“Every chef and every restaurant has it’s own ‘scale’ of what done-ness..........”
Le Cordone Bleu would not agree and some restaurants will tell you what the inside temperature has to be in order for them to legally serve it to you. I forget what that amount of degrees Fahrenheit actually is but I’ve had it told to me when ordering me at certain restaurants that we cook it to a 100 and something other degrees. Some areas have health codes & statutes regarding the issue for restaurants.
We eat out fairly regularly and places like Outback, Chili’s, Ruby Tuesdays all have seemingly different ideas about what a medium steak is.
Some places it’s near rare and some it’s near burnt..............
