When is a sandwich not a sandwich?

In what has to be one of the most bizarre rulings I've seen a judge make, a judge in Worchester, Mass. ruled that a burrito is not a sandwich. Apparently Panera was trying to prevent a Qdoba from moving into a mall where they had a store. They had a contract with the mall preventing them from leasing space to another sandwich shop. But, presumably, since a burrito is not a sandwich, Qdoba wins and gets the mall space. Best part of the story: the judge called on a chef and a former high-ranking federal agricultural official to make this decision. Isn't that a bit overkill? I mean, couldn't he have just stuck with Webster's?
