Opinions?

Quesadillas are pizza is the hill I am defending. Everything else I can take or leave (although I do like the "lasagna is cake" school of thought).

My teacher made me write a DBQ with the prompt "evaluate the extent to which a hot dog is a sandwhich"

Definition of sandwich - "an item of food consisting of two pieces of bread with meat, cheese, or other filling between them, eaten as a light meal"
A hot dog will never be a sandwich

A hot dog bun is practically two pieces of bread, and does that mean that if your bun splits then it is definitively a sandwich? This is not a practical way to distinguish between them.

How about submarine sandwiches?

The dictionary characterizes them as sandwich, so according to the dictionary, yes it is. I guess those are just exceptions from the rule.

Well that is not the only way. Hot dogs have sausages in their cylindrical form, while sandwiches have "meat, cheese, or other filling." There really isn't much to compares. It's not like you put shredded up lettuce in your hot dogs.

My mom puts spinach in our hot dog sandwiches sometimes

my thesis was a hot dog is a sandwhich to a very moderate extent. Although it does resemble a sandwhich, it lacks the 2 pieces of bread that other types of sandwhiches have. Also it has more significance in American culture than regular sandwhiches.
