"We deeply regret the errors" Is a hot dog a sandwich? Louisville, Kentucky newspaper The Courier-Journaltook an official stand last week in a wonderfully thorough, archive-diving correction that declared, per its house style anyway, that previous declarations of a hot dog?s sandwichhood were erroneous: We're deadly serious about accuracy at @courierjournal. pic.twitter.com/t3xDKVcWRq? Joel Christopher (@j_christo) July 20, 2017 And of course, people reactedappropriately, re-igniting this never-ending culinary debate. During a home game at Chase Field, the Arizona Diamondbacks had its players weigh in: @JWerthsBeard Dbacks just did a "is a hot dog a sandwich?" poll of their team on the big screen. Final tally was 10 ** and 4 yes. pic.twitter.com/p430NTxlI4? Kevin (@natscapsfan42) July 23, 2017 I went to a baseball game today and they showed a video where they asked the players if a hot dog is a sandwich. this is out of control.? Stangle's Kid (@lisasaurstomp) July 24, 2017 Eric Mittenthal, the president of the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council (and owner of a pretty strong Twitter handle) apparently went on vacation but did anticipate all sorts of future questions: Out of ****** **w on with this included: If you are emailing to ask if a hot dog is a sandwich, the answer is ** https://t.co/NzvRMjdFN4? Eric Mittenthal (@MeatVP) July 21, 2017 Elsewhere, things got a little heated: My coworker told me that he had the "is a hot dog a sandwich" conversation while on a fishing trip and the arguing brought someone to tears? broccoli rob (@turnip_tops) July 24, 2017 And the original hot dog correction Tweeter, Courier-Journal executive editor Joel Christopher, even scored some free hot dogs out of the deal: Special delivery of 50 hot dogs from @Home_Run_Burger from a**nymous fan who k**ws a hot dog isn't a sandwich. pic.twitter.com/xgkoZZozAG? Joel Christopher (@j_christo) July 21, 2017 In its correction, the Courier-Journal?s reference to a ?frankfurter sandwich with catchup? being the ?most egregious? hot dog descriptor might be particularly heartening to Chicago residents trolled last week for their distain of the condiment ? though Courier-Journal, regarding the house spelling of ?catsup,? we might have to talk.
