What does pride have to do with cooking a steak to order?

A "well done" steak is a ruined steak, eaten only by those who are either ignorant to the joys of a properly cooked steak or are too squeamish to stand the sight of water mixed with a touch of myoglobin when they cut into their food.

As such, I don't blame someone who refuses to serve a steak ruined by overheating anymore than I would blame someone for refusing to serve a steak ruined by drowning it in tomato paste.
