A well-done steakhouse

People who have gone out to dinner with me know I like good meat and I like it rare. In our search here for a good steakhouse we decided to go to a fancy place called Porterhouse. At least, it looked fancy and the prices were fancy. I got their signature steak for $36 and ordered it bleu as usual. That usually means slap it on the grill till the outside looks a bit brown and then serve it. The test is to see if they know the term bleu. If they don't, ask for medium. Anyway, 3 steaks were ordered, 2 bleu and one medium. All came out well-done. We complained and sent them back. Now I know the story so far does not seem that interesting but when we drove by the place last weekend and saw the following I just burst out laughing.


I call this a shining example of the dangers of overcooking steaks. Let this be a warning to other steakhouses out there. No wait, that sounds wrong. It wasn't me! I've got an alibi. Maria? Maria?........
