I think co-calzone is probably most sensible.

Though the whole topic is a mess: an open-faced sandwich suddenly is a self-dual food.

Self duals are entirely reasonable! A unified theory of food would be incomplete if we excluded such beautiful symmetries.
So where are we heading?

It seems we might slip from group theory to category theory. At which point we are surely describing the structure of meta-sandwiches (in that they sandwich various definitions of sandwichness between each other)

I think you're onto something, after all burritos are just endofunctors in the category of monoids.
So called "open-faced sandwiches" are not sandwiches.
Projected into two dimensions, they are.
