Summary
A server, Elizabeth Thorne, shared a story about a customer who ordered a medium-rare steak with a pink center, but became upset when she clarified that the restaurant’s medium-rare steak comes with a red center. The customer continued to insist on his original order, despite Thorne’s explanations, and eventually had the steak cooked to medium well. The incident sparked a discussion about the definition of medium-rare steak and how it is cooked.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Medium-rare steak, a culinary staple, is redefined by a customer who thinks it should have a pink center. A server tries to explain, but he gets defensive, and the steak gets sent back…twice. The customer’s embarrassment is palpable, but the server’s patience is commendable.
It’s not about the steak; it’s about the ego.
