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    |
| -------------------------------------------------- | ------- | --------------------------------- | --------- |
| grilled artisan rollscored as Ciabatta             | bread   | soft chewy crusty                 | the frame |
| shredded porkscored as Pork                        | protein | fat 4 umami 4 juicy chewy tender  | **+44**   |
| homemade bbq sauce (house-made)scored as BBQ Sauce | sauce   | sweet 4 salt 2 acid 2 silky saucy | **+19**   |

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
