A well done steak should be thrown in the trash no matter how good a cut it was originally.

My missus has her steak well done. This has caused more arguments between us than any other single issue.  I shoudln't really care, it's her steak but it really, really pisses me off.

He family are beef farmers as well. Well known in the Basque country for the quality of their cows.

What's a foodie?
A food snob.
Oh.  Well, there's some levels of food snobbery that aren't so bad.  But once you move past the 'condemning Caliga for eating out of the dumpster behind the local Denny's' stage, you're probably going to far.

I think I've mentioned this on Languish before, but back when I was a kitchen porter in a fairly high class Edinburgh restaurant (the kind where'd you'd have to work five hours in the kitchen to afford a starter) a customer had the temerity to order a steak "very well done".

The chef flew into an absolute rage upon the check being read out, throwing a heated pan across the room and shouting "Very well done!? Why don't they just fucking eat their shoe!"

That's sort of my reaction too.

I just realized that this thread would be really insensitive if the guy got a chair.

The chair. "A" chair has an entirely different meaning.  :D

Now that I look at the picture of my steak, the red looks really red.  Is there such a thing as a steak that's too undercooked? :unsure:
Yea if it has any pink in it.

Now I see why you no longer live in Alberta.

No steak for you!

In a very rare steak, the center is almost uncooked, and that can be a food safety issue.

I guess it depends on what kind of restaurants you frequent.

I regularly eat steak tartare so I guess if food was supposed to kill me, it would have already.

Well yes, but not for that.

I'd just as soon have a burger as a steak anyway.

:yuk: I've tried tartare, but I can't get past the feeling that I'm eating pet food.

Well that was the joke I was going for. ;)

But if you'd just as soon have a burger as a steak, we as a province are better off without you.  :mad:
