**85** Balance, out of 100

The seven flavor axes of the whole sandwich, each summed across its layers. The shaded ring is the catalog's middle 80%; the small number under each axis is where this sandwich falls in the catalog. A shape that sits inside the ring is in the range most sandwiches live in; a spike past it is where this one stands apart.

## What each layer brings

| Layer                                 | Role    | Flavor and texture                  | Points    |
| ------------------------------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------- | --------- |
| choice of bread                       | bread   | soft                                | the frame |
| classic tendersscored as Chicken      | protein | umami 3 fat 2 juicy chewy tender    | **+10**   |
| lola's classic slawscored as Coleslaw | bulk    | acid 2 fat 2 crunchy creamy dressed | **+12**   |

Points: what the Sandwich Score would lose if that one layer were left out, everything else the same. A negative number means the sandwich scores higher without it. Flavor runs 0 to 5 on each axis.

## Pairings

- **Chicken + Coleslaw**: cold crunch against crisp fried chicken

## How to raise it

- Clear the board: a wet layer on soft bread (-5).
