Anything less than Medium-Well is inedible.

 

[Intheflorsh]

Ketchup is only good on french fires, hamburgers, and hash browns. Otherwise it is completely useless.

 

[hoserx]

Medium rare, closer to rare than medium. Team delicious reporting in.

 

[Junior Mint]

Ketchup does not belong on a hot dog unless you are less than 12 years old. Develop better taste in foods.

Anyone who had better taste in foods wouldn't be eating a hot dog in the first place

What the fuck do you put on a hotdog then?

 

[Almighty]

Medium is the only way to order steak.

 

[Ultimadrago]

It's true. I used to be of the Well-Done pits as well...before I learned better

These years I've been illuminated to Rare of the Medium variety.

 

[KHarvey16]

...but I just like the taste of meat too much.

You mean meat*

Those 75% of Americans above medium-rare are the true deplorables.

Amen. I'm glad I'm in the civilized bracket.

Ketchup is good on anything that anyone enjoys it on. Stop ketchup shaming.

 

[DrkSage]

As long as there no blood, it's fine.

Never.

Sadly a lot of people never get beyond being squeamish, picky children even when they become adults.
It's their lossI suppose.

 

[Vengal]

Some people's intestines become weapons of mass descruction if their meat isnt well cooked. Seems like the older you get the worse it is.

So in that case it comes down to what you value more. Destroying a perfectly good cut of meat or wrecking your toilet.

I think ruining the meat is a worse offense.

Medium rare for life

Mustard is good on a hotdog! It adds without taking away.

how can one panda be so right, and the other be a trump supporter?

Medium Rare is best.

 

[Tertullian]

In Steaktopia, the rare and medium-rare eaters sit the throne, adored by all for their intelligence, surpassing beauty, and unerring good taste.

The medium eaters are the sturdy blue-collar proletariat, unfortunately uncouth, but allowed their meagre pleasures and workaday lives.

The medium-well eaters are the underclass of untouchables.

The well eaters are shot on sight.

The blue-rare eaters are a dangerous but brilliant breed of psychopaths, kept carefully under control but unleashed in times of great need.

 

[McLovin]

Medium rare here. Can't believe it's lower then medium-well...

Your surprised people don't like animal blood?

 

[Pattycakes]

You can't have just mustard on a hotdog though. Ketchup and mustard go together!

 

[frankie_baby]

97.5% of americans dont deserve to eat steak

 

[cpp_is_king]

Remove those bottom 11.7% of people from the earth.

There's no fucking blood in a steak.

 

[Chuckie]

Your surprised people don't like animal blood?

It is not animal blood.

 

[studyguy]

Blue Rare-Well Done please.
I want the outside to be an unbreakable, inedible shell of burnt carbon, but the inside to be uncooked completely, easy enough!

Spoiler

Rare steaks are where it's at.

Is this Arby's now?

 

[HeySeuss]

The ketchup on a hot dog argument is the most baffling thing in the world to me. Hot dogs are already trash food, yet you're trying to tell him to develop better taste in food because of an additional condiment on that trash food?

All beef Frank's from a butcher shop are the best. Not Oscar Mayer crap.

To be fair, regular store bought hot dogs tend to be pretty bland.

I'll grant you this, but I don't eat the cheap kind that you get at the grocery store.

Longhorn is a shitty chain restaurant so I'm not surprised people who go there don't know how to eat steak properly.

Edit: For the record, I agree with HeySeuss's elitist and condescending statement re:ketchup on hot dogs.

My man.

Anyone who had better taste in foods wouldn't be eating a hot dog in the first place

Nah, hot dogs are really good when you buy the right kind.

What the fuck do you put on a hotdog then?

Any combination of mustard, Coney sauce, cheese, onions, relish, tomatoes, hummus, Cole slaw, etc. Chicago style is pretty damn good.

 

[Eusis]

I'm a Well-Doner, throw me in jail for 75 years.

Presidential terms don't go that long though. Thank fuck.

 

[frankie_baby]

Ketchup and english mustard are the best combination on a hot dog

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Sounds about right, honestly. Rare meat is an extreme beloved only by few, but promoted very loudly by its constituents.

One of the more verifiable examples of a vocal minority that I can think of.

That said: the war between how food should be eaten is mostly for fun and nobody should actually care how people eat their steaks. As a victim of steak-shaming, I push for its eradication.

 

[LQX]

We are no longer cavemen. Well done is the only way I can eat burger or steak. I'll take it burnt before I take it rare.

 

[batrush]

well-done master race

 

[Admiral Woofington]

lmao at you fucking babies.

Colombian hot dogs best hot dogs.

that's hot dogs with pink sauce (mayo and ketchup), crushed chips, cheese and either mustard or pineapple sauce.

1v1 me you fucking plain hot dog motherfuckers.

 

[Chezzymann]

Ketchup does not belong on a hot dog unless you are less than 12 years old. Develop better taste in foods.

People who like mustard are inferior and should develop better taste in foods, ketchup is obviously the superior condiment.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

If it's a chain steak place, I go medium every time. I ain't taking no chances, and lots of the time it's "chef's choice" with medium, anyway, and you'll end up getting a medium-rare steak either way. I don't want a bloody steak, and medium-rare means something different to everyone, it seems.

If it's a nice steak restaurant, I'll go medium-rare or just do whatever the chef recommends.

I think we need to take into account certain restaurants don't have great cooks. I love medium rare. But if I go to the roadhouse near me, I'll order medium. And they'll bring out something in between the two. If I order medium rare, I'm cutting into artery lol.

I always order mine medium, but that's because it almost always means it comes out more medium rare.

That could skew these results.

Those well done numbers, though....yeeesh.

I've had the exact opposite experiences at chain restaurants in the past. Steaks are usually overcooked rather than undercooked. Ordering medium-rare means I either get medium or medium-rare.

Or maybe I can't tell the bloody difference between medium-rare and rare sometimes haha.

I started putting aioli on hot dogs and never looked back.


Also rare is the way to go.

 

[BamfMeat]

Can we get a vote on Chicago/Pittsburgh being good/bad?

My go-to order at most places is Chicago Medium Rare, as Chicago as they'll make it.

 

[TheOMan]

lol well done is the pineapple pizza of the steak world and you know it

I...think that's what the post said though.

 

[Poor GRIMES]

Not necessarily an unbiased study since the people who go to Longhorn probably don't know jack shit about good food

 

[Gordon Shumway]

People don't really put ketchup on steaks do they? I mean, ketchup on hot dogs is bad enough, but at least that is somewhat defensible because kids do it. But ketchup on a STEAK???

That dude in the fancy white house that lives in a black neighborhood sure does..

 

[StoneFox]

Always order medium.

Sometimes it comes out medium, other times medium-rare depending on the chef. Both outcomes are good.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Medium Rare is the true way to eat a good steak.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Medium is the lowest I'd go if someone forced me. Medium well is ideal. Well done is good when done right but that's rare as fuck.

 

[Fenderputty]

Zero mention of Blue in this thread

Spoiler

I dont like Blue.

I always ask if rare means "blue" when at a steakhouse. If it does I get rare +. Otherwise rare seems to come out medium rare most times

 

[Tertullian]

I just don't understand how anyone can eat well-done steak. It's so terrible. I don't care how fat the cut was or whatever, the texture and toughness and lack of taste are just awful.

I mean, if someone doesn't want to eat medium-rare steak, I get that. If you're just deathly afraid of E. coli, or you just can't stomach the texture, or whatever. But in that case I'd just get a burger. Half as expensive, and even a mediocre burger is way more edible than a well-done steak.

 

[rjinaz]

We are no longer cavemen. Well done is the only way I can eat burger or steak. I'll take it burnt before I take it rare.

It's actually the opposite. Cavemen cooked their food so they wouldn't get sick. We have higher health standards and therefore don't need to cook our food as much.

We're no longer cavemen. Stop being a caveman!

 

[Ponn]

You want to talk about food outrage, stop putting pineapple on your food you sickos!

 

[Fou-Lu]

I order my steak Rare every time. When I cook it myself I usually go with Blue Rare.

 

[Pattycakes]

What is blue rare?
