    I always eat a rare steak, blood tastes good! But yeah... I can understand sending food back if it's not prepared correctly, but I would hate to eat out with someone who was very hard to please. I'm also the type of person who will eat it if it looks good, regardless.

    I am kind of a picky eater...mostly because certain foods will kill me because of my condition(or at the very least I'll feel like I am dying)

    So if I order something specific..theres a reason and if it isnt right i will send it back. I'll send it back once. If it STILL isnt right I'll tell them to take it away and take it off the bill. I wont try for a third mistake.

    I totally agree..I have several food allergies and I'm always sending food back. Unfortunately some people don't listen..If I eat out I expect the food to be better than what I can prepare for myself at home and to not be sickened by it..It's been hell since I've been here in Hawaii, I have a food reaction at least twice per week and that sucks.

    I don't think I have ever sent food back. At least not that I can remember. I guess my solution is a bit less forgiving: I don't bother to give them the chance to fix it. I just don't go back.

    At least she ate SOMETHING! I've been with several girls that made me wonder how they survived. They wouldn't eat seafood, pork, most veggies, potatoes, beans, etc. It's like they live on chicken and water. I think I liked the last girl I dated so much because she ate more than I did. The picky girl eating only salad on dates wears thin. Now if she sent it back because it was dissatisfying, ok. If she was a douche-bag about it, not ok. I wouldn't deal with that. I'm of the thinking that how someone treats staff is very important and telling.

    I'll expand a bit on Will's sage advice.

    First, you want to go to a premier steakhouse like Morton's or the former V Steakhouse in NYC. You want USDA Prime Angus or Kobe beef aged about two weeks.

    Your safest bet on cooking is to go with "medium rare." "Medium well" sucks all the life out of the meat, and "well done" is a federal crime in some states. You might as well use them to pave your driveway.

    A caution on "rare." Depending on the steakhouse, "rare" could mean anything from slightly warm to "moo." You know, where the cow gets up and walks right off the table.

    For wine, try the 1985 or the 2001 Rooche Barolo (Castiglione Falleto), decanted at tableside. It opens up wonderfully at about 30 minutes.

    To order in classy fashion, I'd suggest something along these lines:

    For dress, I'd go a little more flashy:


    Or the classic black:


    For shoes, let's go with the Miu Miu Deco Patent Platform for the red dress (yeah I know, too much shoe and the pink doesn't match the brilliant red in the dress, but I thought they were pretty cool):




    And the Prada Crystal-Heeled Slingback Sandal for the classic black dress:

    I don't like steak but there is no excuse for any adult to chuck a fit over any service whether it's at a restaurant or shopping centre. People who do that have no class whatsoever. There is no need to be rude to the server.

    I am fussy with food but I have never sent back a meal. I have found hair in my meals before and just pulled it out and eaten around it. Im not going to wait for it to be cooked again.

    Also to the OP I cannot believe you waited for her meal to come to eat!! She was a rude bitch so you should have finished your meal and left her at the restaurant to wait for hers LOL.

    I have nothing to say on the steak issue, except a reminder: vegetarians taste better!

    And yea--I wouldn't make a big issue out of food on the first date. (Once this guy at a Greek place ate a LAMB GYRO and chunks were falling out of it as he ate.....that was effed up even for a non preacher like myself)

    TOTH, honestly, you really don't want to get either of us started, because we have a tendency to run on endlessly and never stop. We are writers who get hyped up in screaming extacy like rats on crack. I'm really only about 75% James Bond; the other 25% is Hunter S. Thompson. On a good day.

    We've tried to take a bit of a hiatus recently, allowing Mast and Rose to take center stage, Kat to catch us all up on her sex life, Djoser to slap down every guy who is not "in the industry" and Sh0t to assure us everything we believe is dead wrong. But there is an historical record of Nicolina's amazing writing grace and her endlessly endearing generosity:

    Decanting has two purposes. With older red wines (15 years or older), it's designed to separate the wine from the sediment that accumulates over time. With newer wines, it also has enormous benefits of aeration to allow oxygenation, which smoothes out some of the harsher tannins and softens the wine.

    Sweetheart, they are only $750 a pair. What is your size? If you are confident in your sizing, I can have them shipped to you. The best part is the array of crystals on the back of the heel itself.

    One can be infinitely more classy by eating other things on the late night menu.

    Well, there is usually concurrent jurisdiction between the state and federal courts, with a few notable exceptions.

    Think of a couple of guys grilling steaks in Grand Canyon National Park. If they end up torching the South Rim lodge, or despoiling a perfectly formed steak, it's a federal law that they've violated, not Arizona state law. Since not all states have National Parks or federally-protected lands, they've committed a federal crime within a state, and will be prosecuted in US Federal Court. Hence the comment about "federal crime in some states."

    OK, that may be fine and dandy in a household, but what the fuck is the matter with wanting my food exactly the way I want it in a restaurant? I pay hard earned money for food the way I want it! Why should I pay for something if it isn't the way I want it???

    I can't stand rare steak (gasp so unclassy) and would probably ask them to cook it a little longer if it was too bloody for my taste. But only if it was inedible for me. If it came back a bit well done I would chalk it up to crapolla restaurant and not go there again and eat the damn thing.

    I don't think there is anything wrong with sending food back if there is something wrong with it or its not what you asked for, but to repeatedly send things back on a first date? I would be more worried about the impression I was making than eating slightly charred steak.

    I guess I join the unclassy group myself. I only eat any meat well, no red at all. I can handle some pink but if I am eating steak and it has red in it I think it is the nastiest taste ever. No offense intended to the rest of you but just stating my preference.
