Now if a sub is considered a sandwich, then I guess that makes a hot dog a sandwich too
I would call it more of a sub ...... meat between bread that is cut on one side but not all the way through (aka a sub roll).
I love that movie so much.
Maybe it's a regional thing. And granted, I haven't been around forever, but never in my 44 years have I been served a sub with the roll cut all the way through.Only really shitty subs/hoagies/grinders are made without the loaf being cut all the way through. Nobody ever used to do that, until crappy companies like Subway came along.

You speak of “the truth” immediately after your obviously biased descriptions of each individual sandwich?The truth is in the flavors...
wads of meats, cheeses, etc
fold it over, smush it down
Valid points I'm sure. On the other hand, that format is probably worse for fillings like chicken salad or tuna salad, which might squish out the sides when you bite into it. And I think you need a roll intact on one side for one of the most popular subs - the steak and cheese.It might be. But we all know grinder/frappe/quahog country is a little weird on the food side of things. It makes you wonder how the wonderful North End of Boston ever came into being...
All I can say is: try it for yourself. Make two subs, with the same ingredients.
Make one Subway style, with wads of meats, cheeses, etc. stacked on the hinged loaf, then any toppings. Then fold it over, smush it down, and eat it.
Make the other sub with the meat and cheese slices laid out individually, evenly distributed over the bottom half of the loaf. Add/sprinkle the toppings, top with the top half of the loaf, and eat it.
