IMO this is an inferior sandwich. The slit in the bread should be the side of the sandwich, not the top

I’ve been saying this for a long time and often get downvoted. Someone please explain the logic behind a half cut sandwich. You can’t because there is none, yet people still defend it.

Cool story. I’ll make sure to tell all of Argentina that the choripán is an inferior sandwich. I’m sure that will go over well.
Italian beefs?
Philly cheesesteaks?
All inferior to the club based on structural design?

I posted the sandwich that inspired this discussion in order to not violate Rule 1, but I’ve been thinking about this more broadly.
I’ve noticed a disturbing trend of sandwich chains using the “U” method of facing the bread slit-side up and creating a sling with the meat at the bottom.
This creates an arguably more aesthetic cross-section, but a way worse eating experience. When you inevitably turn the sandwich sideways to eat it, you get some bites with way too much meat and others with way too much toppings. Not to mention the toppings tend to fall out.
The correct way to structure a sandwich is to use one slide of the bread as a base and build up from there. The friction from the top of the bread should be used as a support to keep the toppings in place. If you do this correctly you can even separate the two halves of the bread entirely and even monstrously sized sandwiches will hold together without falling apart.
Let’s do better, sandwich community

Can we make pretend time and just… turn the sando on its side?

As part of your argument, you present the idea of the top half of the bread holding down the ingredients, which is a bs idea, but then you insinuate that it’s okay to unhinge the roll altogether… it seems that you’re speaking for the sake of hearing yourself. You’ve totally discredited yourself as a serious and knowledgeable maker of hoagies, subs, heros, grinders, and all sandwiches in general. If I were a mod I would suspend you and burden your soul with a penance that you would not soon forget.

It’s an inferior sandwich because it looks like someone just dumped salad on a hoagie roll

Does anyone remember when Subway originally opened in Ct, and they cut a big wedge off the top of the sandwich, filed it and then put the wedge back on top?
