There is blue-rare, rare then med-rare. There is a difference.
SomeDetroitGuy
They have confused Rare with Blue.

As a cook who worked in a very meat filled place, this notice should be everywhere... There should be one for eggs as well...
LarryHParkerImguryAttorney
It's a texture thing. I don't like chewing raw fucking flesh. Medium Well, and tell the chef to make it with love, stfu & do his Goddamn job
ZachPutland
Same. I feel nauseous if I eat rare meat or runny eggs
Kajitheninja
i dont see why people care, if im paying for something i am going to eat then why cant i enjoy it. im not making you eat it

Well done is only bad if you don't know how to cook. You have to cook it real slow, and use thin cuts of meat.
Coruxus
How about, if I prefer it to look like it's been in Satan's personal incinerating stove for hours then that's how it's gonna be
Then if I'm the waiter I'll just give you some charcoal. It'll likely taste better.

And i'll gladly pitch a fit to the manager til you're fired :)

I want my steak well done, and tell the chef "fight me."
juneblue
Take the steak out, whisper the word "sear" to it and serve it to me.
collegeisjustsadnessanddebt
Or you could just let people enjoy food the way they want it.
Davidnfilms
Med well all the way yo!
You must have meant rare, the furthest any human SHOULD go.
You animal! I might as well be eating steak sushi!
Cow sushi, mmm.
This is wrong. Medium well has a pink center. Maybe spend less time being ignorant and condescending and more time actually learning
takichandler
Well done gets you the worst oldest piece of meat since you can't tell if it was good to begin with
huhwhathuh
This is a microcosm of my marriage from year one to year five.
thisaintmyname
*sigh* Rare and raw are two different things. Rare is cooked to around 130F. It is cooked, even from the inside and thus not raw at all.
SanityAsylum
I'm good with the chef hating me, they'd hate me less if they ever actually cooked it well done the first time I asked.
Ziablo
My ex would alway want well done. I would go back and tell the chef. Butterfly it and ruin it. She would send back anything pink. Ex
SexuallyImpotentTyrannosaur
I, too, am a 1 Balled J.
I'm glad she's your ex, you deserve better.
Before I got married. We caught up. She said she was doing fine since her Hells Angles boyfriend was murdered. Bullet Dodged!
Was she acutey? Or did she always have to be right?
Well she is a woman. She always had to be right
footfoe
Chief is bad. Cook steak well done all the time and it's very juicy.
I don't think you understand what juicy is.
full of juice.
No, if you prepare the steak right a well done will still be perfectly juicy. If it's the length of time to cook it thats bothersome then
bitch about that, but for every chef that claims i ruined a 60 dollar cut of steak i say fuck off i paid for it.
BALKatalo
Rare does not mean raw. It means heated through. Blue means still cold, raw.
jmeyers1983
Rare=cool, blue=cold.
jyhwkntx
I wouldn't eat blue meat
AMartianPotato
If the center is heated but not cooked then it's still partially raw, which is what rare is.
Certain proteins begin to cook at room temperature. Classic rare means 120F internal temperature. This is in no way raw.
You've got a good point, I wouldn't called 120F "cooked" but I wouldn't exactly call it "raw" either.
Although, I don't agree with you that some proteins cook at room temp. How would such proteins exist in a 100 degree animal?
Everything changes when the animal dies and the skin is removed. If you keep a piece of meat in a cool, humid room it begins to cure.
Denaturation happens around 105F at the lowest.
BrahminTipper
Where's blue?
You're my boy Blue
jazzy663
I like my meat well done, fite me

Oh I will.

No need, you've probably cooked your soul.

Medium for steak & lamb, medium well or well done for burgers. Relatively safe compared to chicken & pork.
IWillSellMySoulForAPieceOfPie
When I eat out, I'll get medium well for this reason. I worked in restaurants and they're disgusting.
cuntpickles
I was a premie- my immune system is shit (chicken pox 9 times bad) and i still eat my steaks rare to medium rare (depending on the cut)
Just become a vegetarian.
Holy crap no, I love Culver's burgers.
CptBeardBeard
You likely won't catch any illness from a cut of meat as bacteria only lives on the outside. That's why cooking the outside is usually fine.
However, ground meats should always be cooked through, as they've been ground and that surface meats been all mixed in.
darearkin
I will never understand this thing of being all pissy at people for liking their food cooked in a way you don't.
Velexis
It's a waste of money to cook a good steak to well done. You're removing all the tenderness and juiciness.
So? They're not asking you to eat it.
You're still throwing money away for absolutely no gain.
Their enjoyment isn't gain? Boy have I been living my life wrong.
Could get just as much enjoyment from a cheaper cut of meat though
ian1035nr
It's not just food; It's everything. Every possible like or interest has some form if elitism attached to it. It's impossible to escape
StrugglerIndeed
Well, expensive grades of meat are rendered almost tasteless and it takes significantly longer to cook, which sucks for restaurant kitchens.
BeeDragon
I ordered something med well once and the waiter was like "a piece of leather, got it." Uh no.
But on the bright side, at that point you can ask for the manager and get a free entree or something for your trouble
pagliacci323
I ordered something med well once. Brought it well done. Filet mignon! I returned it and requested another correctly cooked. Gave me the ole
"This was the last filet" or "kitchen just closed" and offered the well done at no charge. I said okay. Fortunately it was soft lol.
deskmouse
I know. I love my steak medium, my friend likes hers well done. Who cares, if she likes how it tastes then good for her.
theishist
As a former cook, it only bugs me because when it's well done, that $40 filet now tastes the same as a $10 any-piece-of-beef. Waste of $
icookfoodandfightfire
exactly, im a chef and ive worked in a bunch of places and not a single cook or chef has complained about making steaks well done
Every restaurant I worked at we got pissed. Well-done steaks usually resulted in comments that it was too charred or tough.
Worst I heard was how we were told to cook it. "Just forget it for a while". In a way, they were actually easier
troasface
For the most part, only complaint I hear about well done steaks is the amount of time it takes to cook them. Other than that, no one cares.
The one I see most often is "Oh it kills the flavor so you waste your money." Which... is their money to waste, so...
The cooks at my work will do whatever you want to the food and as long as its paid for (and safe to eat) fuck it.
bestestfester
Depends on the price. Im nit picky at low end places, but if paying bank (which is not often), i would guaranteed expect 1/2
greatness from the chef. Let them know what you want from the beginning if you're a picky fucker 2/2
ralss05
Have you tried a good steak medium rare? If not, you should. It is much better. Take some non pissy advice.
gamer2k4
On the left is a nice cut of meat. On the right is that same piece of meat, well done. Get it now?
You're taking something expensive with potential to be worth that expense, and removing all flavor, texture, and quality from it.
Aviator01
It's a stupid elitist thing, similar to mocking anyone who dares to drink anything but the "best" beer or hardest alcohol.
BeepBoopBlorpSchlorp
Everclear or bust you scrubs.
What, you don't even drink ethanol?
It's not elitist. Different grades and origins of beef have subtle qualities that are eliminated after too much heat.
And you're not the one eating the steak cooked well done. So why bother the customer that does? Does their taste buds directly effect yours?
Because cooking is a craft, an art form when performed at a high level. Yes, it does bother a chef when their craft is sullied.
Except look at all the comments outnumbering you from other chefs saying no one gives a fuck.
Toasterpops
More like...you ordered an expensive item and want it ruined. It's like asking for your ice cream melted, on the floor.
There it is. A good comparison eluded me, but you hit the nail on the head.
Dsharppe
Found the elitist. https://media.giphy.com/media/Fjr6v88OPk7U4/giphy.gif
Lol. Even the eye roll gif didn't tip off the sarcasm? Doods.
If there was a beef shortage, I might agree. But there is not, so why do you have an issue letting those do it their way for their money?
And everyone with taste can make fun of you for wanting to ruin a steak when you clearly just want some ground beef
So again, it's just an elitist thing. It makes you feel superior that you allegedly have a higher quality of life, all because of a steak.
