For ages, Americans have been debating on which is better, tastier & healthier between Burger or Sandwiches.

Today we pit these two bitter rivals head to head to determine which has the best bang for your buck!

After the success of our piece on Sandwich shop business names, here is yet another one that promises to keep readers on the edge of their seats.

Before we get into the comparison proper, there are a few noteworthy questions that have been asked by readers regarding this topic.

I’m going to do my possible best to answer them:

What makes something a burger?

People who ask the question of what exactly makes something a Burger are trying to figure out why a Burger is not a Sandwich and why do they call a Sandwich a Sandwich.

What makes something a Burger? Why a Burger is not a Sandwich

You’ll agree they both look similar and as such can be very confusing to some Foodies.

But here’s the core reason why a Burger is a Burger and a Sandwich is called a Sandwich:

How you know a Burger is when you see those two semi round Buns with a patty (usually chicken or beef) in-between with all the lettuce and onions.

Why do they call a Sandwich a Sandwich?

Sandwiches on the other hand in their original nature are comprised of Bread slices instead of Buns, and eggs in-between instead of Patty.

Is a Sandwich a Burger or is a Burger a Sandwich?

Typically, I think it’s safe to say that Burgers originate from the family of Sandwiches. Probably also Hot Dogs.

With this in mind, we can deduce that a Burger is in fact a Sandwich (and not the other way around.

The difference between Hamburger and Sandwich

The difference really is in their outright appearance.

Burgers are typically rounder, more chunky and juicier overall while it’s evil Cousin, Sandwich is usually flatter due to lack of beef or Chicken patties and that semi round Bun that encloses the patty in the middle.

Burger Vs Sandwich: Which is more popular?

I bet most of you have been wondering which of these two are more popular in the US and probably in the world.

Burger Vs Sandwich

Taking a look at Google Trends data for these two search terms, we can easily deduce that in fact, Burger wins hands down over Sandwich.

Meaning, there are way more people worldwide who are interested in Burgers as compared to Sandwiches.

No surprise there.

We encountered virtually the same sort of results when we put Burgers Head to Head with Pizza in our previous post.

Burger Vs Sandwich: Which is Healthier?

A lot of you have been disturbing Google for which is healthier between Burger and Sandwich.

As far as customisation goes, either of them could be unhealthy or more healthy depending on how the eater wishes to customise them.

For instance, depending on what type of bread you use, what type of meat, what type of vegetables, how much of the sauce you consume etc, your Burger or Sandwich can be healthy or unhealthy.

However coming down to specifics, let’s take a look at what is typically obtainable in both meals:

Sodium content

One Burger has Sodium content of 976 milligrammes. So while the protein in the Chicken in Sandwiches are leaner and healthier, the sodium content in them are reported at at least 2x of that of Burgers.

Foods high in sodium are likely to cause various forms of heart diseases like hypertension, heart attacks, strokes etc.

Calorie content

It’s easy to call the Sandwich the champion as regards to calories because it typically makes use of Chicken or Eggs which are lower in calories.

Burgers on the other hand have patties that are usually deep fried and as a result contain considerably more calories than the former.

Are fried Chicken sandwiches healthier than Burgers?

Burger Vs Sandwich

Yes and no.

It depends actually.

Either of them could be unhealthy or more healthy depending on how the eater wishes to customise them.

Is Chicken Sandwich healthier than Cheeseburger?

Again as I said earlier, depending on what type of bread you use, what type of meat, what type of vegetables, how much of the sauce you consume and other smaller variables, your Cheeseburger or Chicken Sandwich can be healthier or unhealthier that the other.

Burger Vs Sandwich: Which is more tasty?

Truth is, guys, I can’t answer this one for you. Different people have different definitions of what “tasty” means to them.

For some Americans, “tasty” speaks to how much salt a particular comfort food has. For some it’s sugar and for some it’s the sauce.

Personally, I’ll go for Burger over Sandwich any day as far as taste is concerned. It is more expensive but nevertheless.

The only way to find out for yourself is to actually eat both and make your decision.
