Braxton here and after sparking debate amongst the vendors at the Norfolk stadium, I'm here with a an extremely hot take it seems.
The hot dog IS a sandwich.
I haven't taken any surveys or anything like that so I'm not aware if I've alienated myself from a majority opinion/classification.
The History of the Humble Hot dog
Dating back rumoured to even be the creation of a chef, Gaius, who made meals for the Roman Emperor Nero, the sausage has been a popular staple amongst many European nations. This recipe ended up into a bun with what some believe to be the family tradition for a unnamed german immigrant. Another german immigrant, Charles Feltman, opened the first hot dog stand on Coney Island, called them 'frankfurters.' Eventually they were sold at Giant's baseball games under the pseudonym 'red hots.' Hot dogs spread across the nation and were even served up by our American president, FDR to the King of England.
The branding of the final name 'hot dog' can be traced back to 1880s Indiana, and furthermore a play on the accusation of sausage makers using actual dogs in their cuisine. While the origins partially remains a mystery, the debate rages on whether this assemblance of cheap meat encased in cellulose, an inedible plant fiber in a bun is a sandwich. While delicious and a comfort food, we can't deny the fact that the industrialization of this product has taken the mystique out of the genuine article of a true American past time. No matter the case or state of things, I'll display my classification of this subject.
Cross Examination
Looking at certain examples such as chicken wraps, burritos,or even pigs in a blanket or other vessels that are not classified as sandwiches. We see that there are several distinct factors that classifies them in categories of their own, it's that there are no slice(s) of bread or vegetables included that are the trademark indicators of a sandwich. A weiner in the middle of a bun of bread with the option of relish is just as much a sandwich as a hamburger. Like it or not this fits into sandwich family.
In Conclusion
When looking down the barrel of your next hot dog, just remember why it's a sandwich and you'd be wrong to think otherwise. Don't @ me, sorry not sorry.
