    I’m prepared for the hate but there’s something real nostalgic about shitty cuts cooked to hell like this for me. Reminds me of old family reunions with fifteen uncles swarming the single grill, “yeah, that one’s done.” Medium rare, rare for anything nicer than a sirloin tho

      People are allowed to like their food cooked however they want it. There is no objective standard for how something tastes.

      The very first time I ordered steak, I was asked how I wanted it done. As I was a child, I had no clue what that meant. I was told the names of how you could cook steak without knowing what they meant. I settled on “well done” because I wanted them to do a good job of cooking it.

      I ate my steak well-done for probably 30 years after that. I now like it medium, but I still will enjoy a well-done cut. There’s no need for anyone to be a snob about it.

        I’m a big proponent of letting people do whatever the hell they want as long as it doesn’t involve someone who isn’t consenting. Gay sex? Cool. Well done steak? Sure. Country music? If that’s what you’re into.

        For really good cuts I’m a rare guy. But the way you eat your steak has absolutely no effect on my enjoyment of my steak.

          Country music rocks, I never understood the hate. Bruce Springsteen Nebraska, Johnny Cash, Willie Carlisle, etc. are all great acts. I honestly see the “anything but country” crowd as a horseshoe-theory proof to the “anything but rap” boomer argument

            I actually love loads of old country and a bunch of really new country. When I talk shit like that it’s about whatever the fuck was happening with pop country in the 90s, bro country, and whatever the fuck all the rah rah 'murica shit that’s been happening since 2001.

            Willie, Waylon, Cash, Jones, Carlisle, Parton, Mandrell, Rondstadt, and Lucinda Williams are national treasures. Nebraska is one of the best albums ever released.

            On the newer side, you have folks like Childers, Amigo the Devil, Whiskey Myers, Jason Isbell, Drive By Truckers, and a bunch of others who are out there doing amazing work.

            But if someone wants to enjoy Toby Keith, Florida Georgia Line, Zach Brown, Garth Brooks, or Shania Twain that’s their business. That don’t befront me long as I get my money next Friday.

        Yea, I like medium-well personally. I can cook it so it doesn’t get dry and chewy though. If your steak comes out like the op it’s a skill issue.
