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. |

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.
It must be portable? WTF - some of the best sandwiches aren't terribly portable.
So the Guiness recordhold for World's Biggest Sandwich isn't a sandwich. Unless they mean portable on a flatbed

It's the source quoted for this thread. Try keeping your eye on the ball, just for once.
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.
Now THAT I would put mustard on.
That ought to give you pause for thought right there, Greg.
Now you know you're wrong for sure.
