Who orders steaks well done?

[DarrelSPowers]

I work part time as a waiter at an "upscale casual" steakhouse in Boston. We've got amazing cuts of meat... 14 oz rib eye for like... thirtysomething dollars. During the training period you get to eat anything on the menu every shift for free. I ate like a king for a week... filets, ny strips, and ribeyes every night.

Now, every time I take an order for a med-well or well done steak, I die a little inside.

I mean seriously, what kind of jerk wants to spend $30+ to waste a perfectly tasty piece of meat? Do they really think that dried out, charred husk of a steak tastes any good?

I dunno.. when you cook it to medium it might as well be chuck, its all the same at that point

 

[Anubis]

people like Aunt Selma who have no taste buds

What Steakhouse do you work at?

I saw someone eating a steak at Ruth Chris with ketchup once. I could feintly hear the baby jesus crying in the distance.

While I believe that people have the right to have their steaks cooked to whatever degree of "doneness" they prefer, I agree. Anything beyond medium-rare might as well be shoe leather. THOSE are the kinds of steaks that steak sauce was invented to improve.

Are you stupid? Do you really even have to ask this question? Think about it for a second Mr. Powers, why the fuck would someone spend $30 on a well done steak?

I only get my steaks medium rare, and I only get steaks that are good. None of this applebees/outback/ruby tuesdays stuff. I would rather get shitty ribs/chicken than shitty steak. Same goes with sushi.

Quote from my boss when we went to a steakhouse and asked how he wanted it " Just slap the cow on its ass and send it on out here "!

Some people like trying to crunch apart a burned up cinder that once upon a time used to be a good cut of meat.

The 'why' of that is beyond me.

Why?

Because they're scared of the bacterias and don't want to die?

I don't get why someone would order a steak from those places. It isn't hard to cook a steak yourself, and every city has a source of good beef.

Also don't understand why people buy good cuts from Safeway. worst meat ever

I can't do medium rare so I go medium but I definitely agree that medium well and up is a waste of steak.

Please, do the cow a favor and buy chicken instead

 

[Kalmah]

I don't eat bloody steak. :disgust:

edit: I don't like steak that much either. That is probably why. But I'll still pass on the blood.

Now give me some philly steak on a bun with onions, mushrooms, any kind of cheese, some jalapenos, and mayo and I'm good.

I say, "Just wipe it's ass and put it on the plate."

Waiter: How would you like your steaks cooked?
Pepper: Oh, just knock its horns off, wipe its nasty ass, and chunk it right here on this plate.



Anything more than rare is ruining a steak.

So you eat steak like sushi?

 

[SAWYER]

Who cares really? How does it affect you how others eat their food?

I'd rather have a cheeseburger than any steak. Tell me it has bacon on it, and that'll take a a couple of seconds off my few second decision time. That said.... If I do eat steak, I want it well done. If it has crispy bits of charcoal on the edges, all the better :^)

I've never seen a piece of steak worth $30+.
