Those ingredients included: 3 kilograms of tomatoes. About 20 kilograms of meat, from three types of sliced sausage to steak to burger patties and chicken fillets. Three layers of french fries weighing a total of around 10 kilograms to break up the meats. A layer of calamari for those who prefer seafood. And, finally, a generous helping of onion rings on top. All in a sandwich.The sauces ranged from garlic to cheese, pepper, mushroom and tartare, depending on which layer.
The sandwich was a gigantic take on the Gatsby, a renowned South African takeaway meal that has its own unique history. The Gatsby is usually made up of “slap chips” — sloppy french fries — and meat in a chunky bread roll and was traditionally served big enough to feed multiple people. It was born in Cape Town in the mid-1970s as a takeaway for blue-collar workers who would cut it up and share it.
