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.

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

- **Bacon + Lettuce**: cool crunch against hot smoke
- **Bacon + Avocado**: smoke and salt lift buttery avocado
- **Bacon + Tomato**: smoke against sweet acid, the blt core
- **Bacon + Turkey**: lean bird borrows the pig's smoke
- **Avocado + Turkey**: california club logic: green fat on lean bird
- **Tomato + Turkey**: lean bird and summer tomato, the deli standard

## How to raise it

- Outstanding, not legendary: nothing on this sandwich is house-made, named or exceptional.
