-- Uncooked food at restaurants
Pages (2): « 1 [2]

I have a friend that worked in a pretty nice sandwich shop; a customer pissed him off, so when he went to remake the guy's sandwich, he used a knife that fell between the counter and oven, and had been sitting there for 3 days.

I like eating meat fresh off the cow. It is like eating fresh bread straight out of the oven, except the bread doesnt squirt blood onto your face.

Steaks are always cooked differently at different places. Someplaces dont know how to cook a steak and some undercook on purpose. If you go to a reputable steak house (like Peter Lugers in NYC), they will bring the slab, the person serving will wait or come right back to you and get your approval on how its cooked, and whether youd like it cooked more (even Friday's does this - atleast the one I went to last weekend, I was curious to try the steak, for something mass marketed, it wasnt bad at all).

good restaurants are there to treat you...dont be a pussy take the damn steak back..they'll actually appreciate it if they're a good steakhouse knowing they need to cook their other customers steaks longer so it doesnt end up like the rare one

I always have my steak medium rare only peasants have their steak well done, the type of people who put ketchup on a roast dinner.

Ketchup on roast beef!!! ewwwe

Well done beef just tends to 'wreck' the meat a little, makes it too tough, flavourless and chewy. But basically I've never had a problem with sending stuff back to a resteraunt if it's not done how I want it.

I've seen a chav family in a pub do it, I thought what a load of barbaric tramps.

Totally it ruins the taste also you need to let the meat settle as well. I've had beef so well done it was literally unedible due to how chewy the meat was.

Buy it fresh from the butcher you can trust, age it for 2-3 days in the fridge before you serve it (or freeze it) and then be careful how you cook it, medium heat. A lot of stoneage cretins at time just basically throw a flamethrower at it and incinerate the steak on the plate, no! no! no!
Seal the sides once on high temperature and ease off the heat back to medium and take your time otherwise its just going to be a dogs breakfast.

My brother got through college as a waiter. One guy came in one night & when asked how he wanted his steak said "cut it's head off, wipe its arse and put it on a plate for me please"

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Gross but funny....

i went to bonefish grill a while back.. i ordered steak med.. it came out seared on the outside but raw all in the middle. I sent it back 3 times and the doneness never changed. I finally asked was the grill on.

I have the opposite problem, I always order my steak rare. What I've found is typically they seem to overcook it assuming you don't really want it rare and what I get is medium, which is totally ruined for me and I send it back. I've started telling the waitress that I want it still cold in the middle, that tends to get the point across that I actually want a rare steak.

That's happened to me before, at other restaurants. After the second time, I just gave up - told them to send it back, and have it taken off my bill.

My best advice is to order a steak medium-well and a burger well-done. Around nine times out of ten, it's cooked correctly.
