Well that goes for a good burger too. It's gotta be a little pink.

I'm not really talking about grilling it at home. I'm talking about highly rated steakhouses. Most of the time, I still enjoy the burger more especially at a good place that really knows how to do it.

My brother worked with people who had to do that to tell if they cooked them properly.

Also, I went to the Machine Shed (Quad Cities...representin') a couple months back to have the "famous" double cut pork chop that I saw on a Travel Channel show...yup, totally cut into, and totally dry.

A steak at a top steakhouse is gonna run $50-plus.

I remember someone on this board recently who stated that you should only eat ground beef well done. Who wants to eat a well-done burger?

While I prefer my burgers to be a little pink, I'm not going to get up in arms if I get a burger that's well done in the way that I would if someone tries giving me a steak that's even the slightest bit past medium.

Maybe a bone in filet or a tomahawk ribeye... something off the beaten path.

I would have said that if you didn't grind the meat yourself or talked to the guy who did.

Yeah. If it is big enough it may be but you can get a high quality steak for under $50 pretty much everywhere.

I try to grill steaks for my extended family on mother's and father's day. I invariably get someone sheepishly asking to either cook it well done or if we have any ketchup... Sweet Jesus, I'm offended if you ask for steak sauce and now you want ketchup for a steak?!?!

In Iowa, I'm not even sure if I've ever seen a 50 dollar steak on a menu.

Shoot them.

That's part of the reason I don't like steak, it has to be pink. A pink burger grosses me out and I will hurl. Whoever said it worked at a slaughter house I think.

Perry's was good...I wish they'd change their menu a little, then we'd probably think of going more.

A well done burger is just as unappetizing as an overcooked steak.

It will sound weird, but I'm just not a huge fan of plain cuts of meat without anything else. Pork chops, chicken breasts, steak... I'd much rather have a sandwich or tacos or a preparation that includes the meat in something else. I like a variety of flavors all at once. But in terms of just pieces of meat, prime rib is my fav.

Not to me.



I'm a sauce or au jus person.

I grilled like 4 pounds of flank steak for a party and I had to ask my wife and another person if it was cooked enough since it was too rare for me to want to eat. Maybe I should eat more steak so I know how it should look.

In the future, the key seems to be to cook two of them with one staying on the grill for a while longer. Then you let them pick and choose which parts they want.

Yes. If eating plain meat, I need a sauce or something. Though there are many places, especially in the South, where they have denied my request for A1. I will politely tell them that I'm not paying for the meal if I don't get it. They will get it.

One of my best friends and colleagues lives in Texas and was once a professional chef. He makes the best steaks I've ever eaten, and he makes his own salsa, which he sells to many restaurants. When I'm down there, we will also typically go out to a Texas steakhouse. The weird part is he eats KETCHUP AND RANCH on his steaks. It is the strangest thing for a guy who is sort of a food snob.

I love ranch but to echo what Lipid said... Shoot him. It's TX, so you'll probably get away with it.

Not really all that surprising. I've never really had a "great" steak in the south (incl. Texas).
