It's Jakes Actually

Most 18 to 25 year-olds will agree that their diet is hugely affected by which watering hole they just so happened to be sinking a few cold ones at. Whether it’s the five minute walk to the nearest petrol station for a ‘sausage roll’ or the surprisingly palatable ‘boerie roll’ sold on the side of the street. For me it was the 10 metre stagger to Steers where I would invariably order the same thing: ‘Club Sandwich and chips’ for a then whopping R19.99.

The combination of bacon, cheese, chicken mayo and freshly toasted white bread was just magical. Despite the fact that one’s taste buds were rather diluted by the evenings excesses, the club sandwich still managed to hit the spot. Whether it was the combination of flavours, or the differing textures or the mere fact that there were two, that’s right, two meats on this culinary master piece made the extra wait all that more bearable.

So imagine my surprise when ordering my beloved ‘club sandwich and chips ‘only to be told it was no longer on the menu. WTF? Surely not? The Club Sandwich, are they sure? This piece of sandwich genius was surely far too valuable an asset for them to discard off the menu? I was bitterly disappointed and even decided to boycott Steers in protest.

So my question to you is, Should Steers bring back the ‘Club Sandwich and Chips’? Vote on this week’s poll.
