The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council weighed in on the debate back in 2015. "Limiting the hot dog's significance by saying it's 'just a sandwich' is like calling the Dalai Lama 'just a guy,'" it maintains. Yes, hot dogs are culturally significant. We can't help but point out, however, that The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council avoided addressing the technicalities that could put hot dogs solidly in the sandwich territory.
As far as we can tell, the is-a-hot-dog-technically-a-sandwich debate revolves around bread. Can a sandwich be open-faced? Must it include two slices of bread and be open on all sides? In 2018, The Takeout conducted a five-month survey of people-in-the-know. Stunningly, only 26.5 percent believed that hotdogs fit into the sandwich category.
Well, next Alton Brown tweeted his own definition of a sandwich for all of us to shout about. According to Brown, a sandwich is "any food designed to be conveyed to the mouth by fingers whereby the food and fingers are separated by leavened bread which directly juxtaposes at least two sides of the filling and is consumed along with the filling." Do you buy it? If so, case solved. Hot dogs are undoubtedly in.
