.

sammy food planet's boerewors gadsby is very nice. with a litre frulati, drive to the beach on a hot afternoon. very nice. they have one in kuils river also now. had a good fullhouse there as well. but for me the best is in athlone. there is always a debate about where it started.

but for me i started having them in athlone and thats still my favourite. i have had it at many places but i only have a few favourites. there was an email doing the rounds about gadsby ettiquette. i LOL'd when i read that thing. true word for word...

there is a gadsby appreciation thread on facebook as well. pictures of a couple of monster gebbas on there...

Yes she's always with. She only eats half of her quarter, so I end up eating 3/8ths of the gatsby.

Something nice in Tuscany? Yes the gatsbies are good, but the queues are crazy long over weekends.

i know from campus anything that falls of the gastby is free game ...and also we used the line "hey check the dead bird flying" and when the guys look up ..its free for all

Terms & Conditions when eating a Gatsby

1. Keep the time between purchase and consumption of the Gatsby as short as possible. Cold chips are no one's friend.

2. Cut the Gatsby into a maximum of four pieces. Anything smaller is a gross injustice to the Gatsby because there's no way you'll be filled by a fifth or less.

3. Any chip falling from any given piece of the Gatsby is considered fair game. The ruling on this is final.

4. When separating the Gatsby, note the point of division: practice absolute precision here to avoid taking the bottom roll of the next person's piece. Ask for assistance if necessary.

5. You must finish your share. Besides it being a terrible waste, you'll be scorned by the Gatsby Fraternity for all time for being vesin.

6. Grip is critical. Cup your piece in your hand so that loose bits have nowhere to fall except back into your hands. Avoid the scenario described in Point 3.

7. Never leave the Gatsby unattended.

8. It's best to accompany the Gatsby with a beverage, ie Jive, Frulati or Cabana. Hearty burping guarantees relief.

9. Observe relative silence when consuming the Gatsby. No one likes to talk and eat at the same time. See Point 1 regarding cold chips.

10. Always wash hands with soap and water at the conclusion to avoid getting a spicy finger in the eye, a condition commonly known as Gatsby Eye. The only cure is self-induced crying. No one wants to see that, so just make the trip and wash your damn hands.

11. The bra that contributes the least towards the gatsby gets the smallest piece...

12. The Gatsby is not supposed to be eaten out of a plate, so make sure you ask the BB.Sc (Bra Behind Shop Counter) to doublewrap the Gatsby to ensure enough paper for everyone.

13. Avoid eye contact with anyone not eating the Gatsby for fear of them asking for a “stukkie” or shouting "kap 'n baat".

14. When sipping on the Frulati, make sure you only have 2 sips then pass... anyone attempting more than 2 sips forfeit the next round.

15. Nothing on the Gatsby is to be wasted (refer point 5), that includes any salads or sauces still remaining in the paper... lick it up!

16. When the Gatsby is finished, it’s obligatory to finish the ritual with a cigarette, beware though of anyone asking for “’n skyf”; thus make sure you get some sauce on the filter of the cigarette to avoid having to share your "entjie".

Mariams on the Foreshore makes a fantastic gatsby. It's basically top quality food presented to you as a gatsby. Other good places I would recommend - Cosy Corner in Wynberg and Ottery Farm Stall. Food Planet in Strand makes a gatsby large enough to feed a rugby team and it tastes great too! We used to go there often after returning from the beach when I was a student.

I have never been a fan of Golden Dish. Its always been known as a "vuil dite" amongst my family and friends.

True, but the texture and flavour of the chips are lost in the heap of bread. It's just a useless, tasteless filler imo and detracts from any other fillings added...

Then sir, you are doing something wrong.... chips and bread tasting the same / having the same texture?!?!?!?!

I am very disappointed.

The last Gatsby I made:

French loaf with cheese baked in the oven till the cheese is soft.

Mayo + chilli on both "slices" of the loaf.

Chips with bacon bits.

Sliced up pieces of steak.

Add some hot mustard and eat.
