Certain restaurants I go to I think the chef intentionally cook my food to a rare temperature. Is it insulting to ask for something well done? You're not eating it, just cook the food buddy and let me pay for it! I don't care what grade your tuna is, I want that fish crispy - not like you give me the bill and I say, nah, I don't want to pay 78 dollars, I think you would rather I pay 46. Thanks.

I'm not speaking specifically about fish - that was just a common example. And again, some of your answers just go to show that you just don't get it. You aren't paying for my food, your job is to cook it, my job is to eat and pay for it. You do yours I'll do mine. I'm not being ignorant either, and if they didn't teach you in your culinary schools, the customer is always right.

The only way I can explain that phenomenon is by asking, " Why dry out all the juices of a succulent, prime-grade steak when you can save money and eat your leather shoe?! Yes, it is an insult to order your steak medium-well/ well-done. Chef's painstakingly seek out top-quality steaks to serve in their restaurants. Here's the cherry on top: Most chefs have been known to reserve lesser quality cuts of meat for those patrons requesting an "over-cooked steak". It's a cardinal rule taught in culinary school. You cook a medium well or well done steak, you fail.

Those of us who took the time and spent the money to go to good culinary schools and after we graduated went to work for fairly long hours and low wages as we worked our way up the food chain, did so for one reason : We care deeply about creating and serving the highest quality food possible. Unless you've actually worked in a commercial kitchen you haven't got a clue as to how much skill is involved in creating and serving consistently great food.
So when a server comes back and says " Hey Chef I hope you don't mind but there's this AO that wants this perfectly gorgeous piece of tuna murdered . I hope you don't mind " Damn right I'm going to be mad. I care more about what you're eating than you do.
If you want to eat consistantly mediocre food why pay quality restarant prices ?

just watch out if you have seen some videos that show the cook spitting on the food to show you just how mad it made him to come back to him. I saw that on tv hidden camera also saw a bar tender peeing in a drink. if i'm paying fix it the way i want it if you pay for it then you can fix it the way you like

because all the smells intertwine even as they cook dinner and scent sturdy. it truly is not any longer not straightforward to make nutrients scent sturdy. it truly is harder to make nutrients style sturdy. my associates are comprehensive chinese i trust doubt they got here from u . s . a . yet their homestead is a comprehensive pig sty. theirs crap they convey homestead from artwork throughout their the front backyard and back backyard and it truly is all damaged such issues as tables, refrigerator, washing machines,etc.. yet specially situations even as they're cooking it smells truly sturdy. yet i really doubt it tastes that sturdy. why? basically walk infront of their door step and also you may understand why theirs craps everywhere which incorporates lifeless flowers/animals decaying like fish. Im particular they don't shop at a actual food market both besides the undeniable fact that the community china city and each body in my state is acquainted with the china city isn;t very sturdy for groceries because it truly is been time-honored to carry rats and it truly is not even that tasty. that being suggested do not enable the smells fool you.

It's just too sad for us to ruin that beautiful tuna...it's so much better not cooked and it's safe(at least where I work.). Sorry, we have nothing against you. If you like fully cooked fish, I recommend salmon, tilapia, trout, flounder because they stay moist after cooking. Tuna becomes just too dry.
I'm a chef.

Because idiots in this country assume their way is the only way. Some food tastes best not cooked at all! We're so freaked out about germs and such, we forgot how to live.....

Why don't you just eat at the Sizzler if you like your food that way?
You would save a lot of money and not get aggravated.

Tis better to undercook than overcook. you can always put back on the heat if its undercooked. if its overcooked your screwed.
