Captain Dorego (Retreat), Aneesas (Wynberg), Cosy Corner (Wynberg), Bona (Grassy Park), Taj (Grassy Park), Dollars (Salt River), Golden Dish (Athlone), Biesmilah (BoKaap) and…memory is bit vague but I think Poppy’s in Retreat Rd use to sell a decent Gatsby. One thing I wish they brought back though is the old fat crispy Gatsby role.
lucky norwegian who's had gatsby from both golden dish and mariams here. but dang those double chip rotis' from sunshine bakery in mowbray where humongous!
He was such a legend! We are releasing the full uncut interview with him on Sunday on our second channel if you want to watch 😊 www.youtube.com/@extra_SLOW
the mistake every foreigner makes is you cant make a Gatsby at home if you never tasted it in Cape town in the parking lot on the bonnet of your car at 5 in the morning.
I'm not even from Cpt and I'm offended by those "Gatsby blunders" 😡, let's ma come together and sue them 😅 wife introduced me to Golden Dish's masala steak Gatsby in 2010, my life has never been the same 😍😭... we should treat Gatsbys like they do champagne 🍾 if it wasn't made in Cpt by a Capetonian it is NOT a Gatsby 😄
Hi Ryan, thank you 💛 while we weaved it together the real shout out goes to the community, and those who share, with so much colour, flavour and honesty their gatsby opinions 😉 and of course those who try that result in delicious blunders.
It's funny how I laugh at Italians when they get bent outta shape about how people treat Italian dishes, but when I see the soulless gatsby creations in this video, it does make me a little upset. There's such a cultural element to the gatsby, that you can't just throw aside and still call it a gatsby.
You could not have said it better. That level of commitment and nuanced understanding brings respect. And that is why it becomes something we admire around the world. I hope there's an Italian somewhere laughing at us. - Han
Can someone please post the Gatsby eating rules for those that don't know them. 😂❤. This was awesome to watch. Haven't been in cape Town since October and I liss for a proper Gatsby 😅
The Great Gatsby Etiquette 1. Keep the time between purchase and consumption of the Gatsby as short as possible. Cold chips are no one's friend. 2. Cut the Gatsby into a maximum of four pieces for the medium and 6 for the large. Anything smaller is a gross injustice to the Gatsby because there's no way you'll be filled by a fifth or less. 3. Any chip falling from any given piece of the Gatsby is considered fair game. The ruling on this is final. 4. When separating the Gatsby, note the point of division: practice absolute precision here to avoid taking the bottom roll of the next person's piece. Ask for assistance if necessary. 5. You must finish your share. Besides it being a terrible waste, you'll be scorned by the Gatsby Fraternity for all time for being versin. 6. Grip is critical. Cup your piece in your hand so that loose bits have nowhere to fall except back into your hands. Avoid the scenario described in Point 3. 7. Never, ever leave the Gatsby unattended.It will "walk away" 8. It's best to accompany the Gatsby with a beverage, ie Coca Cola, Cream Soda or Stoney. Hearty burping guarantees relief. 9. Observe relative silence when consuming the Gatsby. No one likes to talk and eat at the same time. See Point 1 regarding cold chips. 10. Always wash hands with soap and water at the conclusion to avoid getting a spicy finger in the eye, a condition commonly known as "Gatsby Eye". The only cure is self-induced crying. No one wants to see that, so just make the trip and wash your damn hands. 11. The bra that contributes the least towards the gatsby gets the smallest piece... 12. The Gatsby is not supposed to be eaten out of a plate, so make sure you ask the BB.Sc (Bra Behind Shop Counter) to doublewrap the Gatsby to ensure enough paper for everyone. 13. Avoid eye contact with anyone not eating the Gatsby for fear of them asking for a stukkie or shouting "kap 'n baat". Alternatively turn the music volume up in your car. 14. When sipping on the Cola, make sure you only have 2 sips then pass... anyone attempting more than 2 sips forfeit the next round. NO BACKWASH!!! 15. Nothing on the Gatsby is to be wasted (refer point 5), that includes any salads or sauces still remaining in the paper...
Living abroad now for 15 years and i must say this video made me nostalgic. You guys made me feel so proud. Golden dish after a lekker session at gala or west end! I smaak a Gatsby now. And so happy to hear how the mense respect the rules LOKL
😬 Now where to go with all that nostalgia and get a gatsby abroad? Have you tried to make one yourself yet? We're so happy the doccie brought back some fond memories 😊
If you attempt to make a gatsby and you don't know what "Matejalas" is, you're going to F-up. And if your gatsby doesn't have matejalas, you are the F- up.
They can try all they want. It cannot be replicated unless it's in cape town. It cannot be evolved, it was born in its final stage. There is no equal, there is no "our version"... it's from cape town, and belongs in cape town
"It was born in its final stage" - hope someone attributes this quote to you, one day in an article or documentary. It could not have been said better! 💛
I have had many Gatsbys but the best is still at Super Fisheries and there neighbor the original Athlone fisheries, the basic polony gatsby with atcha is the best. Back to basics is the truth! You come out of school and you and 3 friends have already clubbed your odds together to by your "vuil dyt" and a drink... Good times.
@@gosomewhereSLOW it has to be a coke, even though back in the day we use to buy a 2l Frulatti which today would be your Cabana, but a cold Coke is the safe bet. As a father of 3 sons the tradition of buying a gatsby has been passed down to them, Gatsbys are part of our culture like koesisters on a Sunday morning 😊
Well done for highlighting the attempts at culturally appropriating the Gatsby... hulle vang kak an. Hands off!!!
We simply had to! It baffles that these fake ones still peek its head out every now and then!
Ek's 'n boertjie en ek change fokkol aan 'n gatsby nie my maat. Die fokken Ingilse en uitlanders beter ons Kaapse stuff los soos dit is, perfek!
Ever since I left Cape Town for Jozi I been regretting it ever since brahhh I miss a full house Gatsby with the boys. The ones here can't compete
What an ode to "Joss" Cosy Corner! Brilliant vid guys. Respect.
💛
Attended Spes Bona high school in the 1990's (when it was a boys only school) and used to go to Athlone fisheries to buy their atchar polony gatsby.
Very entertaining presentation of the culture around the Gatsby.
As a Cape Townian myself, I found this video hilarious!!!! Nothing better than a greasy, hot gatsby from Aneesa's, yoh!
☺️ What is your go-to gatsby from Aneesa's?
4:47 "sparkling water.....lying its Sprite"😂❤❤❤❤❤
🤣 You're quoting some of our favourite parts of the video!
Mabru that line sent me 🤣🤣🤣
Great video, I like the way it was made. Documenting the culture is always a W.

*also applies to chefs/food companies trying to reinvent the Gatsby!*

It is tough for me. Either Aneesas or Wajids. Mostly leaning to Aneesas though but Wajids still one of my personal favourites

First thing I wanna indulge in when I get to Capetown😩😋
Do it! What gatsby will you be getting?
The Shop on the corner where I work made Awesome Gatsby, sadly they did not survive the lockdown during the 2020.
That's sad, we lost so many good eateries because of the pandemic!
I love a Gatsby ❤
cool video

The video hungry South Africans need right now. Radness.
Gatsby stock market going up, we're all hungry for a real one!
Can someone tell me where the gatsby at 0:27 seconds into the video came from ?
That will be Farmstall Takeaways in Ottery, to see @Grimehouse's full video on this... watch here: ruclips.net/video/1NAJ-6ITDB4/видео.html

@@toppdogg1986 Thanks for letting me know . I will be taking a trip To Cozy corner this week
Yummy !!! Reminiscing about the times I shared a Gatsby with my firefighter brothers !!! Those were the days !!!
Spinach on a gatsby what the heck😆
Not just spinach... some boujee jam too!
I miss cape town now 😢
😭 Cape Town calling you for a visit and a bite!
A gatsby dite used to be a skarrel dite for the youths & skarrel kids
"I'm gonna call one Bianca and one Nicole.... lekka thicc"
I'm from the Gatsby days of when it was still Frulaati, and not Cabana
Now it's not even Cabana anymore, fancy Tropika!
No.....come on man,please don't come change our food man...#proudlycapetown😂😂😂
Preach! 👊

what?
A Gatsby of course!
Where you guys from?
@@gosomewhereSLOW what's your favorite gebba?
@@OuraníaWasHere after much debate, the official Gatsby of choice for the SLOW team is the chargrilled tandoori chicken from Cosy. What's yours?
This makes me think of Uncle Roger seeing Jamie Oliver make fried rice 😅😂🎉
That's a brilliant comparison!
This made my hungry
Mission accomplished 🤣
Gatsby is a Cape Town thing . Not joberg durban or anywhere else ever .
Now i miss cape Town even more. 😋
The Gatsby calling you home? 😊
For real, ✈️ soon insha Allah.🤲🏻
I love this
Thank you! It's the community's honest opinions that inspired this video!
My heart dropped when lady said put spinach into the gebba😮😮😮😮😢
Spinach, with some lekke Vitamin NOPE!
THIS IS SO RAD 🎉
So tell me....what exactly is a Gatsby???Just curious to know
steak masala gatsby vir masekind !
If you attempt to make a gatsby and you don't know what "Matejalas" is, you're going to F-up. And if your gatsby doesn't have matejalas, you are the F- up.
Fiesta and Cabana would not exist if not for the Gatsby.
You're dropping some facts here!
@@gosomewhereSLOW right??! I can't recall ever eating a Gatsby on the parade withOUT one or BOTH of those.
@@stephenarendse Also... (unpopular opinion perhaps), Cabana is better than Tropika.
@@gosomewhereSLOW eish, those are fighting words..!
Frulati
The Great pandering over bread with fillings.
They can try all they want. It cannot be replicated unless it's in cape town. It cannot be evolved, it was born in its final stage. There is no equal, there is no "our version"... it's from cape town, and belongs in cape town
"It was born in its final stage" - hope someone attributes this quote to you, one day in an article or documentary. It could not have been said better! 💛
@gosomewhereSLOW credit goes to The Gatsby. From a cars bonnet in a parking lot to a counter top in Constantia.. A great equalizer
Jou me se Gorgeous ....
a gatsby is just a special tieppe kos
It's a special one, one that should not be messed with, right?!
This made me home sick 🥲
Where do you find yourself now? Send SOS signal for a gatsby 😉
Jy vang kak aan
Google translate got it right 😂
Baked Beans !!!! WTF
There are no words. Only the fumes the baked beans left...
The smetter... The better. 😂😂
Well done. This was a great watch.
Our favourite quote from Grimehouse! 🤣
Nah bru,bloody rocket,tsek..
There is no place for fancy leaves.
Frulaati
lol im from cape town and im not a fan of gatsbys . ate it years ago last .
😭
Russian gatsby forever!
And a FRULATI😂
😉

Nostalgia definitely has a delicious taste to it! What's your go-to drink of choice with a polony gatsby?
@@gosomewhereSLOW it has to be a coke, even though back in the day we use to buy a 2l Frulatti which today would be your Cabana, but a cold Coke is the safe bet.
