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    |
| ------------------------------------------------ | ------- | -------------------------------- | --------- |
| ciabatta rollscored as Ciabatta                  | bread   | soft chewy crusty                | the frame |
| steakscored as Beef                              | protein | fat 3 umami 3 juicy chewy tender | **+14**   |
| wild arugulascored as Arugula                    | bulk    | bitter 2 fresh leafy tender      | **+6**    |
| red onionscored as Onion                         | texture | sweet 2 crunchy juicy fresh      | **+4**    |

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

- **Beef + Arugula**: tagliata logic: pepper leaf on seared beef
- **Beef + Onion**: onions sweeten seared beef, philly style
