Amen. I know you guys are mostly joking, but I get so f'ing sick of hearing that shit. I always get my steak medium well to well. Guess what? I think it tastes 10000 times better than undercooked steak. I don't want my cow moo'ing back at me. Who gets to decide that there is a proper way to cook a food? Some people say getting it well ruins the flavor. I couldn't disagree more. To me, it is far more flavorful. Different people have different taste buds. It's a scientific fact (there's actually a chemical in broccoli that causes a certain taste reaction in some people but not others). I just hate when people act like it's blasphemy to get your steak cooked well. I think it's blasphemy to get it rare. There's my rant.

Oh, and last buy was one too many scotch's.

Different strokes for everyone, obviously, but purposely cooking most (or all) of the juice out of a good steak is one of the more bizarre food decisions, imo. Do you at least stick to real fatty cuts like ribeys when you go well done? That saves it a tiny bit. Eating a well done sirloin is like eating a piece of charcoal.

As long as you've tried it less cooked I'm cool with you ordering however you like it. My wife grew up in a family that always over-cooked their steaks, and she just didn't know the alternative. One of the first times we ever went out she ordered a sirloin well done, and I hung my head in shame.

Anyway, I gradually worked on her steak eating habits and she now can't believe she spent half her life eating meat well done. One of my prouder achievements within our relationship.

I brought someone to the dark side of eating steak well done. So your work has become moooooo(t).
