More acid than 90% of 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.

**hoagie roll (inferred from the kind of place)**, served cold: cucumber; tomato; lettuce; red onions; pickles; pepperoncinis; hummus; avocado; choice of cheese.

Much of this build is inferred from the name; the score is a reading, and it stays out of Roadees Cafe's typical score.

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.
