BEHOLD!! Proof that if you order your filet mignon prepared anymore than Medium, you will be served the shittiest cut:
EDIT: FPNI My buddy ordered his Medium Well.  Notice the lack of shape and thickness. Perhaps the mutilation ocurred during his attempts to saw that thing in half. Either way, what fail...
 </a>" />
I prefer my steaks prepared Medium Rare. I like steak to taste like steak. It was aged perfectly and just melted in my mouth as it burst with flavor!! 
 </a>" />
Moral of the story? If you want burnt meat, just order the chicken. |
Where did you go. And yes you definitely won that looks like damn good steak.

Quoted: Spot on. I prefer the marbling in a good ribeye for the flavor, and they're just as tender as a fillet. Better, larger, and usually a few dollars cheaper. Quoted: Quoted: If you actually like steak, you never order the filet. It's what girls order. Spot on. I prefer the marbling in a good ribeye for the flavor, and they're just as tender as a fillet.

Filet are 'girly steaks' because they have less fat, but just as tender and lots of flavor compared to a ribeye or porterhouse. It's June, summer is upon us and I want to look good and eat well.

Eating filet to look good in a bikini? I applaud your efforts and your steak.

Something I have noticed about ordering red meat when I dine out, they always, and I mean literally always, cook it one degree of doneness to much (e.g. if you order medium rare it will be medium, etc.). So I always order one degree of doneless less than I want it and almost always get the meat cooked exactly like I want it. But then I rarely eat red meat when we dine out, other than in a hamburger, because it is just stupid expensive. |

I took a lot of pride in hitting all the temps on a ticket correctly and have sent out 80 plate parties with nothing returned many times. Edit: and I did it on much less than $15/hr |

So I always order one degree of doneless less than I want it and almost always get the meat cooked exactly like I want it. Carryover. It's a thing, and not every place accounts for it. If the place is new and I don't know how they run the kitchen, I probably won't order a steak anyhow, but if I do I order it rare. If I know the place, I'll order mr. But still, for the price and the risk, plus how simple it is to cook at home, I'm liable to just do it myself. I can't even remember the last time I paid restaurant prices for a steak. If I go out, I'm ordering something complicated that I don't feel like making all the individual parts for. |

If you actually like steak, you never order the filet. It's what girls order. A lot of guys order filet because they want to show off $$$$$$. Same with the 20+ oz lobster tail that will taste like shit compared to an 8-12. All they care about is whipping out their black amex and impressing people. Those are the best customers |

Quoted:
Eating fat doesn't make you fat. That's an even worse myth than beer gives you a "beer belly." (Hint: It doesn't; it's just carbs, same as any other type of carbs.) but i'm not going to order and eat something that i can't/won't finish. and carbs are not the same as complex carbs. that's why i didn't have the garlic mashed potatoes on the side, but opted for steamed broccoli. either way, should you be arguing with my rationale? |
