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    |
| -------------------------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------- | --------- |
| Burger Bun                             | bread   | sweet 2 soft springy               | the frame |
| hamburger pattyscored as Beef          | protein | fat 3 umami 3 juicy chewy tender   | **+10**   |

| grilled pineapplescored as Pineapple   | garnish | sweet 4 acid 3 juicy fresh raw     | **+11**   |

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

- **Teriyaki Sauce + Pineapple**: hawaiian logic: glaze and grilled fruit
