As good as that looks I can never do recipes like that except for a special occasion. 4-5 hours of cooking way too long for a meal.

Yeah, the actual active cooking time is more like an hour and a bit. But when you got kids to watch and it's gross outside, staying by the kitchen for half your day isn't so bad

Now what should I do next...

I worked at a BBQ place in KC when I was a kid, and a regular restaurant when I was in college as a cook. Nothing major, but I got most of the basics.

Short story. When I worked at that place in college, I cooked a TON of steaks and got pretty good at it. One night, some lady orders a filet mignon rare, so I fix her up. The steak comes back and she says it's not done enough. Fine, maybe I fucked up. So I put it back on the grill and cook it to medium. It comes back again... it's not done enough. I verify that she ordered it 'rare' and sure enough she did. I popped that fucker in the microwave for a few minutes and sent it back out. You could have bounced that steak to her table. No further complaints.

I would have wanted to go out to the table and explain to her what "rare" means since she obviously had no clue. Could she really be that dumb or does she just get off on sending shit back? You should have pissed on that steak before you put it in the microwave.

She was smoking hot and was totally interested in that cute cook. Maybe if she keeps sending her steak back, he'll come out and talk to her. Nice work, Gravy.

All those things popped into my head afterwards. I was too dumbfounded at the time. I never served up a spitter before, but I did know a guy who pee'd in the grease at Long John Silvers. Still can't eat there.

She probably just ordered the steak rare because she heard other people doing it and had no idea what it meant.

This is why I hate letting strangers prepare my food. Low paid strangers at that.

isn't the waiter supposed to be the first line of defense and say, "but ma'm you order it rare, that is rare", if not the first time, then second time, something should have been said.

The waiter would never say it like that. If anything they describe it when you order it. "Rare, that's a cool, pink center, correct?" Something like that.
