Whomever wrote that clearly has never made or eaten a sandwich. Without something in between the two layers, it’s hardly a sandwich.

The foil is the 'meat' the rollers are the bread.

Thanks! That’s one rule I keep forgetting, but I’ll try to make an effort. Unfortunately I can’t edit the post anymore.
To quote the Blues Brothers, that's a "wish sandwich", when you have two slices of bread and you wish you had some meat.
An open sandwich can have two layers.
Not homogenous though.
If it was any more homogeneous it would just be a piece of bread.
that's not a sandwich, it's a pizza
A pizza is an open sandwich
No, pizza is a toast per Cube Rule - https://cuberule.com/
Toast is an open sandwich, unless it has no topping, in which case it is just bread. Also their definition of cake as having multiple layers makes no sense, and would rule out most actual cakes.
If you take a closer look at the examples again, you’ll see that nothing makes sense. That’s the joke.

(Steak is definitely a salad, though.)

What if the pizza has a stuffed crust?
>An open sandwich can have two layers.(..)

...and if one layer is meat and the other is a perfect meat vehicle, like a tortilla, you can simply fold it over the meat and wrap all the meat goodness is the proper warmth of a tortilla. Food, the way food was intended.
