Steak
"Wipe its nasty ol' ass, lop its horns off, and put it on my plate." (or something like that)
Medium rare has always been my choice, but I'm finding too many places don't know how to cook that, so I've been ordering medium more often to balance their lack of skills.

I prefer "Pittsburg Style" which is bloody as hell but burnt on the outside, and just plain-ol-rare is just fine too, but
1. The only place I've gone that consistently did a Pittsburg/rare steak correctly is Mancy's in Toledo, and
2. I am so sick of getting screwed up steaks that I almost never get steak in a restaurant, any more.
I hate spending $20 on a piece of meat that isn't as good as what I can make at home on my grill with a $6 piece of meat from the butcher shop.

Yeah, i can't understand anything more than medium, and even that's a stretch.GORDON wrote:So far, there are 4 of you who eat steak but don't like the taste of steak. Fascinating.

Me: I like steak
Some girl: me too!
Me: Oh, you should definitely try the filet here then.
girl: OK
(time passes, it's time to order)
girl: I'd like mine medium well.
Me: I thought you liked steak?

Local DJ was talking about a customer buying a steak and complaining that is wasn't rare. Finally the chef came out and they were arguing over what was rare. The chef finally said, "Sir, a good vet could still save that animal."

I've only once in my life sent back a steak that was too rare. When I told the waitress that there was no way I could eat a piece of steak that was still pink ON THE OUTSIDE, she said, "Oh, I thought you ordered it double rare." I had ordered it Pittsburgh-style rare. She hadn't heard of it so made something up.
It was pink on the outside and cool to the touch. Too rare even for me.
That's one of the 2 reasons I only order Pittsburgh in serious steak houses.
