A wrap at D'Yar, a restaurant in Berkeley, California.
out of 100 · chaos
Chaos, with one move worth +41.
Uncharted, two of six roles, half the layers have no partner.
Holding the summit: a finished composition, a third role on the board (an acid, a sauce, an aroma or a crunch)
−25 condiments only
Less umami than almost everything in the catalog.
Each bar is one pillar of the score, 0 to 100. The tick marks what a sandwich at the summit needs; an amber bar is the one holding this sandwich back.
Pita (bread not stated on the menu), served cold: thin slices of beef & lamb gyro; yogurt sauce; the works.
Worth a look: ingredient not in the pantry: Gyro Meat, The Works.

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.
