  As a child, I wasn't given a choice for my temperature preference. After years of incarceration, finally, at the age of 28 years old, I was asked, "How do you take your steak?" I had no answer. A chef asked me to trust him, and I experienced a mid rare ribeye and was blown away.

  About 30 years ago, I cooked at a large hotel in New Orleans. We had a 700 person banquet for a Black Southern Baptist convention. They ordered prime rib. The chef sent it out medium rare, and I'll never forget one of the cooks running into the kitchen screaming, "Chef, what are you doing? You can't be serving brothers all this bloody meat!" Sure enough, every single plate came back, and it was paniced chaos trying to recook 700 pieces of meat.

  My parents are from Mexico and grew up in a poor Pueblo. They like their meat fully cooked well done. The reason is because they think it’ll get you sick if you eat anything pink. They didn’t grow up with fridges so they had to make sure all their food was safe.

  This brotha got the black McDonald's commercial voice from back in the day "2 all beef patties, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles on a sesame seed bun just the way you like"

  My Mexican mom cooked steaks well done. When I was 20 I had my first medium steak. Changed my life. My mom tells me now as an adult "You grill a lot. You didn't like steak as a kid"...  should I tell her? LOL

  People don’t know what they like, they like what they know.

  Almost every person who tells me that they don't like steak, admits to me that they always have it well done.

  Middle School football team went to Steakhouse before the big game. Normally we could only get the buffet, but this week we could order off the menu. So we all ordered steaks. I ordered mine well done. The waiter brought everybody's food, my steak looked like a hockey puck. It  tasted like shoe leather too. Everybody else had ordered nothing more than medium well. My friend let me have a slice of his medium rare steak. That was the day I learned that nobody in my family could cook. I haven't looked back

  I’m Native American, most of our elders eat well done steak 🥩 my dad once told me they didn’t risk getting sick by raw meat. And they love the charred fat with some salt 👍🏽
