While one does not think of the hot dog as a sandwich, it does meet the criteria.

First, let us define the Sandwich:

sandwich
[sand-wich, san-]
noun
  1. two or more slices of bread or the like with a layer of meat, fish, cheese, etc., between each pair.
And the Hot Dog:

hot dog
[noun hot dawg; interjection hotdawg]
noun
  1. a frankfurter.
  2. a sandwich consisting of a frankfurter in a split roll, usually eaten with mustard, sauerkraut, or relish.
A Hot Dog is indeed a sandwich in every sense of the word.

  1. To qualify as “a sandwich,” a given food product must, structurally, consist of two (2) exterior pieces that are either separate or mostly separate;
  2. Those pieces must be primarily carbohydrate-based—so, made of bread or bread-like products;
  3. The whole assemblage must have a primarily horizontal orientation (so, sitting flush with a plate rather than perpendicular to it); and
  4. The whole assemblage must be fundamentally portable.
So. Under this definition, a burger is a sandwich. So is an ice cream sandwich. So is an Oreo. So is a grilled cheese.

Things that are not sandwiches, however, include the wrap (fails #1), the burrito (same), the taco (fails #3), the KFC Double Down (fails #2), the drastically misnamed open-faced “sandwich” (fails #1 and #4) … and, yes, the hot dog. Which—though it, like the taco, exists in a fuzzier taxonomic realm than its fellow foodstuffs—is primarily vertical in its orientation, thus failing test #3.

Thank you Wally. The man, the myth, the legend.

A Hot Dog Is Not a Sandwich
One could consume the classic sandwich in a horizontal position. It is still a sandwich. A hot dog is no different. Anyone who has suffered from "roll breakage " knows this. You rotate the sandwich to continue eating.
