re: How many times do you flip your steak?

theres a way to speak to someone and get your point across without being rude, i'm sure he's civilized enough to know the difference, but I don't know him as well as you.

I feel ya, but it really just depends on the company you're with. There are a lot of people out there who don't even think about food... what they eat, what is in it, how it is prepared, etc.

In certain company, even the most gentle request when it comes to your food can be perceived wrong. Especially if the emphasis is on enjoying the company, and food is secondary.

I can think of very few people I'd feel comfortable stepping in and correcting while they're preparing dinner. I mean, stepping up to say you like med-rare is one thing. Stepping up to say you're allergic to X item is one thing. But stepping up and saying "Uh, can you not flip my steak so many times?" is ... teetering the line.
