How do you like your burger and steak done?

I have seen that movie several times. That really happens.

It shouldn't happen...As a Chef, there is NO reason to mess with someones food...I have worked with Chefs who have and I thought it was disgusting. The kind of thing were if someone will ask for something spicy, the Chef will say "Oh yeah? Here you go!!!" and make it CRAZY spicy out of spite...Not cool..

I'm talking about 16-20 year olds. You can never tell what they will do.

And I personally didn't but I saw a lot of stuff in the 2 years I worked there.
I couldn't eat at restaurants for a long time after working there.

I spent 10 years in an Applebee's kitchen and I saw it happen a few times. Like LongtimeRams said, it shouldn't happen, but the truth is it does. I don't think it's widespread or anything, but it happens. Most of the instances I encountered happened when a table would walk in at closing time and the kitchen was just about clean and the cooks had one foot out the door. They would get so pissed.

I worked in other casual dining spots and 2 or 3 fine dining establishments and I would say that it is rare in the more upscale places. The chefs/cooks in those places take pride in what they are doing, as opposed to a minimum wage cook just there to get a paycheck.

True story, on our first date, my now wife and I met up at a steak place for dinner. I love steak rare, so when they brought it out and I cut into it, she just looked at it, looked at me and said;

" A good vet can still save that cow"

I've seen it too...I briefly worked for a Chef who when a customer ask for extra spicy on a dish, his reply to me was "I'll show them for asking for that" and made it SO spicy, it was inedible...When it was sent back, the asshole Chef had the balls to act like it wasn't his fault, that he gave them what they asked for...

You do something spiteful in a top restaurant and chances are you won't be there long...

I have never sent anything back since working there.

Yep. Eat it or just don't eat.

Can you eat a rare burger (safely)?

One of the less thought about consequences of eating rare ground beef is the fat content of the beef. Eating a rare burger with a high fat ratio can cause you to shit your guts out violently which would be better than contracting something but still, diarrhea usually strikes at the worst time.


...

...You know I guess its a matter of perspective with diarrhea and when it strikes. If its me, its always the worst time but anyone else dealing with it...it is absolute comedy gold!






(now I wait to see if I successfully directed the thread towards shitting or not)

 

[Shaggy]

Burger- Medium (but I can and will eat medium well or even well done, but it's not preferred)

Steak- Medium (I will not eat any other type of steak, so don't even bother)

Exactly how I like it to, but I can never have a burger well or well done, yuck!

The other night, Chef Ramsey sent a girl packing because she knew she had under cooked some chicken so she through in a red sauce to hide it. He was pissed. You don't mess with peoples food.

To the op, for me it has to do with where I'm eating. My preference for steak is rare, but no way am I ordering a rare steak unless I know the place. When I'm cooking a steak, I like it purple on the inside and burnt on the outside. Lots of heat.

Burgers....I always order medium unless I'm doing the cooking and then I'll go with medium rare.

I have a hard time getting y burgers to come out medium rare, they seem like they go from raw to well done in under 60 seconds with nothing in between.
