    No. It’s in the subcategory of bread based meals like sandwiches and pizza, scones, etc. The topology is different. Sandwiches are built with layers. Hot dogs have a bread cup/container with extra condiments wedged on top.

    Hot dogs also require a sausage. Sandwiches are agnostic to sausages.

      Subs here split a length of baguette or Cuban bread, or long bun. But not all the way through. Then they open it like a hot dog bun & put in the fillings. I hate hot dogs but if a sub is a sandwich, a hot dog is a sandwich.

          I’m not sure that’s a valid analogy. Losing an entire wheel would be more akin to losing one half of the bun.

          The bun has lost nothing so material. The closest bike analogy might be a snapped brake or gear line, but even that might be too much, because the break in the hotdog does not significantly increase its danger level.
