A sandwich at Saul's Restaurant & Delicatessen, a deli in Berkeley, California.
out of 100 · rough
Rough, with one move worth +14.
Uncharted, two of six roles, few layers have a partner.
Holding the summit: a finished composition, a third role on the board (an acid, a sauce, an aroma or a crunch)
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.
hoagie roll (inferred from the kind of place), toasted: sauteed greens; amba; cheese.
Much of this build is inferred from the name; the score is a reading, and it stays out of Saul's Restaurant & Delicatessen's typical score.
Worth a look: ingredient not in the pantry: Sautéed Greens, Amba.

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.
