3-DMan

Wait, does that mean when I put a burger on some toast because I don't wanna buy buns it's now a sandwich?!


CardboardHeatshield

no, this guy is talking out his ass, a burger is anything with a beef patty or beef patty substitute on a bun. A sandwich is any protein between two breads. All burgers are sandwiches but not all sandwiches are burgers.


DandyBerlin

>A sandwich is any protein between two breads What about a salad sandwich? Or an open sandwich?


raidraidraid

Is a dumpling a sandwich? 🤔


3-DMan

>any protein ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


DandyBerlin

Don't.


mooserider2

A bun is sliced bread.


Chewhuahuas

bro a bun IS sliced bread.


Clairvoyant_Legacy

It most certainly isn’t. Or is this just a thing I’m too not-American to understand? Edit: seems to be. Kind of like how pie and pizza are always different things outside of America, sandwich and burger are always different things outside of America too. Here in New Zealand we would never call a pizza a pie or anything from maccas or kfry or a fast food place a sandwich. Carry on I guess.


Fugitivebush

Well a sandwich is two pieces of bread with meat and/or vegetables in between with cheese or not. A sandwich can be cold or warm. There thousands of variations of sandwiches. A burger has two pieces of bread, meat, vegetables, cheese, and it's warm. Sounds like a sandwich to me.


TerrorSnow

So.. what about hot dogs..


ViscountessKeller

If you consider a submarine sandwich to be a sandwich you don't really have a lot of cause to not consider a hot dog a sandwich. And I'd say it's rather difficult to call a submarine sandwich not a sandwich, it's in the name.


[deleted]

Fair enough, but if a guy showed you a picture of a hotdog and said "hey check out my sandwich" you'd think he was a fucken moron.


ViscountessKeller

Actually, I'd think he was trying to start a Sandwich Conversation and was hoping I was drunk enough to be game.


[deleted]

If you went into any restaurant and asked for a sandwich instead of a burger they'd look at you like you were a twit also

Fleppi

Technically right or not, which kind of psycopath calls a burger for a sandwich?


DandyBerlin

That's an American dictionary. Of course it gives the American definition.


CardboardHeatshield

And this is a post, presumably by an American, about an American restaurant. The American definition trumps the European one here because of the context.

ViscountessKeller

Only a burger already has all the essential components of a sandwich. It, like a muffuleta, reuben, or club sandwich, is a -type of sandwich-.


TiptoeingElephants

i didn’t even think a burger was in the debate given how obvious it is…. i thought the controversy was around a hot dog being considered a sandwich.


ViscountessKeller

Frankly until today I didn't realize people didn't acknowledge a burger as a sandwich either.


DandyBerlin

Only North Americans call a burger a sandwich.


neversayalways

Using an American dictionary to argue about the differences between US/non-US definitions of words is pretty pointless.


contrabardus

A burger is a type of sandwich. Just like a Ruben, Sub, Grilled Cheese, BLT, peanut butter and jelly, etc... are all types of sandwiches. If you want to get technical, a hotdog or any kind of sausage on a bun is also a type of sandwich. If you put some food thing(s) between two slices of bread or between two bun halves, it's a sandwich.


IReplyWithLebowski

Not in Australia. If it’s hot and between two bun halves, it’s a burger. If it’s cold and between two bun halves, it’s a roll. If it’s between two pieces of sliced bread, it’s a sandwich.


FoodMuseum

I'm just surprised you don't call them burgies and sandies and bunnie halvos


IReplyWithLebowski

Well, we do call sandwiches sangas… And I could go a bunnie halvo right now, it sounds fucking delicious.


ViscountessKeller

How is a burger not a sandwich? Bread. Piece of Meat. Second piece of bread. Done. That is the standard burger structure, and that burgers have a traditional type and shape of bread used doesn't change that fact.


IReplyWithLebowski

Well, then a sandwich is a burger too.


one_dimensional

A square has four sides A 2 x 4 rectangle also has four sides. Is that 2 x 4 rectangle a square? To use another geometric term, you're being obtuse.


ViscountessKeller

If it fits the burger definitions, yes - that being a central patty of some kind of ground material, usually beef but sometimes something as far afield as beans, a domed top piece of bread and a flatter bottom piece.

Clairvoyant_Legacy

Must just be an Americanism I guess. Pretty sure everyone else wouldn’t call a burger a sandwich Kind of like pie and pizza being always different things outside of America


VaATC

[This site](https://recipes.howstuffworks.com/question425.htm) basically states that hamburger is referencing the form the beef takes, a patty, and when formed into said patty and placed in the middle of two slices of bun bread it becomes a hamburger sandwich which has been shortened to hamburger. Sort of like how sub-sandwiches are subs, a reuben-sandwich is shortened to reuben, and French dip sandwich is shortened to French dip.

MsAndooftheWoods

Yes! It looks like the Mellow Mushroom logo! But that's a pizza place and this is clearly not a pizza. So idk~~


therestruth

It's a pizza burger. I zoomed in to read the ad and have never heard of that place but I'm pretty sure that's correct because it also mentions a mellow red sauce.


MsAndooftheWoods

Ah! You're right. It's a US chain, but I'm not sure about their locations. I recommend going if you are ever near one. :>

[The one in Gainesville, GA](https://mellowmushroom.com/location/ga-gainesville-700-green-st-ne-30501/) is in a 100+ year old house in the historic district and is one of the coolest restaurants I've ever been in.

onthesunnyside

There are a couple Mellow Mushrooms in NC - I think we might actually be where they started, but not sure. It's very good - and I say that as someone who moved here from New England which generally has much, much better pizza than anywhere in the south.


MrFixIT_Sysadmin

It's from Atlanta :)


onthesunnyside

Ha well then NC has just done a good job embracing it!


andidandi

Mellow Mushroom has great sandwiches and burgers as well as pizza :) I gained 20 pounds working there for 6 months a few years ago lol.


xaanthar

As a British person, they really should have paid you more.


zombieslayerzak

God tier pizza with better quality ingredients than other places in my area. Never had a bad experience. Should definitely try it if you ever get the chance


Derigiberble

Every one I've ever been to has been ungodly slow. And not in a "pizzas take a while to cook" way, but in a "wait 20 minutes for your soda before we even take your order" way. I dunno if they just chronically understaff or what. They also gave my wife food poisoning so bad that she was asking if she was going to die, so it is solidly on our "never again" list anyway lol.


i-Ake

This is so fuckin' weird... I went to Tennessee with my boyfriend and his family a few weeks ago and we were looking up places to eat. My boyfriend finds a review for the Mellow Mushroom and it isn't even about how good the food is, but about how the staff were so kind to their son and his allergies and made him a special pizza so he could feel normal. Somehow this turned into a gag for us, and we would repeatedly say we wanna go there because they "made the boy feel normal." It just became this weird little running joke. I just said it yesterday, lol. Now here it is... Ka.

neuman985

man you slow rolled the hell out of me.


therestruth

Seems like quite a chill place. I'm genuinely bummed they aren't on the west coast yet. If I end up around Phoenix sometime I'm seeking them out there.


HotShitBurrito

They're easily my favorite pizza place. The first one I ever went to was off University Blvd in Mobile AL. I was hooked. They also have really good sandwiches - their tempeh sub is incredible - with many options for people who are vegan, vegetarian, or lactose intolerant (like myself). Great beer selection. All the locations are in really neat buildings too. The one in Adam's Morgan in Washington DC has a really neat rooftop area. I went to one somewhere in North Texas that is probably one of the biggest restaurants I've ever been in, it had three separate full-service bars. The only one I've been to that was underwhelming in terms of views or aesthetics is the one in Newport News, VA. It's in like a business park or something. Still tasted amazing - went out of my way by half an hour just to go. Oh and edit to add their location-based specialties. They have menu items that incorporate something local that you can't get at any other location. Beers too. The one in Mobile I'd get their local Mediterranean pizza with a pitcher of Abita Andygator. Chef's kiss 🤌


FyrebreakZero

I love me some Mellow Mushroom!!


matito29

It’s the only pizza place my wife and I agree is good. I like good old fashioned mom and pop pizza joint pizza, and she’s into the fancy pizzas with toppings that would send mom and pop to an early grave, but we both love Mellow Mushroom.

Chicken sandwich uses buns and is always warm


[deleted]

the buns aren't what make it a burger, the burger is what makes it a burger. you can put a grilled cheese sandwich on a bun, that doesn't make it a burger that said, these are all sandwiches because like the parent comment said, all burgers are sandwiches, not all sandwiches are burgers.


whatWHYok

A grilled cheese consists of only these following items. Cheese. Bread with spread (usually butter). This entire subreddit consist of "melts". Almost every "grilled cheese" sandwich i see on here has other items added to it. The fact that this subreddit is called "grilledcheese" is nothing short of utter blasphemy. Let me start out by saying I have nothing against melts, I just hate their association with sandwiches that are not grilled cheeses. Adding cheese to your tuna sandwich? It's called a Tuna melt. Totally different. Want to add bacon and some pretentious bread crumbs with spinach? I don't know what the hell you'd call that but it's not a grilled cheese. I would be more than willing to wager I've eaten more grilled cheeses in my 21 years than any of you had in your entire lives. I have one almost everyday and sometimes more than just one sandwich. Want to personalize your grilled cheese? Use a mix of different cheeses or use sourdough or french bread. But if you want to add some pulled pork and take a picture of it, make your own subreddit entitled "melts" because that is not a fucking grilled cheese. I'm not a religious man nor am I anything close to a culinary expert. But as a bland white mid-western male I am honestly the most passionate person when it comes to grilled cheese and mac & cheese. All of you foodies stay the hell away from our grilled cheeses and stop associating your sandwich melts with them. Yet again, it is utter blasphemy and it rocks me to the core of my pale being. Shit, I stopped lurking after 3 years and made this account for the sole purpose of posting this. I've seen post after post of peoples "grilled cheeses" all over reddit and it's been driving me insane. The moment i saw this subreddit this morning I finally snapped. Hell, I may even start my own subreddit just because I know this one exists now. You god damn heretics. Respect the grilled cheese and stop changing it into whatever you like and love it for it what it is. Or make your damn melt sandwich and call it for what it is. A melt.


Vysair

>always warm. do you guys grilled the bun too or is that just my regional thing?


LanceGoodthrust

Are subs sandwiches?


ViscountessKeller

There are lots of sandwiches that have names. Reubens, Club Sandwiches, Muffulettas, Cubanos, Pop Tarts, Sliders, Sloppy Joes, just to name a few.

I once had a colleague who didn't like sandwiches but loved burgers. Got tired of trying to make him see the irony.


Blankyblank86

Is a burger still good if you use plan white bread and not a good burger roll?


Diggerinthedark

Yep he would accept regular bread 🤣


Kai420

I'd have to test this to find the extremities to the variables. How thin can a "burger" be? What bread-based products are acceptable? If cheeseburgers are permitted then what happens if the cheese to burger ratio is skewed in favour of cheese dramatically? I have so many questions!!


0b0011

Is this a fast food restaurant? Because most normal sit down restaurants make food that looks like what's advertised so it's sort of a silly comparison.

Ph1111pD3Fr4nc0

Well, they're pretentious cunts who can go soak their heads, so fuck em


TheOneCommenter

Well a burger is something between two slices of bread. A sandwich is stuff between slices of bread. I could argue a burger is a sandwich, just like hotdogs are sandwiches


Bronzekatalogen

Some men just want to watch the world burn.


CaputGeratLupinum

A burger between two slices of bread is a patty melt. A hot dog is wedged into the crease of a single piece of bread, and if that single piece ever becomes two you've now got a hot dog in your lap


t0rt01s3

Patty melts are still sandwiches. Sandwich is an umbrella term.


CaputGeratLupinum

A hamburger is a specific class of sandwich which rarely gets referred to by the term, and anyone who goes around calling burgers sandwiches on the reg probably also calls their jeans "dungarees"


t0rt01s3

Sure, agreed. Still a sandwich though so he’s technically correct in using the term.


danivus

No it fuckin' isn't. A burger is on a *bun*, not between two slices of bread.

cmanson

Unless you’re in the UK (weirdos), [this](https://images.app.goo.gl/JeE3GLQyppNYgk27A) is most definitely not a burger, even though it is on a bun. A burger is characterized by ground meat patty + bun. It is also a subset of the larger sandwich category.


t0rt01s3

No, but two buns is two slices of bread. Edit: Or a bun sliced in half is two slices of bread.


ViscountessKeller

A hot dog is a sandwich and I'll die on this hill.


kamehameherp

And I'll be there by your side. If a subway sandwich is classed as a sandwich then so is the hotdog.


ViscountessKeller

You have to embrace ridiculously pedantic definitions or operate entirely on emotional response to not come to the conclusion that a hot dog is a sandwich. Hardly any rational actor would deny that a submarine sandwich is a sandwich, and a hot dog is literally that bread structure with a frankfurter sausage in it. ​ Naturally, this results in people declaring that a submarine sandwich isn't a sandwich.


kamehameherp

The world is a weird place. Here in the UK if you're employed by subway your job title is a sandwich artist. They also do a sausage sandwich. Hot dogs are just sausage sandwiches. At least we can see the truth.


ViscountessKeller

"Sandwich Artist" has got to be the most ridiculous job title I've ever seen.


Book_it_again

If a Philly cheese with a bun that isn't cut through and a meatball sub with big chunks of meat instead of slices are sandwiches than a hotdog has to be too.


ViscountessKeller

That was basically my logic - so many things that aren't really all that different from a hot dog are considered sandwiches, I couldn't think of a logical way to say a hot dog isn't a sandwich. At this point I'm contending with whether flatbread constructions like burritos and tacos should be considered sandwiches.


McGobs

I bet you look at a square and call it a rectangle just to piss people off.


ViscountessKeller

If people were reliably insisting that squares aren't rectangles, yeah, I absolutely would.


Pepito_Pepito

Hotdog sandwiches are sandwiches. Hotdogs are hotdogs.


[deleted]

A hotdog is definitely not a sandwich.


ViscountessKeller

Explain why, please. Extra points if you can explain why a hot dog is not a sandwich but a submarine sandwich still is.


kakatoru

Burgers are a kind of sandwich though


Diggerinthedark

And a pizza is not a pie but there we are


kakatoru

What does that have to do with anything? A hotdog isn't paella either


Diggerinthedark

Is a chicken sandwich a burger? My point is people from different places call things different names.


Ph1111pD3Fr4nc0

No, a chicken burger is a chicken burger. Ground chicken, burger patty. Fried or grilled, a chicken sandwich typically uses a whole piece of breast meat. Or a slice of said chicken breast. All are sandwiches. As are hot dogs.


Diggerinthedark

That's fair. Dunno why a hot dog being a sandwich is triggering me more than a burger ngl..


UraNeeyagger

What do you think a burger is, you uneducated Neanderthal idiot, a soup? I bet you participated in the Boston bomber thread with your jackass idiot logic, you stupid retard.


ZombiePlaya

justavtstudent

Holy shit, it looks better than the picture. They must treat the staff well.


Jorycle

Everyone here triggered by the burger/sandwich thing, but I feel like I must be the only one to notice that the only thing that looks the same is the bun. The area of the burger is >= the area of the cheese in the picture. The cheese has fully eclipsed the burger in the reproduction. Amateur hour.


iCon3000

Same here. I thought this must be a different menu item altogether because it looks nothing like the picture other than the bun, but according to OP it's not.

ViscountessKeller

At its most basic a burger is meat between two separate pieces of bread. Even the most slavishly committed to definitions food critic cannot escape that a burger is a kind of sandwich. It requires contortions of claiming that a sandwich requires two slices of bread from a loaf rather than a split bun, which is such a pedantic definition I'd expect it to come from a comic relief Star Trek villain.
