Outstanding. Small moves left on the board.

Reads as a fully realized lox bagel, five of six roles, most layers have a partner.

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.

**bagel of choice**, served cold: house cured lox; red onion; schmear; capers; pickled red beet cabbage; cracked pepper.

Much of this build is inferred from the name; the score is a reading, and it stays out of Drewish Deli - Healdsburg Bagel's typical score.

Worth a look: house-made: Smoked Salmon (lox); ingredient not in the pantry: Pickled Beet Cabbage.

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

- **Bagel + Cream Cheese**: the schmear: cream cheese on a boiled crust
- **Salmon + Onion**: raw onion bite keeps rich lox honest
- **Salmon + Cream Cheese**: lox logic: rich fish on a cool schmear
- **Salmon + Caper**: briny pop against rich cured fish

## How to raise it

- Clear the board: a wet layer on soft bread (-5).
