$30 is an amount everyone on this forum is familiar with, except you. You wouldn't happen to be our former president would you?

he said worth 30.

Yes, i get it. Obv you don't either.

obviously i'm an idiot

No, JohnCU and I both get what growled is trying to say. I've never seen a steak worth 30 dollars to me either growled.

Seen plenty of steaks that COST 30 dollars. Eaten several steaks that COST 30 dollars. None worth it.

How was Bob Evans tonight? Too much salt?

Some of us have better things to buy than 30 dollar steaks. A 7 dollar cut from a local butcher with a home made twice baked potato is less than 1/2 the cost and much better.

With whole-cuts of meats, you don't need to worry one bit about any kind of sickness. Anything dangerous will only be on the external surfaces. Unless its from a mad-cow infected beastie, but then... the temperature the whole steak reaches even in medium-rare would completely destroy that. Ordering rare might potentially leave the prions intact, but... worrying about mad-cow is a waste of time.

Umm...you don't know how prions work. Cooking does nothing. The reason why it's not worth worrying about is that, short of autoclaving everything you eat, there is no way to get rid of it other than avoiding the contaminated meat in the first place.

Except that you will ONLY encounter people who care about how others eat their food on the internet. Such people will NEVER actually make a public scene if someone gets their steak well done. However, picky eaters WILL make such a scene, complain to management, cost REAL people REAL money, get good food taken off of the menu and generally waste everyone's time while making their lives worse.

I've a great deal of tolerance for the petty complaints that are strewn liberally about the web, since the internet doesn't matter. But real life is different, and people who complain in real life suck hardcore.

Maybe I'm confused but in Japan, birds are not considered animals. We call it Tori, which is bird. It's funny that in America they consider tomatoes as fruits, same type of difference.

No, tomatoes ARE fruits, and birds ARE animals, and that is a scientific FACT.

No, no, you have to eat whatever food they serve you the way they feel like serving it even though you're the one paying for it.

Once you get into high enough end restaurants this isn't far from the reality.

I do however fully accept another person's decision to order a $50 steak and request that it be burned into a piece of tasteless rubber with a crunchy shell. I do however shed an invisible tear as a once juicy prime cut bone in filet (or other great cut) is immolated.

<---steak nazi

I'm too much of a skinflint to pay for meals in those types of restaurants anyway... only if somebody else is footing the bill

Most of my outings to restaurants who's menus exert enough money sucking force on your wallet to fold space-time directly into your bank account are on the company or people we do business with.

Misery is hoping that your waiter remembers to tell the chef to hold the onions, put the sauce on the side, char the meat, don't let the broccoli touch the potatos, extra ice in your water, no ice in your soda and then pout and whine when it comes back wrong so you have to sit there like a baby girl with your arms crossed when you send the food back and watch everyone else eat. Then everyone has to sit around and wait for you to finish your pathetic dessicated dinner because you're a picky bastard.

Cry more?

Since when does responding to posts on the internet constitute crying? You're obviously upset by my stance. Either get over it or come up with some responses that actually convey an idea. Limp insults just make you look stupid.

Actually, I'm just busy being entertained by the amount of vitriol you have to spout for people who prefer to eat foods the way that is appealing to them

Well, this makes me feel since the truth is I'm just trying to write entertaining paragraphs. I really don't give a crap what people eat. I'm not the person who makes a stink about other people's food choices, including my friends, nor do I seethe over it during dinner. I ham, however, I am fascinated in what makes up 'taste' and preference in people. So far, people have suggested heritage and upbringing -- the cooking of your parents. I guess I'm reaching towards the same conclusion. You could probably read between the lines and guess that I grew up by mixed european parents, was allowed to have a little wine with dinner even as a child, "un petit gout," just a little taste. I've been fortunate enough to visit Europe quite a bit throughout my life (in my 30s now) and having family there exposed me to different foods, like stinky cheeses and unpasturized cider. So you can guess I was eating tongue at a very early age. My tastes are shaped by these experiences. I was given cow tongue and told to just eat it and it was good. But taste might be more complicated.

Perhaps each person simply experiences tastes in a different way, due to the particular fingerprints our DNA imprints upon our taste buds -- the old question, is my blue your blue or your green or yellow? Met someone who hated bananas only because they were yellow.

Oh, and by the way, i'm not a food snob because even if I order a medium rare steak and I get a goddamn hocky puck with a pube on it, I WOULD PLUCK THE HAIR OFF AND EAT IT WITHOUT COMPLAINT. And when the waitress swings by and says "hows everything" I smile and nod and tip her 20 percent. Would you do that?

And. . . was that entertaining? I put a little bit of effort on it. Kind of like a pube on a steak.

^^^ I'm not crazy. Someone in this thread is actually arguing that birds are not animals. And he's comparing it to the fact that tomatoes are technically fruit but treated like vegetables. He's comparing apples to oranges.

I dare you to post a new thread with a poll for the best place to buy jars of mango salsa. That way I can post an elitst, condescending rant lambasting (lamb basting?) you because you'd rather not be bothered to make your own mango salsa with cilantro and calvados.

 

[Fear No Evil]

I do occasionally eat steak well done.. its just when I do, its usually out of a bag that says 'beef jerkey' on the outside. Otherwise, its medium/medium rare. If you eat it well done you are either a communist or an Obama supporter.

 

[acheron]

The tomato thing goes by whether you ask a botanist or a cook. Botanically, yes, it's a fruit. Same kind of thing as for peanuts -- botanically, it's not a nut (neither are, e.g., cashews).

I can't possibly think what kind of classification system would call birds something other than animals, though.

depends on how the $30 one's cooked, I am not a Steak snob but at home you CAN NOT duplicate what they do at a place like Donnovans. No home oven gets even close to hot enough to cook the steak properly. I won't argue it's a much better deal to do it at home. But you're not touching the taste on a grill or a home oven. We can debate weather it's worth it or not worth it all day. But the second somebody tells me they can make a steak at home better than the ones I get from Donnovans, I know that's a person I don't need to waste my time debating with.

I need to look into if it's possible to get one of those uber ovens in your home. Last time I went to Donnovans I about died, and since it's been almost impossible for me to make a steak in my broiler and enjoy it

Yea really. Order your steak the way you want it, let them order their steak the way they want it, and shut the fuck up about it.

No. This detachment from food, bathing everything in condiments and burning it to a crisp and suggesting that everyone can get what they want, always, has created a generation of picky eating, annoying ninny nanny wimps who start ordering sandwiches with the crust cut off the bread and cut into triangles like mommy made. People like this are prisoners of their own hangups and closed-mindedness and essentially abandon the ability to travel anywhere in the world and savor the cuisine of different cultures without a second thought. And if the thought of touring asia and africa and eating the food doesn't appeal to you, then enjoy your Hardees and Applebees in your stripmalls, I guess.

*** you also have collectively made restaurant menus bland, tasteless and watered down and riddled with options and caveats. You're making good food universally worse because restaurant owners are forced to cater to your pathetic obsessions to stay in business.

If restaurant owners are changing their menu to fit the needs of people not like you, clearly more people agree with them. You are then the minority when it comes to food. Grow a set and deal with it.

(and I don't know why you wrote much of your post in the 2nd person. I didn't say I eat my steaks well done, and I don't. I said people like you that whine about people that DO get their steaks well done are fucking idiots and need to shut up and eat their own food)

 

[shortylickens]

I would just like to use this opportunity to say Logans Road House is the best chain restaurant steak you can buy.

And I order medium or medium well from them, depending on my mood.

This thread is about steaks at a "nice steakhouse". If you are happy getting a tbone from applebees or outback, more power to you. However, most of us are talking about nice places that serve steaks. I enjoy eating good steaks and would be happy to pay for them.
Maybe you and a couple of others don't care about good food, thats fine, enjoy your mediocre food. One day you might leave your little box and experience something good.

Actually, he's right, for the most part.

everytime i've seen black people ask for steak at hometown buffet, they look for well down ones. ;_;

medium steaks are at the border of acceptable.
medium rare steaks are good.
rare steaks are <3.

i mean, what kind of idiot thinks ordering it well done wastes the meat? i love mine med rare or rare, my ex and my oldest daughter were well done all the way. ive tasted VERY good well done steaks, maybe the people cooking the ones youve tried just suck.

the reason they wanted well done? my ex couldnt stand the sight of the reddish juice on the plate, my oldest daughter only did it cuz her mom did it. she tried my med rare one time and loved it as much, so she will get which ever one shes in the mood for.
