Outstanding, and the road to 90 is open.

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

More acid 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.

**cuban bread (inferred from the name)**, pressed: house made carnitas; taso ham; swiss cheese; harissa aioli; pickles; hot mustard.

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

Worth a look: house-made: Pork; rare in the Bay Area (5 or fewer shops): Harissa Aioli; ingredient not in the pantry: Tasso Ham.

**98** 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.

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

- **Pork + Pickle (cucumber)**: rich pork wants the pickle's sharp edge
- **Pork + Mustard**: roast pork wants mustard's sharp edge

## How to raise it

- Outstanding, not legendary: the menu does not name its bread.
