Who the hell eats blue rare steak?

[FocusedDaily]

“’Saving for well done’ is a time-honoured tradition dating back to cuisine’s earliest days: meat and fish cost money. Every piece of cut, fabricated food must, ideally, be sold for three or even four times its costs in order for the chef to make his food ‘cost per cent’. So what happens when a chef finds a tough, slightly skanky end-cut of sirloin, that’s been pushed repeatedly to the back of the pile? He can throw it out, but that’s a total loss…Or he can ‘save for well-done’ – serve it to some rube who prefers to eat his meat or fish incinerated into a flavourless, leathery hunk of carbon, who won’t be able to tell if what he’s eating is food or flotsam.”

I have multiple chef friends that have confirmed this for me. 4 different ones from 4 different restaurants in 3 different parts of the country (Orlando, chicago, vegas). No one who orders well done ever gets a really good steak, ever.

I was in New Orleans last year with a homegirl, We went to Emeril's Delmonico and she was about to order a $54 steak well done, and I asked the waiter to ask if the chef could come to the table and talk. I straight up asked him about how they save certain pieces for people who order well done and he laughed and admitted it. He said of course all their steaks are high quality, but they do choose which steak you get based on how cooked you order it.

@Elle Driver I'm sure you didn't see this

Yea chain spots are the worst. If you are going to pay for a steak a family owned/non chain steak house is the best place.

Says who?

Fish>Steak

I tend to do medium and medium well.
People who eat theirs well done never bothered me half as much as it does some of you though.

@marcuz and @hustlemania

Yall got me laughing all through this bytch though

 

[Low_key]

Its sad most of the responses in here show yall have very little knowledge of steak. I make my own marinade from scratch, season the steak then let it sit in the marinade all night. Now u cant use that store bought marinade shyt u really gotta use the right flavors depending on what kind of accent u want on the steak. Every time I cook my steaks at a cookout they tell me its even better then the high end steak houses no bullshyt and it aint no red inside U heardme

 

[Broke Wave]

That red stuff is not blood. Its not legal to serve meat with blood in it.

@Elle Driver I'm sure you didn't see this

[Cat piss martini]

You a solid poster and all but....

Eat cannibal cow's brehs.

[YouMadd?]

If you eating a nice cut from a cow like ribeye or filet mignon you are wasting your money if it isn't rare.

 

[YouMadd?]

I think white folk have rubbed off on a lot of you nikkas. In more ways then one. One being not cooking your food all the way and yall actually being stupid to shun someone for cooking his food properly

Twilight zone ass nikkas

Yall probably like runny eggs and shyt right?

A well done steak with a nice steaks sauce is glorious.

But again I don't even red meat anymore so

And to the dude that brought up Africans bbqing...I dont get it? What's wrong with bbqiing?

Steak sauce? The fukk? You don't need steak sauce on a piece of meat that is cooked properly....
