Short description
A Gatsby sandwich is an oversized stuffed roll built around chips and a filling such as steak, chicken, sausage, seafood, or plant-based pieces.
Ingredients
A long roll is filled with slap chips, sauce, shredded vegetables, and a hearty filling such as steak, chicken, sausage, seafood, or plant-based pieces.
Cultural note
Its scale is part of the identity: one sandwich is often cut into portions for a group.
Common misconception
It is not just a submarine sandwich with fries on the side; the chips are part of the filling.
