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     |

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 + Cheddar Cheese**: grilled cheese law: sharp cheese, tangy crust
- **Beef + BBQ Sauce**: brisket law: bbq sauce on smoked beef
- **Beef + Cheddar Cheese**: the cheeseburger pair: sharp on seared beef
- **BBQ Sauce + Cheddar Cheese**: sharp cheddar stands up to sweet bbq
