Because paying $200 to eat a hockey puck with ketchup is just weird.
But dad, what If someone wants their well done?
We politely, yet firmly, ask them leave >

God dang it, Bobby. >

I'm not bragging about my BBQ, Dad, but you can go ahead and take your teeth out. >

Spoken like someone who eats well done steak 🥩 >

Probably with ketchup. >

Mmmm mmm nothin sets off the flavor of a steak like some ketchup >

Yeah. But I admit that if I'd gone out and picked up some $50 a pound prime dry aged rib eyes to cook for guests, I'd have a hard time cooking one well done for someone. It'd be like opening a bottle of Chateau Latour and watching a guest pour it over ice and Sprite. He may like it that way, but what a fucking waste. >

My mom used to make well done steaks when I was growing up because she was very paranoid of getting sick from the meat. While I do prefer medium rare to rare these days, those well done steaks were definitely nowhere close to dry. Still very good. The hate is overblown because people think well done steaks all look and taste like the Sahara because they have never tried it and have just been conditioned to hate it by social media and dads.
I bet those same people don't freak out when their steak in burritos is well done, which it almost always is. >

It’s not that we have never tried it, it cooks the fat out, with other animals it’s different but with quality beef the animal was bred for the fat to be almost ingrained into the muscle fibers and when you over cook it it renders that useless. Also I don’t know why your mom was so worried, you can and I have eaten raw beef, if it’s the loin of the cow it’s very good >

My mom was from a developing country, she wasn't too educated on these things. I think she got sick from some bad beef a few times and started cooking everything well done. >

Ahh I see, well I guess you can cook out just about anything bad so that definitely makes sense >

Good point, but who the fuck voluntarily eats rubber? >

Different cuts of meat do “better” at different temperatures. What determines “better” is fairly subjective, but there is a range that —if missed— results in a bad steak. >

Yeah, this is another thing that is specific only in 'merica, the land of the free, where if you don't like your meat still half alive you must be an outcast. >

I guess we could say North America eh? 
I’m from Canada 🇨🇦 and I still hear it up here! >

It's rare for that to happen >

Rare (°_°) >

Tell me you’re a freak that destroys steaks without telling me you’re a freak that destroys steaks. >

Hahahahah 😂 >

As a chef people who say well done is “well fucked” are just lazy. You can cook a nice well done steak it’s just most chefs just burn the fuck out of it. Get yourself a meat thermometer people!!
The one that does it for me is people ordering cuts like a rump blue, and then complain it’s chewy. >

Honestly I rarely eat beef anymore. And when I do, it’s a minor part of a bigger dish. I’ll never understand the culture surrounding steak. That said as long as it’s tender and not dry, it really comes down to taste. It’s wild that this is unpopular but here we are. >

I can't believe this is unpopular but it is. If I want to roast my food into oblivion, let me. People have done worse things and I'm literally not harming you in any way. >

💯…btw nice username! 👌👍 >

I generally dislike when people comment on food on other people plates. Listen, I went through a process when selecting my food, let me enjoy my meal. I don’t need your (often very detailed) opinion on what you like and don’t like. I am an not making you eat it. Enjoy the food you selected and leave mine alone. >

I would love to be able to serve the 30 day dry aged to people who appreciate it and keep a couple ungraded frozen diner steaks for people when want it dried up and soaked in a1 or ketchup >

Those of us who call only just about medium rare 'overcooked' get this as well, I feel your pain. Sadly I don't trust many places to cook it bleu near where i live, so I just have to say 'very rare.' >

Found the person that gnaws on hockey pucks. >

I’m from Canada, what did you expect? Hahaha >

I used to hate steak. My parents always ordered theirs well or medium-well.
Then I tried medium-rare.
Steak has been one of my favorites ever since. >

I couldn't agree more. Fuck people who tell others how to fucking enjoy their food.
(I made a similar post a few days ago and was removed by the moderators. Good luck while it lasts!) >

❤️ >

I have a rule where I don't tell anyone what they should enjoy or not like. Why is it my business'. 
However, I'm not giving you some prime cut I just paid top dollar for if you want it well done, bring your own or its discount sirloin from the freezer for you >

Agreed.  Why judge preferences if no one is getting hurt?  If someone wants to order a $50 filet mignon butterflied, cooked well, and served with a side of ketchup, why do I care? >

I am guessing you are the type of person that goes to a sushi restaurant and orders a fried crab roll. >

Who goes to a sushi restaurant for a crab roll? They are way cheaper at 7-11. >

You can eat your steak how you want, I’m still gonna make fun of you for eating the equivalent to a leather shoe if you want it well done. >

OP likes their steak cut up for them and then flown towards their open mouth, here comes the airplane style >

Real >

I too, am not fond of those who are snotty with how others eat their food
