What's your favorite sandwich?
-
Anything a woman makes.
-
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HA.
-
I changed my mind.
Anything Zook makes.
-
don't like them toasted...shreds the roof of my mouth.
Im into dijon lately.
-
a nice turkey club on whole wheat toast.. bacon ( duh..lol) a few slices of tomato and lettuce, mayo..
or a nice spiced ham, honey ham,turkey, shredded lettuce oil n vinager, and russian dressing on a sub roll..
a nice tuna sub is also quite good..
-
Turkey, bacon, and provolone on a nicely toasted sub roll.
-
i've substituted baby spinach for all my lettuce needs...tastes the same and is really good for you.

Spinach > Lettuce
I do the same

Cuban sandwichs are fraking awesome. Too bad most places screw up something so freaking simple.

Psychostick makes some really good sandwiches

I've never had a sex sandwich before. I heard they're pretty tasty. :eyebrows:
-
The one I'm eating right now.

Right now, my favorite sandwich is a croissant with turkey, lettuce, alfalfa sprouts, cucumber, and ranch dressing. Delightful.
My dream is to actually own a restaurant that specializes in sandwiches and burgers. The store I work at, I currently have three of my creations available for purchase.
-
I... think I am going to make a sandwich...
-
Last night I rediscovered one of my old faves. Onion bagel with cream cheese and chilled smoked salmon. Wal Mart was out of the store brand's regular cream cheese so I had to get the whipped kind. I'd never had it before but I actually like it better since you can use less of it while still getting the same level of sandwich-driness remedying without any noticeable loss of flavor.
-
Onion bagels make awesome sandwich bread. My favorite is roast beef with smoked gouda and my friends special habanero horseradish on an onion bagel. Hell, it's just a great reason to use habanero horseradish.
-
Fortheloveofcooking blog has some killer sandwich recipes.
-
Prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers with balsamic vinegar on crusty Italian bread.
-
turkey and mash potatoes on a biscuit. Awe shit.
-
You know how your computer knows what to show you after you type about a subject? This came up on FB just now - I assume - because I posted some very favorable words about a BLT yesterday. Somehow I just knew in a forum full of guys that a thread already existed about sandwiches. :lol
OK - here's the thing....rank them or don't but one of them has to go. Which is it?

Going off each as they are presented....
Grilled cheese
BLT
Egg sandwich
PB&J
Baloney and cheese
Wtf people eat a slice of tomato between slices of bread?
-
Egg Salad GTFO!
-
Egg Salad GTFO!
Now said in stereo.
-
I've never had PB&J, but I imagine it would be better than pure tomato. Not a fan of raw tomatoes.
-
Reuben. One of my favorite foods.
-
Can we find a way to put a space in the title? It freaks me out to see all of that in one word.
As for Harmony's question, I would go with Tomato sandwich. I think if that Egg sandwich had a hash brown in there with some ketchup, I think there is something redeemable in it, but it's still at the bottom of that list.

Maybe a regional thing as I believe you are not US-based? I would think every US citizen has had a PB&J by the time they reach grade school.

Definitely regional, if only because we would call it "Jam" in the UK, not jelly.
-
Cheese steak xtra cheese (american) fried onions, pepperoni and hot peppers
-
An Italian diablo from Primos is damn good also
-
Tomato can go, cuz everything in there is enhanced with bacon, lettuce (and cheese ... who doesn't put cheese on a BLT?)
Give me a nice fried egg sammich, and I've started my day off right (which I did this morning). Turkey Club is planned for lunch.
Rankings of the above:
BLT
Grilled Cheese
PB&J (gotta be crunchy PB though)
Egg Salad
Bologna
Tomato
-
Kick that tomato Sammie to the curb. Chef has spoken.
Also very bummed it's a necrothread and mizzl didn't return. Remember when he went on vacation and came back to all of us having his pic as our avatars :lol

BLT's are LITERALLY the only thing cheese isn't good on. I NEVER put cheese on my BLT.
In that list, I would ditch the tomato sandwich; I like them, but they don't hold a candle to the others. I LOVE a baloney sammich better if the baloney is lightly fried. Egg sandwiches are the bomb, but they have to be done right (need a little celery in there for crunch).
My favorite sandwiches are Italians (Sarcone's in Philly is topnotch, though I heard rumblings they closed), or a good Philly steak and cheese (Jim's, on South Street, in case anyone cares).
-
That tomato sandwich needs to go, wtf if that. And if I were to eat a tomato sandwich, it would be on italian bread with some oil and or balsamic and fresh mozz. If that was presented, I'd probably remove the baloney sandwich.
-
The wife makes tomato sandwiches. She lightly spreads mayo then added spices to it like basil and oregano and pepper. Slaps on a slice of cheese and it's every good. I do like on some artisanal, hearty breads though.

Yeah, I think that white bread in the picture is a major turn off to an actual tomato sandwich

Celery?? On a sammich??
-
Yea.. celery on an egg sandwich? I'm assuming it's from the picture of a breakfast egg sandwich not an egg salad sandwich. I can see it on egg salad, but not on a breakfast sandwich.

Celery?? On a sammich??
No, no, when you mix up the egg salad, put some diced celery in there. I do the same thing when I make tuna salad (which I love). Two cans of tuna fish, packed in water, a half-stalk or so of celery, finely diced, salt (be careful, the tuna is sometimes salty itself), pepper, and mayo. Mix it up, put it on a piece of white bread, lay a slab of American cheese on it, put it in the broiler, then add the second piece of bread, and voila! Only thing that makes it better is a cup of tomato soup.
I've already given my recipe for a breakfast sandwich: meat (sausage or bacon, though ham will do), on a hard roll with a swipe of mayo, salt, pepper, tomato, then fry an egg (preferably using the grease from the bacon if you have it; I keep some in a can near the stove like my grandma did) over medium, putting the cheese on top after I flip the egg and covering the pan so the cheese melts. I don't over cook the egg, because I want some of that yolk to drip out over the rest of the sandwich. There's nothing "green" in or on my breakfast sandwiches.
-
When I was little my mom knew I hated celery and substituted lettuce mixed in my tuna. The sacrifices moms make for their children.

If the subject is sandwiches a normal person could make on their own, I'm going with roast beef and cheddar heated in the oven, with horseradish mayo. Smoked turkey will do in a pinch. Anytime I've got BBQ leftover from lunch that goes into a sandwich. The nice thing about that is that it doesn't matter what you've got leftover. It all works great. And if there's leftover coleslaw that makes a fine addition.
If we're talking about best all-around sandwiches, a place up here does a shaved ribeye with blue cheese and caramelized onions that's a dame fine piece of work. A taqueria I used to hit up a lot has a giant torta with ham, milanesa, and chorizo (along with the typical torta fixins) that probably topped my list. All the better because they dice up the ham and saute it with the onions and jalapenos.
-
The tomato sandwich is elegant and wonderful in its simplicity.

I'm with ya on this...... except the turkey. Turkey is just lame unless it's a whole turkey..........:metal
-
I usually don't buy roast beef for whatever reason, I guess for cold cuts I'm usually a turkey guy, but that sandwich pretty much sounds like arbys which makes me want to try something like that out at home.

Ok, Bill... you dug yourself out of a whole on the egg SALAD sammich having celery. I'm down with that. Tuna salad ... not so much. Tuna Melt is the only way to go with tuna (along with a hard boiled egg mixed in as well).
-
We use dill relish a dab of mayo, a small amount of mustard and pepper when making tuna fish.
-
Top 4 Sandwiches for me:
1. Reuben - traditional style but will occasionally sub turkey pastrami.
2. Thin sliced roast beef (a lot) on dark rye spread with cream cheese, red onion, tomato, and cucumber slices and a dab of French's yellow mustard.
3. French Dip - just sliced roast beef on french roll and au jus. Simple and easy.
4. BLTA (yes, mashed avocado occasionally substitutes for the mayo) on white, non-toasted bread
******
I don't mind a good egg salad but along with the finely chopped celery, I'd like some finely chopped dill pickle too and maybe some chopped green onion. *chef's kiss*
-
All this talk is making me want a BLT, I have all the goods at home to make one for dinner. Was going to grill some burgers but maybe I'll pivot.

Turkey sucks. Unless it's smoked, then it's pretty good. The whole turkey, a la Thanksgiving, is a waste of table space.

I love turkey, probably my go to deli meat and I'm a big fan of a thanksgiving turkey too :biggrin:

I love the idea of reubens, but rye bread is one of the most evil things ever created. I'm not sure, but I think Hitler may have been involved.

And I also hate rye bread, I'll enjoy a reuben but it can't be on rye. Same with pastrami.

Pumpernickel is my go to.

I'm rarely surprised these days, but this did it. Wow.
I grew up with fresh rye bread baked at Ann's Bakery sliced on one of those things that look like a medieval torture device; couple slabs of butter, and I'm good to go. It does make for shitty toast, though.

I'm pretty much a strictly whitebread kind of guy. I love bread, I probably go through 4 baguettes a week, but if it's not regular flour and maybe yeast, I'm probably out. If cornbread actually qualifies as bread that would be an exception, I suppose.
-
I'd probably give up all other bread for dark rye. And rye bread toast? YUM. I mean, it isn't good with jam but that's what biscuits are for! Hey this reminds me, during the bread making craze I bought some rye flour to try to make a loaf from scratch and completely forgot about it. LoL. Ooops. :justjen
And I hate cornbread. I cannot think of one thing I'd want cornbread to be a part of.
-

Butter, melted. That's it :lol I don't mind cornbread but it's definitely not a "bread" I eat with anything besides itself, and if so, it's likely at a Boston Market or something.
-
Cornbread buttered then grilled is amazing. Also great with chilly.

I had to spend the day in Madera last month, and had to go hunt for lunch near the Courthouse. There wasn't as much food around as in other towns I normally spend time in, so I asked one of the bailiffs for a recommendation, and he suggested a Mexican carniceria that has a lunch counter around the corner. When I got there and saw a line almost to the door, and none of the people behind the counter appeared to speak English, I figured I was in a very, VERY happy place. Got a carne asada torta that was out of this world. And the thing was HUGE. Ate it on a park bench where I was hunched over almost horizontally to avoid getting any on my clothes. I could have been Guy Fieri, because I lost count of how many times I involuntarily utters the phrases "legit!" and "out of bounds!"

At first I was going to jump on this, but then I realized I kinda feel the same way. The turkey sandwich for lunch the next day is miles better than the turkey on the plate for Thanksgiving dinner.
Ruebens are awesome, cannot recall the last time I had one. Will rectify that at the next possible opportunity.
I was very late to the party when it comes to corn bread. Not sure what changed my mind.
-
The turkey thing is weird to me. I love turkey on Thanksgiving but I hate left over turkey unless it is heated. There is something about cold turkey that tastes weird to me. Now a hot turkey open faced sandwich on white bread covered in gravy and a side of homemade cranberry compote (not that shit in a can cranberry sauce) and now you're talking turkey. :laugh:
-
Wet bread is disgusting

Corn bread is alright but it isn't as amazing as people in north carolina make it out to be. It's usually dry and flakey.
-
Leftover Thanksgiving turkey is best experienced in a Thanksgiving sandwich the next day (don't forget the moistmaker).
-
The important distinction is that roasted turkey sucks. Smoked turkey, ideally mesquite, is great. I'd consider an exception for fried turkey. The one time somebody brought one over I thought it was pretty good, certainly better than plane ole roasted turkey, but nothing mindblowing. Moreover, the fact that we even need to know what the moist-maker was, and it sounds disgusting, BTW, is proof enough that roasted turkey sucks for pretty much everything.

Some cornbread is great. Some isn't. Just like anything else. I don't have any particularly preference for how it should be. I just like some and don't like others. That said, speaking of turkey, cornbread stuffing is great. It's a fine accompaniment to chili and a variety of other soups/stews. Hushpuppies make the world a better place. Cornbread definitely has its applications.

I mentioned Boston Market because I worked at one in high school, but the stuffing was made from leftover corn bread there (although their stuffing was never that good IMO, but not due to the breading)

I never thought Boston Market was all that good honestly. Not matter what I get it always leaves me unimpressed. There were a couple of sides I liked, but nothing that couldn't be found better elsewhere. As for their cornbread, they should probably just call it a muffin for all the sugar they put in it. For what it is it's just fine, but it sure seems like it'd be far too sweet to turn into stuffing.

I LOVE leftover turkey, but the reality is, it's really a vehicle for everytihng else. I would never eat a sandwich that is bread, turkey, and condiment, though I certainly would if it's good roast beef, for instance. My wife gets these pita things, they look like a figure 8 and I'll put some ham, cheese and a splash of mustard on for a quick sandwich. I would never do that with turkey.
Though I too like the fried turkey; we've done that the last few T-Givings, and it's a winner. Friggin' mess, though.

There's nothing special about Boston Market really. However, on the topic of sandwiches, I do think their turkey, chicken, and meatloaf sandwiches are all really good. Apparently they have a fried chicken sandwich now to compete with the popeyes/chick fil a's of the world, haven't tried it though.
But I almost never see meatloaf sandwiches on the menu at restaurants. So when I do go to Boston Market, I often get that and I really like it.

What the hell is a moist-maker?

I can't remember the actual definition of it, but I do know where I first heard of the term.

Count me in for the fried turkey vote. Hell, I'll even eat the breast meat which is usually dry on a traditionally cooked bird but fried? - OMG :hefdaddy
-
I first tried Boston Market in the Minneapolis area during the summer of '95. For a counter service chain, I thought it was simply outstanding. I ate there several times during that summer. A few years later, they eventually came to California. I tried several, and thought the quality had declined substantially from what I remembered.

It's fairly inconsistent from store to store from my experience. And I think the quality has also gone down generally in the years since I worked there (over 15 years ago now).

Damn, you must've had some shitty assed roast turkey in your life. I mean I'll take smoked over it as well, but I've had some really, really good roasted ones. Someday try a dark meat roulade confit in duck fat, it'll put anything else to shame.

I've had some very good roast turkey. I'd just say that in the pantheon of meats turkey is definitely going to be among the minor players. Not even Vesta or one of the lesser known Olympians. We're talking Hekate or Rhea here. Seriously, does Turkey even crack your top 12 meats? Top 20? And while it certainly has its applications, many wonderful, roasting is probably the third or fourth best way to prepare an already disadvantaged protein.

You severely underestimate my passion/love for a turkey sandwich. It'd definitely have a spot on my Mt Rushmore of casual foods right next to street tacos, cheese pizza and ice cream. Top twelve meats? It'd be in the top 5 probably...
1- Dungeness crab
2- Alaskan Halibut
3- Lamb
4- Beef (must be good choice or higher at least)
5- Turkey
5 (tie)- Pork
7- Lobster
8- Chicken
9- Venison
10- The rest of the fish except salmon, don't like salmon at all
11- Prawns
12- Clams and other bivalves
That's off the top of my head don't flame me if I forgot something.
-
That's a mighty fine list. For me, I think my recent experience with duck would make me have to include it on a list like that. I have a couple of friends who duck hunt regularly, and one of them regularly shares with us. His wife doesn't really like it very much (or, should I say, didn't), which worked to my advantage. I can't say I like every duck preparation I've ever had. But my wife does a pan sear in a cast iron pan at high heat, with red wine and bleu cheese sauce, and it is out of this world (very short sear at high heat, so you get a NICE hard sear on the outside, but inside is still rare). She let my friend and his wife try it, and now she loves it. :lol
Anyhow, again, nice list. Of all of those things, I would probably put turkey down near the bottom of that. But that said, when prepared well, I really, REALLY enjoy it.
-
Bloody hell I forgot all about crab melts! :facepalm:
-
1. Hamburgers
2. Turkey
3. Chicken
4. Bacon
5. Beef Tenderloin (thinly cut on a nice roll smothered in Hellman's mayo)
-
Bloody hell I forgot all about crab melts! :facepalm:
My brothers old restaurant used to do hot dungeness crab rolls with melted cheese on brioche. Omfg best ever.
@bosk- good call in duck, I'd amend my list but I'm too lazy, but a proper duck breast or cofit leg is bomb for sure.
-
Guys! Talk more about sandwiches!
BTW, it's hard to top a classic Reuben.

What's your go to cheese and bread then?

I love a good simple grilled cheese with cheddar and maybe some Munster as well. I also love stuffing them with good crisp fries. I don’t need anything fancy.
-
I hardly eat grilled cheese, but I havent experimented much. White bread and cheddar with butter.

Shredded cheddar on the inside, AND outside of a grilled cheese sammy. The older, the better.

The only time I do a grilled cheese sandwich is when I have leftover ham, so I don't guess that counts. In my case grueyere or baby swiss are usually the ticket.
-
There's a local pub that used to serve one of the best grilled cheese I've ever had. For the life of me, I can't recall what cheese they used. But it was on Texas toast, and in addition to the cheese (which was fantastic), it had thick cut sriracha candied bacon and grilled hatch chile pepper, caramelized onions, and thin slice of tomato.
I'm all in favor of going fancy with grilled cheese. But I'm also fine with the basic as well.
EDIT: Just found an old menu online, and it said they used brioche instead of Texas toast, so I may have been wrong about the bread. But I do remember it was sliced pretty thick, but still toasted well. They also said they used mozarella and cheddar, and while I do recall it being a mixture of cheeses, I seem to recall there being more of a tangy cheese as well.
-
Who gets fancy with their grilled cheese at home? Bacon? Apples? What cheeses? What is your go to bread?
Me: Ham and tomato, with just a smidge of brown mustard on mine. I usually use American, but I'm open to suggestions. Butter or a very very thin coat of mayo on the outside, and I may drop a dollop of bacon grease in the pan if I'm feeling naughty.
-
Semantics... but if you have ham on a grilled cheese, isn't it just a ham and cheese sandwich now? Or ham and cheese "melt"
I feel like once you add meat to a grilled cheese, it's no longer a grilled cheese but a hot/toasted/melt sandwich.
And of course there's nothing wrong with that, a ham and cheese melt is fantastic. Same with turkey and cheese. Or roast beef and cheese. Generally, I like hot food better than cold so hot sandwiches are something I really enjoy, which is probably why I used to love Quiznos so much.
-
a good turkey club 3 slices of toast ( whole wheat preferably), bacon ( of course lol ) lettuce tomato and mayo a dash of salt maybe... a side of fries or potato chips all set
-
To an extent, yeah, it is just semantics. But I guess if the "star" of the show is tons of melted cheese, and there is a small amount of meat added, I would still consider it a grilled cheese. Whereas, if it is a meat sandwich with a slice of cheese, I would consider that a "[meat] and cheese."
-
I think it might be, because it's a common side to a sandwich, but is this the place to ask "what cheese do you prefer in your macaroni and cheese?"
I'm sort of searching for that "next level" flavor in mac-n-cheese. And yes, I'm a heathen there too; I will often include ground beef, panchetta or prosciutto in my mac-n-cheese.

I first tried Boston Market in the Minneapolis area during the summer of '95. For a counter service chain, I thought it was simply outstanding. I ate there several times during that summer. A few years later, they eventually came to California. I tried several, and thought the quality had declined substantially from what I remembered.
about 10 years ago I would have their pot pies once in while was not bad at all

Nothing wrong with adding some meat like the ones you suggested, or some crumbled bacon.
As for cheese, I typically make mine with a primarily cheddar sauce, with some asiago added. On top before popping it into the oven, I will do a layer of American cheese (for a hint of that "traditional" mac & cheese flavor), followed by a layer of panko and more grated cheddar.

I agree. That's why I said my ham and cheese probably didn't count. And if I'm going to grill a ham and cheese there's going to be plenty of both on there. It won't be predominantly one or the other.

I take an odd approach to my mac and cheese. I'll use a variety of different cheeses and just a basic bechamel to bring it all together. There's enough cheese in there so you never get a bite that's just plain sauce, and you never really know which cheese you're going to get from bite to bite. Ideally I want people to get a bit of cheddar here, Asiago there, maybe pepper jack over in that corner, etc.
Also, when it comes to mac and cheese, Trader Joes is your friend. If you need four different good quality cheeses at bargain prices, it's your best bet.
-
I've never really made my own home made mac and cheese....
but the pre-made costco tray is bangin. It's actually too good so I can't buy it or I'll give myself a stomach ache.

Actually, the best trick to kick up the Mac n cheese game I've found is roasted garlic puree and some chopped rosemary. For the cheese I use a sharp white cheddar and parmesan

Lonestar - that description of your brother's crab melt gave me a Homer. :lol
Maybe we need a cheese thread?
FTW - the best way to dress up mac-n-cheese (aside from using at least 3 different cheeses) is some diced green chilies. Mild, medium, or hot - your call. DELISH
And I find it a little bit strange that so far (unless I missed it) nobody has mentioned croque monsieur or a good old Italian meatball sub. Or even a meatloaf sandwich. Done right, these can all be be gastronomical. :hefdaddy

Don't hate me but my favorite Mac and Cheese is Kraft out of the box and my favorite cheese for grilled cheese is processed cheese. Yep - the singles in plastic.

I did mention grilled ham and gruyere, which pretty much is the croque monsieur. Probably second place for my favorite sandwiches behind the roast beef and cheddar, and that may change any given day. Also, meatloaf sandwiches came into play when we were discussing Boston Market. Not something I'd go out of my way for, but I certainly won't turn my nose up at one. As for the meatball sandwich, if I'm going Italian I'm going with Italian roast beef with provolone and giardinera. Or, Italian sausage with the same.

I always found that Parmesan takes up too much of the flavor. It's a fine line between mac and cheese and Alfredo, and pretty easy to inadvertently cross. I suppose that's why I always include Asiago in mine. It's a perfect blend of the two, I think.

As an italian, I do love a good meatball sandwich. Sadly my grandma's secret to perfect meatballs has not been passed onto the next generation. My mother could never come close to replicating it and no one has a recipe.
And if we are going to dig into more Italian sandwiches, one of my personal favorites is fried eggplant. Either as an eggplant parm or fried eggplant with mozz, roasted red peppers, and some balsamic. Actually made this recently:

Especially right off the pan when it's still hot. I eat that shit right up. Made a whole eggplant for myself and it didn't last long between the fresh ones I ate, the sandwiches I made, and then the rest went into a parm.

OK that looks good. But honestly, I'd probably 86 the bread. Open face that sandwich using the fried eggplant as the base. I might actually have to work on this....
I'm also seriously considering doing an entire week of sandwiches for the family using this thread as inspiration. :laugh:

My favorite eggplant plate is from a text mex restaurant in Cambridge Ma. It's called Egplant Royale. Here's the description.

A bubbling-hot blend of cheeses, lump crabmeat and cajun spices, served over a delicately fried eggplant. this is a creole family tradition as served on royale street in new orleans' french quarter."

There's plenty of things that look great, but there's no way in hell I'd eat it, and that sandwich qualifies for both.

I really really really like the fresh baguettes from Lidl so that bread, to me, is fantastic, but open faced might not be bad at all. I usually do the same sandwich open faced when I don't have eggplant.

That place 2 doors down from the Sinclair? What you're describing has zero to do with Text-Mex, never gonna happen, but their menu was half Text-Mex and half Cajun (weird combination), so I could see it happening there. I ate their before meeting up with you, Rumborak, and the Queen. Cute Aussie bartender, and the shredded beef they put in the quesadilla was killer. My hunch is that they used chuck from their chili and shredded that.
edit: Holy shit, I nailed it! I rule! :metal
Sadly, it looks like the place closed down permanently. The plague roughed them up pretty bad, and a fire finished them off.

@barto,the parm is mostly for consistency, the white cheddar and roasted garlic drown out the flavor, but since the parm is aged and less oily, it lends itself to the sauce better. A dry jack would have the same effect.

Haven't heard of 'em. But that may be just because I haven't been looking. I don't generally go out for sandwiches at home. And when I'm at work, my regular stop is a mom & pop deli around the corner from my office (who I'm surprised is able to stay in business after having all the windows smashed out and inventory stolen during the "peaceful protests").
EDIT: Looks like there is one downtown. It isn't close to where I work, but close enough to get to. What's good there?

The menu's massive, and varies from location to location. My personal preference at the Walnut Creek one is the Steve Mariucci.. A meatball sub with mozzarella sticks. They're stuff is beyond killer, a bit pricey but well executed.

Yup, there's a sandwich I always get when I work in LA at a local to my work BBQ joint. It's BBQ pulled pork with cole slaw and cheese on a bun, SOO good. Definitely a sandwich in my mind. And unless I'm misunderstanding, cutting a sandwich in half is fairly normal.

This was a small corner shop (at least at the time I went) called Zunzi's in Savannah GA and the line was very long but worth it. It was a chicken sandwich or some kind, the sauce was to die for.

I think the only real debate about "is it or isn't it" is for hot dogs and/or hamburgers. There is a place here in CT - Louie's Lunch in New Haven that sells their hamburgers on white bread, and that to me IS a sandwich. I would call roast beef or tuna on a hard roll a sandwich, so not sure why a burger wouldn't be too. (A burger is just a specific type of sandwich, like a square is a specific type of rectangle.)
But a hot dog?

The best explanation I've heard as to why a hotdog is not a sandwich is that it's a hotdog. It's already a well-defined item. That said, if you can't call a hotdog a sandwich, then you can't call the crap that Subway sells a sandwich, as it's essentially the same construction.

Why would you not put ketchup on a hot dog?
As for whether it is a sandwich, I would pose the question: if you were tasked with making a sausage sandwich, how would you make it differently to a hot dog?

Sausage I'd put on a nice roll, not the same hotdog bun. Also both would go with mustard, not ketchup for me.
But generally, I feel like a hot dog and burger or like sub genres of a sandwich.

Why would you not put ketchup on a hot dog?
Why would somebody care what anybody puts on their hotdog? I never got that either. Put toxic waste on if if that's what you like. Ain't none of my business how you dress your dog.
As for whether it is a sandwich, I would pose the question: if you were tasked with making a sausage sandwich, how would you make it differently to a hot dog?
I slice the sausage lengthwise and put the two halves face down on a hogie. On top of that sauteed onions/peppers/shrooms, and then a generous slice of provolone on top so that once it goes in the oven the cheese will lock it all into place.
edit: that's for an Italian sausage, of course. Brats typically just get the hotdog treatment.

It's a stupid gatekeeping purists thing, like pineapple on pizza. I think it started as a heavy handed joke in our kitchen and just grew from there. I should say in our defense that chefs are collectively immature and stupid at their core.

Your example actually had a sound basis, though. You're selling people stupidly expensive meat and they're ruining it. If somebody orders up grade N wagyu and then drowns it in A1 you're going to be understandably offended. I get that. Not to mention your own vested interest in its quality as the person who prepared it. It's just the random "it's an abomination" people I don't get.
-
As with all things, I think there's a middle ground. At risk of channeling Stadler, I think it's a "tend your own garden" issue. I'm with you, Barto, in that what someone chooses to dress their food with is none of my business. Why should I care? That said, if you ask my opinion of what goes on a hot dog, I won't hesitate to say that ketchup on a hotdog is an unholy pairing. But if that's how you like it, go for it.

I think Bart has it right all around. Comparing a hot dog with wagu beef isn't really apples to apples, at least to me. My son's wife puts A1 on all her meat, whether it's a $60 slab of filet mignon, or a salisbury steak from a package. For her the meat is just a vehicle, so the nuance of that $60 is lost on her (and she'll admit that). For me, anything more than a flank steak is something I'm going to eat to taste the meat itself. Salt, pepper, MAYBE a pat of butter. Everything else goes on the side.
Same with the sausage sammich. The Big E - a local two-week fair/festival up here every September - has a couple food trucks that do a fantastic sausage sandwich and that's how the better ones do. Slice, pile, melt and serve.
And I'm not going to lie; I giggle like Beavis every time I write about someone doing something with their meat.

And I'm not going to lie; I giggle like Beavis every time I write about someone doing something with their meat.
But it was a 1lb wagyu hot dog....

I missed that point; what is that? Is that basically ground up wagu beef in a casing? Is it any good?

Yes, and oh hell yeah....

Ground wagyu sounds like an absolute waste of money to me (if it was actually Wagyu, which is doubtful).

I had aged wagyu meatloaf once and I thought I went to heaven.

It's a proper use of scrap, and keep in mind, not all wagyu is 100$/lb Japanese A5, I can score American ground wagyu for below 10.
And it absolutely was wagyu, our purveyors would get in really deep shit for lying about stuff like that. They wouldn't chance their licenses on it.

I'm sorry if I'm using the wrong terminology, but is it cut or mixed with anything? Sausages are notoriously fatty, both for flavor and I guess consistency. Does the ground wagyu have to be mixed with anything as a binder or to keep it from getting dry?

It'd be mixed with the wagyu fat, though with wagyu the ratio would probably be lower than the traditional 70/30 mix since the beef itself is so fatty. Granted I'm just guessing, I've never done it myself, but I know sausage needs at least a 30% fat ratio to bind and avoid being mealy
