A Debate as Old as Time

A hot dog is a hot dog. Duh. Just like a hamburger is a hamburger. They both exist in and of themselves. Iconic. Timeless.

The big debate comes when you bring subs, grinders, and hoagies into the mix.

Gyro sandwiches use one piece of pita but they're still considered sandwiches.

^Also, open face sandwiches only use one piece of bread and are still considered a sandwich.

I think these are better for discussion:

Spoiler for Sandwiches??:

So the next time I'm ordering a hot dog from some place, should I now say I want a hot dog sandwich? I have never in my life heard it be called a hot dog sandwich.

It wouldn't be incorrect, it'd would just make you look sillier than usual.

I will admit that there are reasons why someone would call it a sandwich, but i just don't see it. Also, the toppings. As far as I know, ketchup, sauerkraut, and relish don't seem to be traditional toppings for a sandwich. I could be wrong.

Speaking of grinders....

When I lived back east this place was a 5 minute walk around the corner from us. So good.
