I will insist upon eating burgers well-done, but that’s because I know that ground beef has a better chance of containing E-coli, as my sister found out a few years ago. But steaks? I won’t order anything more cooked than medium, because I learned as I grew older that if I want to actually taste the steak I need to have something juicier than shoe leather. So when I hear “well-done and slathered in ketchup,” what I hear is a guy who has no idea what the point of eating a steak is besides how much he’s paying for the experience. Certainly not the taste, because he’s getting none of that in the process.
