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    |

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

- **Egg + Cheddar Cheese**: cheddar melts into soft egg, diner law
- **Egg + Chipotle Mayo**: egg salad core: yolk richness doubled
- **Cheddar Cheese + Chipotle Mayo**: smoky heat in sharp fat, the southwest melt

## How to raise it

- Clear the board: a wet layer on soft bread (-5).
- Judged as an egg and cheese: richness is not held against it.
