Definitely not. For it to be a sandwich, the pieces of bread have to be separate (two pieces). A hot dog bun or roll is a single piece of bread with a hole in it. If you tore your hot dog in two then put the sausage in then maybe.
OED
Sarnie:
An item of food consisting of TWO pieces of bread with a filling between them, eaten as a light meal.
Hot Dog:
A frankfurter, especially one served hot in a long, soft roll and topped with various condiments.
A hot dog (like a burger) is not what I consider a Sandwich. A sandwich as far as I am concerned is made with slices of bread but as a hot dog uses a bread roll its not a sandwich. However if you put all the 'filling' in to sliced bread then it becomes a sandwich

Feel free to add me but please send a message so I know where you know me from...
So where do we stand on Subway? Surely that is a similar principle to a hot dog roll, but is it classed as a sandwich. Then as BAM mentions - what about burgers? They're not sandwiches...or are they?
Personally I'm with the others here...a sandwich is TWO slices of bread with filling(s). Anything that starts as a whole and is sliced in half is not a sandwich.
Now I expect the whole debate about a non-sliced loaf. Is that just a bigger version of a bread roll?
...and what if you put hot dogs in between two slices of bread????
Brain frazzled...can't cope...off to lay down in a darkened room....
So I have one for you all. Last night I made a hot dog realized we didn't have buns so I sliced it and put it between two slices of bread. So that would make it a sandwhich.

this topic is going to result in a forum civil war.
But if you go into a cafe and order a bacon baguette, you get a bacon baguette. They don't bring you a bacon sandwich, neither do they call it a bacon sandwich
Often, it's even more limited, cheese with soft bread is normally sold as cheese sandwich. If it's made with crusty bread, a big chunk, it's sold as bread and cheese?
But then again.... Cafes will sell you an open sandwich which only has one slice of bread?....................
A 'sandwich' is defined as a food item consisting of one or more types of food placed on or between slices of bread, or more generally any dish wherein two or more pieces of bread serve as a container or wrapper for some other food.
In the United States, a court in Boston, Massachusetts ruled that "sandwich" includes at least two slices of bread. In the United Kingdom and Australia, the term "sandwich" is more narrowly defined than in the US: it refers only to an item which uses sliced bread from a loaf. An item with similar fillings, but using an entire bread roll cut horizontally in half, is always referred to as a "roll".
A Hot Dog and Burger are actually forms of a 'Roll'. Whilst Baguettes and Submarine rolls are incorrectly called 'sandwiches' because of the bread connection, they also have a variety of other names too - often based on the type of 'bread' roll used. In the UK for example a baguette sliced horizontally and filled would be called a 'Baguette', A subway isn't technically a 'sandwich' although it does sandwich a filling between either side of the roll in the same way some biscuits sandwich a cream filling between two biscuits...

Love that Boston has nothing better to do than go to court over buns
@mindtwang: I believe the issue stemmed from the question of whether a restaurant that sold burritos could move into a shopping centre where another restaurant had a 'no-compete' clause in its lease prohibiting other "sandwich" shops. It ended up in a Boston court who made that ruling...
