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    |
| ------------------------------------ | ------- | -------------------------------------------- | --------- |
| hoagie roll (inferred from the name) | bread   | soft crusty                                  | the frame |
| grilled chickenscored as Chicken     | protein | umami 3 fat 2 juicy chewy tender             | **+5**    |
| marinara saucescored as Marinara     | sauce   | acid 3 umami 3 salt 2 sweet 2 soft saucy wet | **+30**   |
| mozzarella                           | protein | fat 3 soft springy melty                     | **+6**    |
| parmesan cheesescored as Parmesan    | protein | salt 4 umami 4 fat 3 powdery melty           | **+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

- **Marinara + Parmesan**: parmesan salts the marinara's sweetness
- **Mozzarella + Parmesan**: milky stretch under salty parmesan

## How to raise it

- Outstanding, not legendary: the menu does not name its bread.
