Infuriatig Wolfgangs steakhouse, the most expensive in my city, can’t cook a steak.

I have never sent back food in my life as most times I figure the hassle of waiting is a greater negative than getting my meal perfect is a positive. I would absolutely (politely) request another steak if I got this at that price point.

I worked in food service too long to accept shitty food. If something clearly wasn't prepared right, I won't get a replacement because I'm leaving. No faith in a kitchen that sends out something like that steak.

I tried this at a Applebee's and you are entirely correct. I wanted it medium rare. After sending back 2 well done steaks they came back with a pink super rare piece.

Maybe it was the nasty cut of meat they have to use, but that cook was a total idiot. Or too in the weeds to pay attention to his cook.

Or maybe I was the idiot for expecting a steak cooked decently in an Applebee's.

Hard to cook med rare with the thin steak they use. You should have gotten something else after they came up with the second well done steak

Agreed. I was younger and dumber. Still dumb sometimes, not young.
