OK, I apologize up front. This got a bit long, so you might want to just
hit the "delete" key now. :-)
Before I decided I wanted to be a photojournalist, I wanted to be a chef.
I got fairly close to that before I decided I didn't want to be a chef.
I worked in some fairly high end places, keeping in mind that I was working
in a small city in the middle of nowhere.
While we "offered" steaks cooked to order, we also cringed every time a
steak was ordered well done.
Believe it or not, well done is just about the most difficult to cook, not
because it is hard to cook the crap out of a slab of beef, but because one
never knows in advance if the person wants it cooked until it is just no
longer pink in the middle, or if he wants it cooked until it resembles the
sole of a shoe, and this customer was often an unadulterated prick, which
was apparently the case of the British friends that my acquaintance took to
Golf's Steak House.
