The Vehicle Of The Sandwich
-
Egg
The 'God Nut' of the breakfast sandwich, much like the God Nut on a helicopter. Wouldn't work without it. Is it fresh cracked from a free-range hen or conjured from mystical powder?
-
Additional Meat/Cheese/Groceries
Bacon? Cheddar? Avocado? Tomato? God forbid... lettuce? How do these add/detract to the sandwich?
-
Sauce

Overall Taste
How does everything come together?
-
Ease Of Consumption
Could you one-hand eat this thing directly over your shirt 5 minutes before the morning meeting without fear? Or do you require a sleeve of napkins and a bib to eat it?
-
Post-Consumption Workability
Do you have to take a 20-minute nap after eating this or are you ready to tackle the 15 flights of stairs up to your office floor without heaving?

Playoffs
The playoffs work as follows:
- Semi-Finals: Voting will be open from Dec 9 to Dec 13. You'll have to pick between Sandwich #1 vs Sandwich #4 and Sandwich #2 vs Sandwich #3 to advance to the finals.
- Finals: Finals selection is from Dec 21 to Jan 1. On Jan 1, we'll have our champion sandwich.
During the playoffs, you can choose the sandwich based on your prior knowledge, or you can make any alterations to get the top-performing sandwich. It will no longer be a rating system, but instead a head-to-head battle. We want all of these shops to shine to their maximum! So if you feel a sandwich could have a modification, you can go make it to re-rank the sandwich accordingly. Anybody is welcome to participate in the playoffs, even if you didn't rate sandwiches in the initial ranking period.
Tie breaks will go to the top-ranked sandwich from the regular season.
