“A hot dog fits the broad sandwich template of filling in bread. The bun is connected, but that feels like a technicality more than a real distinction.”

“A sandwich typically consists of fillings between two distinct slices of bread. A hot dog's bun is a single piece, hinged, which differentiates its structural integrity from a conventional sandwich.”

“A hot dog is absolutely a sandwich since it's meat between bread. Stop overthinking it, people.”
