For me the answer comes from the difference between slices of bread and a bun. If it's between two slices of bread (or one if you're a risk taker and prefer open face), then it's a sandwich. If it's on a bun it gets distinguished as it's own food.

Arby's is on a bun. They call it a sandwich. Just sayin

A bun is just bread sliced horizontally instead of vertically. So I have a hard time with this one as well.
I mean, if you take a bun and cut it all the way through - that's 2 slices of bread. Maybe the only difference is its more clear which one is the top, and which is the bottom.

Now that I think of it - this kind of means 98% of sandwiches are technically being eaten sideways, because you end up with the bottom of the bread loaf on its side.

Open-face is definitely not a sandwich. I mean, that's like making a sandwich and you got too lazy to finish the job. A sandwich by definition has two sides.
I mean, think about how we use the word, "I was sandwiched between two fat people". You wouldn't say, "I was open-face sandwiched between a fat person and a guy who was way over there." That would be just sitting beside the guy, you have an escape route.

I think what we have here is a similar discussion as to differentiating the idiosyncrasies between a 'Christmas movie' and a 'Christmas TIME movie'. Let's look at this in a vacuum. If you take 'fill in the blank item' off the bun and put it between two slices of white bread, does it still stand up as being a delicious meal??? If the answer is yes, it's a sandwich. If the answer is no, it's not.

Nobody said anything about delicious meals.
This is about hot dogs.

Thanks, I nearly spit coffee on my check set...
 
If we are getting technical a hotdog is just a tube of processed meat, no bread is usually on a hotdog. The preferred delivery method is to put said hotdog onto a bun, custom baked with hotdogs in mind but not part of the actual dog. So this ends the argument over if a hotdog is a sandwich, because it is not, it is only a processed meat product. But it can be prepared on a bun that we can debate about until the cows come home.

In fairness...that Boars Head deli meat that everyone loves to make their sandwiches with, is processed too. So does that mean we're calling in to question a sandwich's sandwichy-ness based on quality of meat???

Absolutely, boars head meat is not a sandwich either, just an ingredient. If you go food lion and ask for a hotdog you will get a pack of tube shaped processed meat, if you asked for a boars head you will get a weird look, or directed toward the deli counter, if they carry it. In neither situation will you get a sandwich.
 
No a tube shaped piece of meat is a weiner. A weiner in a bun is a hot dog.
 
I hate hot dogs. Have since I was a kid. I’ll try and eat one every now and then just to confirm I still hate them. It’s not a sandwich. Sandwiches are delicious. A hotdog tastes like a hog farm smells. Like shit!!! The only time I ever threw down on about 6 hotdogs was after mountain phase of ranger school in dehlonega, GA. I would have eaten a turd at that point and the hotdogs were equivalent.
 
techically, a variety of meat place into a bun is a hoagie. and a hoagie is a sandwich.

therefore, hotdogs are sandwiches.
 
This is the best hotdog around here.............Carolina Packers - Hotdogs


with chili,slaw,onions, mustard and ketchup. Jesse James is #2 .............It is important that whatever hot dogs you have are cooked on forked sticks over a campfire and slathered w chili from a can half opened and shoved into the coals.

Steven's hotdogs are equal to the Brightleaf hotdogs, and cost a little less on average. The best can of hotdog chili is Patterson's, hands down!
 
A "soft taco" isn't a taco ..... it's just a small burrito. More food propaganda!
A hotdog is the actual meat of the hot dog sammich.
The bun is a "specialty bread" just like a sub.

But more importantly ..... bacon!
