Meh. If they were *really* good, they wouldn't have to ask.

/medium rare is the truth and the way

I disapprove. They should also be asking "Do you want another steak?"

"Welcome to L'Entrecôte. What temperature would you like your steak?"
-"Yes.. um... there are four people in our party and we'd like to be seated please."
"What temperature would you like your steak?"
-"You're not even a server!"
"ANSWER ME!"

Temperature? Weird. How does that work exactly?

I like a good sear on the outside which leads to a cool, red centre, but I've never actually measured the temperature.

To sum: rare, please.

That's great for the steak, but it in no way helps with my drink order.

FTA: "Your steak comes in two stages, on a relatively small plate: you eat your portion of meat, sauce and fries and then are served seconds."

Ha, ha. Someone didn't RTFA.

Order in Kelvin and biatch at them when they assume you meant Fahrenheit.

Whatever. Head to Greenville, MS for a better meal. Does Eat Place. You can have steak and fries. If you ask what options you have it's steak and no fries. Best damn steak I ever had.

Subby left out a key detail:

"It has no real menu to speak of. There is only salad and steak frites. Some wine to drink and a dessert after. Women in French maid outfits serve the stuff as if they were characters in an early Preston Sturges film."

Pure chewing satisfaction.

Mmmm steak frites. Until you've had fries prepared properly you have no idea what you're missing. I know it sounds silly, but blanching before frying makes a huge difference in taste and texture.

You go off the temperature of the center of the steak. I usually go for a warm pink center (hardy har har).

Two of my favorite responses:

"Knock off the horns and trot it by the fire".

"Rare enough that a good vet could still save it".

I likes me some rare steak.

That's disgusting. Well-done for me. The crisper the better, w/ some A1 or ketchup.

Clearly not, although I agree with some others up thread. the scale should be:

Raw
Rare
Medium Rare
Ruined

My wife used to work as a server and when someone would order a filet well done she'd offer them a burger instead.

Or

Take off its horns, wipe its ass and put it on the plate.
