**80** 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    |
| ----------------------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------- | --------- |
| sourdough                     | bread   | soft chewy crusty                       | the frame |
| hamburger pattyscored as Beef | protein | fat 3 umami 3 juicy chewy tender        | **+19**   |
| grilled onionscored as Onion  | texture | sweet 2 crunchy juicy fresh             | **+15**   |
| american cheese (low tier)    | protein | fat 4 salt 3 umami 2 gooey creamy melty | **+16**   |

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

- **Sourdough + American Cheese**: grilled cheese law: melted cheese, tangy crust
- **Beef + Onion**: onions sweeten seared beef, philly style
