Trying a Giant Gatsby Sandwich in Cape Town 🇿🇦🥪 South Africa’s Ultimate Fast Food Challenge! 😅💸

Join us as we eat the Gatsby submarine sandwich for lunch in Cape Town, South Africa at Miriam's Kitchen. Originating from the Cape Flats area of Cape Town the Gatsby Sandwich is named after 'The Great Gatsby' novel by author F. Scott Fitzgerald. Originally the Gatsby sandwich was basically large rolls filled with whatever was leftover from supper but in a restaurant today you'll typically find ingredients such as hot chips (French Fries), slap chips (fries with vinegar), achar and/or piri piri sauce and ingredients such as chargrilled steak, chicken, masala steak or pickled fish. It makes for a great budget meal if you're visiting Cape Town. Trying a Giant Gatsby Sandwich in Cape Town 🇿🇦🥪 | South Africa’s Ultimate Fast Food Challenge! 🥪 The Ultimate Gatsby Sandwich Challenge in Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦 | Food Overload at Mariam's Kitchen 🌍 Introduction: Gatsby Madness in Cape Town The video opens with the hosts’ astonishment as they are presented with two gigantic Gatsby sandwiches at Mariam’s Kitchen in Cape Town. The Gatsby, a legendary South African fast food creation from the Cape Flats, arrives in portions so enormous that even half orders are larger than their heads! Designed to feed a crowd, these sandwiches are a true local experience. 🥪 What is a Gatsby? Inside the Behemoth The hosts introduce the Gatsby as a massive submarine sandwich—think of a super-sized sub loaded with a range of fillings. The universal Gatsby ingredient? Chips (French fries)! The hosts’ choices include: Steak Masala Gatsby: Packed with chips, a generous hunk of steak, salad, onions, barbecue sauce, and spicy piri piri. The flavors are rich, bold, and incredibly satisfying. Chips & Cheese Gatsby: Filled with fries, gooey cheese, sweet tomato sauce, piri piri spice, and a little bit of salad. It’s comfort food taken to the extreme. They marvel at the size, emphasizing that this “half” is still enough to feed several people—and their reactions are filled with awe (and a bit of dread at the challenge ahead). 🍴 The Gatsby Eating Challenge: First Bites & Flavors Both hosts dig in with their hands (as is tradition—no cutlery allowed). They highlight: The immense size of each bite, noting that just holding the Gatsby is a challenge. The Steak Masala version stands out for its spicy, saucy, meaty flavor, with caramelized onions and a great mix of textures. The Chips & Cheese version delivers carb overload with a gooey, sweet, and spicy profile, perfectly offset by the tomato sauce. The hosts joke about how the Gatsby feels like the kind of “hangover food” or something a hungry kid would dream up—stuffing fries, steak, and sauce into a massive sandwich. 🔄 Swapping Sandwiches: Comparing the Fillings After swapping sandwiches, both agree that while the chips & cheese Gatsby is delicious, the steak masala version is the winner for its spicy kick and satisfying meaty texture. They laugh at how little they’ve actually eaten—barely making a dent despite huge efforts. 🥤 The Perfect Drink Pairing To wash it all down, the host enjoys a Stoney Ginger Beer, a local non-alcoholic soda that’s much stronger and spicier than classic ginger ale—an ideal companion to such a rich, heavy meal. 😅 Defeated by the Gatsby: Final Thoughts & Tips As the meal comes to a close, both hosts admit total defeat by the Gatsby, each finishing only a quarter of their sandwich. They show off the leftovers, joking about the size and how “annihilated” they feel by the experience. 💸 Value for Money The total bill comes to 155 Rand (about $11 USD) for two huge Gatsbys—unbeatable value considering the sheer amount of food. They strongly recommend coming with friends and sharing a single half, unless you have a massive appetite. 🌟 Recommendations & Wrap Up Where to Try: The Gatsby is a must-eat Cape Town classic, best enjoyed at local institutions like Mariam’s Kitchen. Top Tips: Order with a buddy, don’t be fooled by the “half” portion, and be ready for a serious food challenge! Must-Try Filling: Steak Masala with fries—hands down the winner for spice lovers!
