Steak is overrated. There are just much better ways to spend your money on food.

E.g., sushi, quality produce, eggs, herbs, spices etc. Growing up I thought steak was everything but now after traveling and experiencing the world a bit I realize that's just not the case and almost never choose a steak.

I would rather eat steak than sushi, quality produce, eggs, herbs or spices.

You just said Sushi was better than steak. Please dont procreate.

I’ll admit that my love of the sizz is somewhat in jest.

How did you not know someone was eating food off your plate?

I think because he was a big guy and needed more than the food he ordered, so he took some of mine.

I will acknowledge this - many steaks are not cooked well

Explain? Rare is the only way to order at a good steakhouse.

From your original post I assume you appreciate subltelty of taste and variety of flavor

Oh boy. Can't imagine the difference between rare and med rare are significant

Like I said, there it is. The fact that you can't identify the difference between rare and medium rare explains much

A steak from Sizzler > any sushi from anywhere
