That can go both ways. If a chef is so horrified over what the public likes to eat then he can find another fucking career.

I’m tired of chefs being called Chef like they’re a fucking doctor or something. No wonder they have massive egos.

They’re a chef at a restaurant where they’re hired to cook specific food items to how a customer wants it cooked, temperature and customization-wise. It’s not their own private kitchen at home.

I don’t even know. They just have this thing. They even put up billboards bragging about it entering the city. The funny thing is, they don’t even grill their hotdogs! They just boil them. So they don’t even make a very good hotdog, and then they force you to eat it “their way” only. It’s insane!

1) How about you prepare the food the way the customer wants it done without comment since they’re giving you good money, you wank?

i’m just tired of chefs being treated like gods.  i’ve worked with plenty & they’re just cooking food.

And I don’t care. I’m wacky this way but I like my food to be cooked and not to be bleeding into my broccoli and potatoes.

This entire article can fuck off. Let people eat meat the way they want it, Jesus Christ. And for the record, rare meat has a fucking disgusting, rubbery texture and is impossible to fucking chew. Get over yourselves, steak snobs, and get a fucking life.

“We’re bad at making well done stake.” Would be more honest.

“Stop. Just stop. It’s my dog, not yours. Either put ketchup on it, or cancel my order. There are enough hot dog joints in this city that I can walk out of here and get my dog within ten minutes.”

Yes, I’ve used that line on a number of places in Chicago when I ask for ketchup on my dog.

Look its ok if you can’t cook a well done steak. It takes some skill, most people like you will over cook it. 

i found that “order chicken” graphic to be obnoxious.  does a chef have the right to tell you what you like & don’t like?  join us back on earth, chefs, it’s JUST FOOD!  for god’s sake, you’re not curing cancer or writing a symphony, you’re cooking someone lunch.  get over yourselves.  sheesh!

“I have and will always cook steaks to well done,” chef Danny McCallum of Jacobs & Co. Steakhouse in Toronto tells The Takeout. “If a guest wants it well done, then that is how they shall get it, without prejudice. As I see it, you are paying, you can have it however you like. I cook steaks to well done on a nightly…

Any chef that can’t grill a well-done steak isn’t worth their salt. I’ve had well-done where the meat was still juicy and flavorful. I can do it. Can you?

If you can’t cook a juicy well done steak you can’t cook. 

No it is not. Sous vide is a cooking process. Asking for something that is cooked to be cooked more is not literally like ordering something that is specifically served raw and then asking the server to take it back and cook it because it was too raw.

Requesting something that is cooked be cooked further is not literally like ordering something that is specifically served raw and then asking the server to take it back and cook it because it was too raw. 

I completely agree. I’m just pointing out that the reasoning is flawed. There’s nothing about the sous vide preparation that prevents them from being able to cook it further. 

They don’t want to cook a steak well done because it takes more time and attention to do it without making it a hockey puck. Since they don’t agree with how you’ve ordered it they just don’t care.

I know the crux of this article is about the steak, but this caught my eye:
