... In Washington under Trump even so rudimentary an activity as eating has become politicized, weighted with aesthetic and class significance, put under the jurisdiction of social arbiters who declare what is woke and what is haram. “Actually, How Donald Trump Eats His Steak Matters,” proclaims a contributor to Eater.com. “The president of the United States insists that his steaks be cooked well-done. Unfortunately, that’s a big problem.” But why is it a problem, Eater.com? Why should so trivial a detail impress itself on the average person’s consciousness for even a microsecond? Aren’t there far more important subjects that warrant reflection and criticism and debate: health care, trade and tax policy, missile threats, the men and women dropping dead from heroin? ...

I read an article about what food he likes. It talked about his steak choice but also mentioned he loves meat loaf sandwiches. I wonder if he likes BLTs.
When I grew up, my mom always cooked well done steaks. There was no steak sauce—just ketchup, salt and pepper.
When I eat steak and eggs for breakfast, I always cook up a breakfast steak which is much thinner. I always cook those perfectly well done because they are so thin. After I cook the steak, I cook the hash browns in the grease left from the steak. That taste perfection left in the pan from a well done steak is nirvana. With a little added peanut oil, the hash browns are perfectly browned. Next I do over easy eggs and breakfast is ready for that bottle of ketchup and a large mug of jo.
Hint: To get perfect hash browns, I keep baked potatoes in the refrigerator. Once delivered from their skins, cut up and in the fry pan, they fry up crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside.
I had the good fortune to have been born and raised in the West were other traditions were observed. My Grandmother, Fathers side, was a Saint and Gods gift to cooking introduced me to real food.
I've been eating raw hamburger(if it is of good quality) right out of the package or my meat grinder since around 1975. Love it. My wife gags at my eating it that way. Her parents and her prefer shoe leather beef. My parents couldn't eat meat with any pink either. Such is life.
That looks good.

I like mine grilled, medium, with a little salt, and a good amount of pepper and garlic seared into it while it’s grilled. With a baked potato, garden salad, and sautéed mushrooms and onions on the side.
Getting hungry here...
Just sayin'.
I bought a cuisnart eons ago, and steak tartare was in the menu booklet. Yes, I made it once. Didn't care for it.
I do like my steak rare, though, half a notch above blue.
This from people who drink SLOP Starbucks, eat tofu and kale and have grass in smoothies! The man can eat whatever, however, he wants. I, personally don’t understand bleeding meat. Cooking means-cooked! If I wanted bloody meat I’d bite a living cow; but hey,keep your nose outta my plate and I’ll do the same when you pay big $$ for two shrimp on a plate smeared with baby food.
I eat my steak rare, so rare that blood will dribble down my chin when I bite into it.
It takes a flaming hot hickory fire to grill a perfect rare steak.
I would grill Trump’s steak however he wants it. It’s HIS steak!
“The president of the United States insists that his steaks be cooked well-done. Unfortunately, that’s a big problem.”
Sounds like grounds for impeachment/S
I like beef rare, except for prime rib. I like eggs too.
I suspect it's all about media competition for eyeballs. The writer clicked on the story and wrote about it and now we're talking about it.
That's a big win for Eater.com, but are they really being serious or are they just trolling for readers?
Yep, that’s freedom! But only at government approved sites.
Food nazis targeted Milwaukee as the `home’ of the cannibal sandwich, originally called `Hackpeter’ by local German settlers. Very popular in the 1950’s.
Faculty smorgasbords at St. Norbert College in De Pere featured steak tartare. Some guests would pause until Premontre priests had each spoken a blessing over the raw beef, making it sanctified and safe.
Rare steak is the only way for me though a food critic suggested “for the perfect steak, instruct your waiter to stride briskly through the kitchen while waving the steak in the direction of the stove, then serve.”
Makes you go hmm...
Well, at least the zebu parasites are probably endemic like almost everything else there.
So you have that going for you.
The only question i have is if he uses Heinz Ketchup? Now that could get him in trouble. ha ha ha
LoL. I sometimes like my steak well done and topped with ketchup.
Very well done with (LOTS OF) Hunt’s ketchup. That is the only way I would ever think of eating a steak.
This is about as rare as I like it:

Mrs. JohnnyP says that’s still raw. She likes it a little pink. I have to take it to about 155 or 160 for her.
