More heat 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.

rosemary focaccia, served cold: paneer; tikka masala sauce; pepper jack cheese; chipotle mayo.

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

Worth a look: ingredient not in the pantry: Paneer, Tikka Masala Sauce.

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.
