Hummm I voted yes because it was a bread and had filling. I can see the point that honestly it isn't a sandwich like a normal sandwich shop would sell though. Interesting.

I would define a sandwich as meat or something else placed between two slices of bread. When we start finding the tortilla loaf and slicing it down then I will classify a burrito as a sandwich, until then its just tasty.

from the story:

"The difference, the judge ruled, comes down to two slices of bread versus one tortilla".

See, then I have to disagree and say it IS a sandwich. Is a "hoagie" a sandwich? I think so. Is a Philly cheesesteak a sandwich? I think so. They don't use 2 slices of bread; they use a roll. What about "croissandwiches"? How about sandwiches on a panini?

I thinks Panera is "technically correct", but wrong in what is "fair and ethical".

I put 'no' before the read the article, because I don't think of a burrito as a sandwich. I have no idea why. Never even crossed my mind.

BTW, while "technically" not in the same shopping center, Panaera and Qdoba both are on ground owned by the same guy where I live, and while they are separated by a street, it "feels" like part of the same shopping center. So, I guess the 2 companies are always battling it out.

I disagree. A hoagie is so-called because it isn't really a sandwich...but it is a lot closer than a burrito. Burritos aren't even close to a sandwich.

If the word sandwich can't be added to the end, it isn't one.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Baloney sandwich.

Ham sandwich.

Chicken sandwich.

Roast beef sandwich.

Burrito sandwich - NOPE!

Philly cheesteak sandwich - nah. Close, but no.
