Tonight I was at a fairly upscale restaurant. I ordered my steak blue. It arrived a charitable medium rare. When I told the Maitre'd he (i) told me it was blue, (ii) told me it was the lighting, (iii) shone a cigarette lighter on it to prove that it was the lighting (!!), (iv) brought me into the kitchen to show it to me in 'proper lighting'. Once in the kitchen, I said to the chef, 'I want it blue blue' and he said 'okay'. I know most people who say 'blue/rare' mean medium. So, my question is: what do I have to say to the serving person to convey to the chef that I really DO mean 'blue'? Is there anyway of ordering a blue steak without going into the kitchen, looking the dude in the eye and saying 'I like raw'?
