A Hot Dog Is a Sandwich

Mythical

Is a hot dog a sandwich? It is the age-old culinary conundrum that gives this podcast its name, but for hosts Josh Scherer and Nicole Enayati, that is only the beginning of the journey. A Hot Dog Is a Sandwich is a deep dive into the fascinating, often chaotic, and always delicious world of food culture. Whether they are dissecting the nuances of fast-food value menus, conducting rigorous blind taste tests on common pantry staples like peanut butter and cheese, or ranking the wildest celebrity-endorsed recipes, Josh and Nicole bring a refreshing mix of professional culinary insight and irreverent humor to every episode. The show excels at taking the mundane parts of our diet—like the fries you grab at the drive-thru or the jar of salsa in your fridge—and elevating them into a meditative exploration of flavor, history, and consumer psychology. You will find yourself laughing along as they debate the merits of convenience versus quality and untangle the strange impact of social media trends on our collective palate. It is a show for anyone who has ever spent too much time thinking about the structure of a sandwich or why we find certain food combinations so comforting. Join them as they peel back the layers of our food system, one crispy, salty, and often messy episode at a time.
