**70** Balance, out of 100

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    |
| ----------------------------------- | ------- | -------------------------------- | --------- |
| french rollscored as Hoagie Roll    | bread   | soft crusty                      | the frame |
| tender beefscored as Beef           | protein | fat 3 umami 3 juicy chewy tender | **+7**    |
| provolone cheesescored as Provolone | protein | fat 3 umami 3 salt 2 soft melty  | **+14**   |
| bell peppersscored as Bell Pepper   | bulk    | crunchy juicy fresh              | **0**     |
| onionsscored 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 + Provolone**: philly logic: sharp provolone on beef
- **Beef + Onion**: onions sweeten seared beef, philly style
- **Bell Pepper + Onion**: peppers and onions, the griddle pair

## How to raise it

- Between you and 90: balance 0.80 or better (0.10 short).
