The gatsby is one of the most iconic dishes in Cape Town \u2013 a culinary landmark if you will. The super sandwich is traditionally filled with salad, loads of saucy chips and meat, all snugly held together by a soft white roll. If you want to keep it really traditional, go for viennas\u00a0or polony as your filling, or if you want to jazz it up a little, try masala steak, curry or maybe\u00a0chicken. They are usually pretty monstrous and will bust the biggest of hungers, so if you order a full one, make sure you have buddies with you to share it with. If you\u2019re curious to find out where you can get your hands on one, look no further than this list of where to go to get the best Gatsby in Cape Town.<\/p>\n
