The Gatsby is a massive sandwich in the shape of a submarine that is meant to be shared. A whole Gatsby can comfortably feed a family of four or two hangover-stricken buddies. Any number of ingredients, from simple polony to calamari, eggs, masala steak, boerewors and hot French fries, can be used as toppings. It will be well fried and frequently covered in salt and vinegar.
