Guest host Kousha Navidar, comedian and sandwich philosopher Josh Gondelman, along with our listeners, dove into the thorny debate by asking: Is a hot dog a sandwich?
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.Legend has it that in mid-18th Century England, the Earl of Sandwich was such a heavy gambler, he didn’t want to leave the card table for meals, so he ordered a servant to bring him some roast beef between two slices of bread.But almost 300 years later, the question of what defines a sandwich continues to flummox chefs, foodies, philosophers and world leaders.
Matt, thank you so much for that opinion. It sounds like it was earned through a lot of research. Josh, I would like to know, is a carbohydrate napkin what truly makes a sandwich?That is probably one of the most fascinating definitions of bread that I've ever heard. I would be lying if I said I've never used it that way, but if you were to say, "Define bread to me," I wouldn't say edible carbohydrate napkin, although this is kind of blowing my mind open right now.
I think common usage would not envelop all these different food stuffs under that definition, except for legally. I do not bow to theJosh, I'm so happy that you brought up legality because our team has been trying to get a response from the government about this question, and we reached out to the New York State Tax Department and their spokesperson, Ryan Cleveland, just got back to us with this. It readsWe get this inquiry fairly often.
These rules regarding prepared food items have been in place unchanged since the early 1960s when state sales tax was first implemented.I mean, that feels incredibly fair, but I don't think it gets to the heart of this debate that we're having, like what's eliciting this passion from our listeners, but I do think it is a good starting point.
Is John Travolta eating a sandwich in the opening scene of 'Stayin' Alive' when he piles one pizza slice on top of another? Where do we draw the line? It sounds like you're going back to that idea of what's the spirit of the hotdog? Let's go to Brant on line 2As much as you want to discuss the intricacies of the definition of a sandwich, if you were telling your friend a story and you said, “I had a sandwich for lunch,” and then later they found out it was a hot dog, they would think that you were either lying or insane. Because no one pictures a hot dog when they hear the word sandwich.
