You are correct, my apologies Mattlawson, my comment was out of line.
I still thing the method of consumption

plays a part in determining whether it's a sandwich or not. A Hotdog is kind of a pain in the ass to eat once you start adding toppings. A properly constructed sandwich should be easy to eat regardless. Hot dogs and tacos don't fit the bill when it comes to this important requirement.

Good point. If you cut the bun in half, then it's definitely a sandwich.

So if the bun breaks in half in the middle of eating it, it goes from being a hot dog to a sandwich?

Still not a sandwich. Not then, not ever. If the hotdog is allowed into the "sandwich" family, all of a sudden people who fold their pizza slices are also eating a fucking sandwich.

This kind of stuff needs strict rules otherwise people ruin the structures of everything.

When you have to take sliced bread or slice bread or a roll in order to be able to then "sandwich" things between them feel more like a sandwich to me.

Chuckie: Would you shut the fuck up? I know what you ordered, I was there.

Morgan: So give me my fuckin' sandwich.

Chuckie: What do you mean your sandwich? I bought it. Hey Morgan how much money you got on you?

Morgan: I said I'd give you the change when we ordered the Sno-Cones when we pulled up, so why don't you give me my sandwich and stop being a prick.

Chuckie: Well why don't you give me your fucking sixteen cents you got on you and we'll put your sandwich on layaway, [puts the burger on the dashboard] there you go, keep it right up here for you. We'll put you on a program. Every day you come in with your six cents, and at the end of the week you'll have your sandwich.

Morgan: Don't be an asshole.

Chuckie: What am I? Your fuckin' sandwich welfare? I think you should establish a good line of credit. Like how you bought your couch. Payment plans. Remember? Your mother brought in ten dollars every day for a year..she finally got a couch Rent-a-Center style.

pjcas18 : 10/31/2014 4:22 pm : link
make a case for a hotdog being a sandwich easily or exclude it on a technicality if you're inclined based on interpretation of "filling", but it seems like it's clear that the answer is clearly yes.

Ever run out of hotdog buns and use a slice of bread in a pinch? works perfectly well. No difference from a split bun.

I wouldn't call a burger or a dog a sandwich. I agree it's in its own category. A bun is designed especially to deliver each item, whereas a sandwich can be on a variety of breads or rolls.

Better argument is a burger since it is "technically" on two pieces of bread (though they do not come packed that way all the time.

Let's really argue though...I do NOT get down with "open faced" sandwiches. What a load of bullshit.

again, according to Webster, your issue comes with definition B.

According to the authority on this topic, hotdogs, hamburgers, traditional sandwiches, subs, etc. as well as open faced sandwiches are all sandwiches:

but if I go into a place and say..give me a hot dog sandwich….if they are honest they will say….what are you stupid?
You want a hot dog or a sandwich, which is it?

No never.
I can put four hotdogs in between, in the middle, between pieces of bread…that would be a hotdog sandwich. Hot dog is a hot dog bun and all dressings whatever it is never a sandwich, it's a hot dog.
I don't think of a hotdog as a sandwich.

A bun isn't a slice of bread (necessarily, but particularly in the case of the famed hot dog), and if you took a slice of bread, a hot dog would not cover it (to what degree necessary it needs to cover is one of man's great mysteries.).

Hot dogs may not be considered food either. However, when you do consume one, it shall be Kosher and done with KETCHUP. Fuck Mustard. Wanna fight?

I will say there is anecdotal evidence that when people say hotdog sandwich, it is not a hotdog on a bun that comes to mind. To make a sandwich you'd really have to slice them to keep them in place. Maybe one of those gross concoctions shown above.

How about someone holding a platter of hotdogs. Ever hear them say "Anyone want another sandwich?"
Or some variation of that. They are two different things.

I'm going to get all confused now and will not look at a hot dog the same. God damn, I love hot dogs though. I'll take 75 hot dogs before I eat one hamburger. Sandwich or not it is so unhealthy that I love them. Hot dogs + Pepsi/Coke on a summer day watching baseball is second only to watching football games and eating wings.
A hotdog is a sausage.

I know this because a few weeks ago I went to Wendy's for lunch and ordered a classic single with cheese and the woman said "do you want the meal or just the sandwich?"

Also, whoever inquired about the bagel with the cold cuts on it. That does qualify.

Everyone knows a hot dog is not a sandwich. Some people just can't leave well enough alone and want to fuck everything up.

If you get one you say " I had a sausage and peppers." You dont say "I had a sausage and peppers sandwich." At least I dont.

Did you eat the sausage and peppers  
pjcas18 : 10/31/2014 8:34 pm : link
on a plate? If not, if you had them on some type of bread and you say "I had a sausage and peppers" then you're weird.

What do you call some meatballs on some type of bread "a meatball"?

No, it's usually a meatball sub or a sausage and peppers sub or something like that.

and a sub is a sandwich. I hope we don't need to debate that. And if you put the sausage and peppers on a regular non-sub roll or slices of bread and you don't call that a sandwich then you're just trying to be argumentative.

Hambergers  
ron in new mexico : 10/31/2014 8:42 pm : link
are now totally different.

I hope no one head explodes over this but….one chain is now making a hamberger with two hamburgs one on top and one on bottom with some other sort of filling lettuce or something in the middle. NO bun at all. You sort of hold the wrapper to eat it.

It is nevertheless still called a hamburger, a skinny burger or something like that….;)I think nevertheless if you asked for a hamberger sandwich I think someone would know what you mean, a hotdog sandwich..no..

...why wouldn't it be a sandwich? I never even thought about it. But hell, one from Jimmy Buff's undeniably would be.

when you buy hotdogs at the store  
fkap : 11/1/2014 7:48 am : link
do they come with bread/buns or toppings?

No.

a hotdog is only the tube of ground up lips, guts, and whatever part of the animal is left after they cut out the muscle tissue (commonly referred to as meat).

We're all being presumptive that when we go to a stand and order a hotdog the hotdog will come on a bun.

putting it on the roll/bun puts it in the category of sub, which is short for submarine sandwich.

so, yes, a hotdog on a roll/bun is a sandwich.
According to the American Heritage Dictionary...  
BMac : 11/1/2014 8:39 am : link
...a sandwich is "two or more slices of bread with a filling such as meat or cheese placed between them, or a partly split long or round roll containing a filling."

At last, a definitive statement from a recognized authoritative source.
