Went out to eat for mother's day with the my fiance's entire family.. Whole family ordered their steaks well done except me and the fiance. We went medium, if I cook it myself I'll go medium rare (never really gone fully into rare), but usually at restaurants I don't trust them to go any lower than medium. We got such disgusted looks from the family, but I just can't fathom how people can eat a well done steak. it's like chewing on a rubber boot. This doesn't really add to the cooking thread in the last, just thought I'd weigh-in on my disgust.

I did follow someones advice here and let my steaks get to room temperature before cooking them. Worked out so great. My fiance said they were the best steaks she's ever had. I loved them so much I ate about 1.5 pounds of it at once.

I hope that the episode of the show where they show Joffrey's wedding starts with 45 minutes of them bringing out one dish after another and describing it like they did in the book.

There's really nothing to worry about with steak. Hamburger is risky because it's not a solid piece. With a steak the bacteria that will give you the shits is only on the outside of the meat. As long as the outside is browned your'e good. Order rare with confidence.

Yeah, anyone who orders a steak cooked more than medium rare is a heathen in my opinion.

I just think people that like it well done should just order a hamburger patty instead. Hamburger tastes better than steak well done, it's cheaper, and you don't ruin a good steak.

One of the restaurants in town has the following quote in their menu:

"Remember, the more you cook a steak, the smaller, tougher, and drier it becomes!"

Fuckin dead on.

I eat burgers medium rare all the time, too. Unfortunately, most places are terrible about it actually coming out medium rare so you usually end up with medium.

Kitchen Nightmares is a fun show to watch, I think. Ramsay can be a douche, but he's good at what he does.

I burned through the British version pretty quick, and it was fantastic. I have my reservations about the US version, but I will probably give in for a fix of Ramsay.
