According to Merriam-Webster, a sandwich is defined as "two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between." By this logic, it's hard to argue that a hot dog doesn't fit the bill. after all, what's a hot dog bun if not a split roll with a tasty filling in between? It's a definition that has linguists and food enthusiasts alike scratching their heads.
One of the main arguments against the hot dog being a sandwich is that it's served on a single, connected bun, rather than two separate slices of bread. But let's be real, folks, who among us hasn't bitten into a sub sandwich or a hoagie and thought, "wait a minute, isn't this just a fancy hot dog?" It's a blurry line, to say the least, and one that has sparked some pretty creative arguments from both sides.
