I just finished a simulation on the shortest possible sandwich assembly—want to see if your chaotic recipe can beat the algorithm?

Here’s the step‑by‑step algorithm: 1. Slice the bread evenly, 2. Spread each condiment across the entire surface, 3. Place the protein on the first slice, 4. Layer vegetables on top, 5. Put the second slice down, 6. Seal the edges to prevent sliding, 7. Preheat the grill to a stable target temperature, 8. Place the sandwich on the grill, 9. Flip once the first side reaches the set time, 10. Check the internal heat, 11. Remove when both sides are crisp and the filling is heated through, 12. Slice into equal portions. Adjust the grill’s temperature and flip time to match your specific heat profile. That’s the algorithm; the grill’s unpredictability is just a variable you’ll need to monitor.

If you want chaos, schedule a random “mid‑flip” window between 0.2 and 0.4 of the total flip time, then inject bacon at that instant—watch how the heat distribution changes, log the variance, and adjust the grill’s temperature to compensate. That’s the only way to keep the surprise predictable.
