A sandwich is a food - often meat, but not always - held between two pieces of bread for the purpose of eating it without getting your hands dirty.



A hamburger is certainly a sandwich. The only reason I can see why one would not consider a hot dog a sandwich is because it is not two separate pieces of bread. It is a split bun. Obviously these people have never eaten cheap store brand hot dog buns, because they invariably come apart at the hinge and then you have two pieces of bread.



So yes, a hot dog is a sandwich.
