NFT: Is a Hot Dog a Sandwich?

BrettNYG10 : 11/6/2015 9:05 am
The Atlantic says no:

Quote:
Every once in awhile, with a regularity that is both astounding and reassuring, Americans will gather together to raise their voices, lock their eyes, and engage in a passionate, high-stakes debate about one of the grand questions of our time. Is a hot dog a sandwich?

You really can argue it both ways, which is of course what gives the debate so much, er, meat. On the one hand, hot dogs, structurally, hew to that most sandwichy of arrangements: They are processed protein, surrounded by processed carbohydrate. On the other hand, though, hot dogs are cylindrical, rather than sandwichily prismatic, in shape. And vertical, rather than horizontal, in orientation. Oh, and there’s the broad fact that we don’t call them sandwiches, which might suggest that the matter, ongoing debates notwithstanding, has already been settled.

Yeah, I don't get this one at all.


what? you heathens don't stand your hot dogs up on little feet before you eat them?


the whole thing seems to come down to orientation  
mattlawson : 11/6/2015 9:32 am : link
an open faced "sandwich" on a sub roll then is also not a sandwich. a sub is not a sandwich apparently either.

the more you unpack it the stupider it gets.

It must be portable? WTF - some of the best sandwiches aren't terribly portable.
what if it's wrapped in bacon, deep fried and covered with pulled pork  
Greg from LI : 11/6/2015 9:33 am : link
and cole slaw, like the sublime Hogshead Café dog? Is that a sandwich then?


Hot dog with ketchup  
RB^2 : 11/6/2015 9:34 am : link

Deep Fried

Knowing who started it, are you surprised?

a Hot Dog is closer to a Roast Beef sandwich

Jews have been eating a sandwich at the Passover Seder for 2000 years. So the real question to me is whether a hot dog is a Hillel.

So The Atlantic is now the accepted source on what constitutes a sandwich :) "The Sandwich Index we created"
Ok,take a hot dog bun. Break the attachment down the middle. Lay the bottom piece horizontally on a plate. Place hot dog on it, Put mustard on top half of the former bun and cover the hot dog with it. Done.
who the fuck is the National Hot Dog Council???

I actually really enjoyed visiting Chicago. I'm sure there are some shithole parts of it, but not sure why anyone would have such vitriol for an entire city.

Wait...it's Greg. Nevermind.
