Well done= rare

Medium=raw

What happens when you order it rare? Does it moo.

What I don't get is, say, at VIPs, they actually have pictures and confirm your order 2-3 times. And it's still wrong....

I have only eaten steak at VIPS once, and I had to send it back to cook it more. It might be a trend, it might not...

In your 3 times, how many times did it happen?

[crusher_of_heads]

Sorry, I was with my coteacher all 3 times.

All 3 times, mine was exactly what I asked for 1 time rare, 2 times medium well

All 3 times, she had to get hers sent back --> medium every time, not cooked enough


Sorry about that.

In reality, the garbage you're eating sat frozen in a container en route from AUS and can't be served well-done cause the quality of the meat is simply inferior most likely due to ice burns or the second-rate aussie heffer it came from.

I'd take a cheap USDA round top steak any day over the sh it offered here but thank god I've finally acquired a taste for pork.

A diatribe from a major meat eater in serious withdrawal ....

KORFTA anyone??

A couple of my friends like their steak 'blue.' I'd love to see how they would interpret that in Korea.

The one and only time I ordered a steak at TGIFriday's in Jamshil (the one in the Golden Castle building) was 3/4's gristle. Both Sizzler and VIP's are better, in my experience.

The last steak I ordered at Bennigan's came out raw. I had ordered medium. The waiter looked at my raw steak and said, "That is medium. If you wanted it pink in the middle, you should have ordered well-done."

i have cooked in restraunts for years and have generally found customers have no idea what kind of steak is what.The only steak thats not goin to have red meat is well done .People always assume blood is uncooked .Ive hurled tongs at the wall because sum loser keeps asking for med rare but doesnt want it bloody

[Thunndarr]

I'm sure that's true, but when you use the restaurant's own guidelines to order, you shouldn't be made to feel as if you were the one who made a mistake.

In my case, here is what I ordered:



Here is what I received:



And here is what I was told I should have ordered if I wanted the steak in the first picture:



Incidentally, if the second picture is, according to my waiter, medium, then I imagine rare that day would have looked something like this:
