The bread is often from scratch, as is the corned beef.<\/p> <p><strong>What is one difference between American sandwiches and sandwiches made abroad?<\/strong><\/p> <p>Type of bread primarily: loaf-sliced vs. stone-oven flatbread, for example, as well as the type of meat and\/or vegetables added. The seasonings vary, of course, as well. Think American vs. Indian vs Vietnamese.<\/p> <p><strong>What is one unconventional ingredient or condiment you\u2019d recommend to those who want to amp up their sandwich game? <\/strong><\/p> <p>Increasingly, even chain sandwich shops have more options in this regard, but in my opinion, it would be pickled or fermented, east-Asian variety vegetables, known as Pao Cai (\u6ce1\u83dc) in China.<\/p> <p><strong>In your opinion, is a hot dog a sandwich? Why or why not? <\/strong><\/p> <p>Yes \u2013\u2013 and based on the USDA and Merriam-Webster&#8217;s dictionary, a hot dog meets the definition of a &#8220;sandwich,\u201d which is, meat or other food &#8220;sandwiched&#8221; in between two pieces of bread or wrapped in a split baked product.<\/p>             <\/div>            <\/div>          <\/div>              <\/div> <\/div>   <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"methodology\"><span id=\"behind-the-ranking\">Behind the ranking<\/span><\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For each of the 200 biggest U.S. cities, we gathered publicly available data on the factors listed in the table below.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We then grouped those factors into three categories: Access, Quality, and Interest.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, we calculated weighted scores for each city in each category.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, we averaged the scores for each city across all categories.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city that earned the highest average score was ranked \u201cBest\u201d (No. 1), while the city with the lowest was ranked \u201cWorst\u201d (No. 200).
