    There's at least a few threads on this topic.

    The correct answer is if it is a dog on a bun - of course it's a sandwich.

    Hell yes! After many years of searching I finally found a terrific brand of natural casing wieners. Those crappy big name wieners are probably why your friends don’t appreciate hot dogs!  Without ever slicing open the casings so as to seal in the tasty meat juices then I add my version of The Varsity Club (killer) chili dog sauce and diced onions.

    It's meat between bread, so a sandwhich.  There are all kinds of sandwhiches with different shaped bread, so why not?

    Wrong on both fronts. Die Hard is definitely a Christmas movie, one of the only action Christmas movies there are.

    Okay. Now what are acceptable toppings/condiments for hotdogs?

    If an ice cream sandwich qualifies then I’m all for the hotdog making the cut.

    This right here is one of the best things I’ve seen on this topic.  Really makes you think about what is and what is not a sandwich, and why.

    Basically, a hot dog is the Switzerlands of sandwiches.  I’m not sure how I feel about this...

    As many as you can to cover the taste of the hotdog wishing it was a bratwurst.

    By itself, it is a sausage. 

    You did not specify whether it was in a bun.

    Therefore, answer D, not enough information

    @RRP, you get this wrong every time. =) It's not The Varsity Club, it's just The Varsity. An Atlanta institution for a gazillion years. "What'll ya have?" (I feel like the soup nazi!)

    So what is this terrific brand of natural casing dogs you are talking about? I like Pearls, but they're kind of a pain to get.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    RRP is speaking specifically about a private club in which we both are members. We do not typically publicize it, but The Varsity Club is a Harvard institution dating back to 1783.  Restricted to 100 members at any one time, it holds dinners the evening before every Harvard-Yale game. The dinners feature a chili topping on foot long steamers. 

    The sauce was copied by The Varsity, which was named after the club.

    My kids and myself disagree. We like ketchup on hotdog and hamburger sandwiches.

    I was going to guess that varsity club was the name of Ron’s barbershop quartet in college.

    You can safely ignore someone who is actually gatekeeping sandwiches.
