Things like this seem silly but there’s likely laws or protection that use sandwiches in their wording.
Defining things you want them to apply to as sandwiches is easier than changing the law.
Makes more sense than the time Indiana tried to define pi as 3.2. The only reason it didn’t was because a professor from Purdue was in Indianapolis on unrelated business and convinced Indiana’s senate to table the bill.
Of course, we know today that such a thing couldn’t happen since Indiana’s legislature would laugh at the woke lib and pass it just to trigger him.
But why do they even have laws about sandwiches in the first place?
Read the article. It’s a zoning issue.
Something existing does not answer the question about WHY it exists.
I’m not sure if this particular article explained, but I live here. He signed an agreement that stated that “any food business allowed would be a ‘subway’ style food business”
That’s the issue
Edit: I’m a huge fan of this taco place, just stating what’s going on. I hate subway.

But is a quesadilla a sandwich?

but the tortilla does not contain a leavening agent and therefore cannot be considered bread.
I have to disagree here. It is unleavened bread.

I’m surprised Merriam-Webster doesn’t know that.
Nice find!
Idk man I consider wraps as sandwiches

KANGAROO COURT!
We need to bring in experts on this matter. Someone summon Guy Fieri.
This tuling was passed due to a contract obligation to open a sandwich store. These cases are ueually related to regulations. Kind of like when an Irish court ruled that Subway subs are cakes, so higher VAT and sugar tax would apply to them. (In all fairness, the sugar content in the Subway “bread” is several times higher than the max allowed for bread.)
This makes some sense as all foods are salads; sandwiches are untossed salads, tacos are untossed taco salads.
Sandwich: 🥪 (two disconnected slices of bread cut from a larger loaf 🍞)
Wrap: 🌯 (one continuous flat bread)
Burger: 🍔 (a halved bun, therefore it’s also Chicken Burger, not Chicken Sandwich)
Taco (🌮) feels like belonging broadly in the wrap category being based on flat bread.
