I guess we can now add "Rogue nearly killed Katt" to things that'll send him into epic denial.

If you can find a chef that can do it right, it's the only way to go.

Because only psychos eat well done steaks.

Hey, if you want to be kept, you have to meet certain standards. You… do not meet those standards.

No sugar momma would want an uncultured brat like that. You couldn’t take her anywhere.

In these times of easily posted customer reviews, there is way too much at risk. Also Wagyu is hella overpriced for the experience. There are a few places that will have it, but only a person who trains to be gourmet food critic could possibly appreciate it to the degree that would warrant paying that price. I was at an Alexander’s like one day before the lockdown hit and I couldn’t justify the wagyu because I couldn’t even decide what the right source was for what I would appreciate. I would have just gotten it to say I got it.

Because you won’t listen to coming sense, so it’s a waste of time.

Charring isn’t flavor, it’s future cancer. But seriously, like GunStar said, what would a serious chef benefit by giving you an overcooked steak? The worst you can say is that your beef is too juicy and the minute you put that on a review, you’ll get laughed at for being uncultured. Whereas if the chef entertained your ridiculous request, all she gets out of that is entertaining a fool who couldn’t begin to appreciate her quality work. Personally, if you ever asked me to cook you a well done steak, I’d just open a bag of Obertos and plate it with sauce cup full of Tabasco. Then I’d charge you $30.

You never worked at real steakhouse, though. Even a chain like Ruth's Criss or Morton's isn't going to waste time catering to customers who want well done steaks. There's no point. At that temperature, the meat loses all of its juice; it's flavorless outside of whatever charring is on the outside, and no steak preparation (peppercorn, season salt, etc.) or sauce is designed to make up for it. A Yelp review from someone complaining about an "undercooked" steak is infinitely better than a review complaining about tasteless meat.

Hey, I get it. I mean, I can’t run my Plex server without physical DVDs and Blu Rays to Handbrake.

Well, no. That’s literally dealing from the bottom of the deck. The dealers know the rules, so they don’t really have to resort to counting cards. The odds might slightly favor the player, but not enough to not make it worthwhile.

Yeah, but you probably won’t get a well done steak at a steakhouse. There’s nothing in it for them to cater to customers who eat well done steaks.

I still say he was flirting.

@naraku360, it you think Black Jack is rigged, you’re either doing it wrong or you’re doing some back alley shit. Granted, you’re not going to make bank playing, but, if you follow the rules you’ll usually make money without needing to card count. At worst, you won’t lose much. It’s got the best odds of any casino game.

I can only imagine the mix of immense relief and regret this entails. You went above and beyond to keep that promise.

That is what I like to hear, my man.

But will you see him?

Ghosty ain't taking any shit.

How goes the butchering?

I feel like we’ve peeled back another layer of the onion…..

I dunno Doomy. Not sure why it would occur to you to troll a clerk over the amount to prepay on your card to fill up. That doesn't seem like a worthwhile attempt at a troll unless you're flirting with clerk, and she's just going to give you the stink eye if you try it. Also, not sure why everyone is going on about the size of the tank. It's not the size of the tank that matters, it's the amount that you need to fill it which should never ever be the tank's total size. I would assume you can guess at how much you need based on what the gauge says and what you've needed in the past to fill up from that point.

Do you also cough randomly?

You know only psychos eat well done steaks, right?

To say the very least.
