I am one of those non-foodies who asks for steaks well done -- and I still don't get why the rest of the world cares. So I don't want to see pink/blood on my meat -- why is that so unsophisticated? Yet every time I'm in a group, someone who isn't a close friend has to comment.

Don't take this as an attack on you. You may want to get something else next time. A well done steak really lack taste. Its like a burnt cookie. The longer you cook a steak, the hotter it gets, and as it heats up, the muscle fibers get firm and all the juices cook out. The result is that the interior of a well-done steak is a uniform gray color, and the steak itself is tough, chewy, flavorless and dry. If you order a steak people think you like steak. So people may think you are inexperienced and some may be insulted by your actions. Also, well done steak orders will sometimes get a lower quality meat or a steak that has sat in the warming tray all for a while....it's not like you will know the difference b/c it's over cooked. If you don't like the pink/ blood(its not blood) in your meat, you don't really like steaks and you should get something the Resturant can prepare properly.[/quote]
