    Sounds like a great way to ruin a delicious cheesecake.

    Confession, It's Emerille Lagasse's New Orleans Cheesecake. Look on food network.com. I do make a couple of modifications to the standard recipe but the goat cheese is in the original recipe.

    I wonder if these charts would apply to a 1/2 inch thick steak..

    Still one of the greatest threads I've been a part of to date.
    Regardless of the topic, it’s never great to run off new forum members. Fear of posting due to bashing was brought up as a reason that people don’t participate more on this forum.

    Sushi is delicious. There's no texture issue there as far as I'm concerned. Not like you'd think with raw chicken or pork (yuck). 
    Sushi is amazing.  If I could have dinner anywhere in the world tomorrow it would be at Sukiyabashi Jiro, no questions asked.  Anything else would be a very distant second.

    FWIW , I get people being squeamish about eating uncooked Protien ( especially ground) and would never try to convince someone to try... but realize it's not something from the grocery store and is prepared by an " Artisan " ( for a lack of better words AKA my grandpa) and without a doubt some of the best food I have ever eaten even with all the great protien we see here everyday

    Nothing like going to Peter Luger in NY for the 1st time with my 6 month pregnant wife, ordering a medium porterhouse, it arriving on the table and then that same pregnant wife telling me that she cant eat it, they need to take half of it back and cook it well done. From that day forward SWMBO listens to HWMBO when it comes to steaks. I refuse to cook her anything well done. Its medium well at most.
    You mean THE Peter Luger, in NYC?



    ...where they cut your steak up before they serve it?

    I bet a 1/2” ribeye on a sourdough bun with some carmelized onions would make a killer sandwich.

    I’ve never purchased any “aged” beef. Is it worth it?

    Depends if you like a slightly gamey flavor to your beef. It's not "better", just different.  My wife thinks it tastes kinda funky, like it's a going off. I enjoy it, but not enough to pay the premium.

    Yes, a good butcher will always hang beef before selling it anyway, it's the supermarkets that want it killed and wrapped in plastic as soon as possible.

    Anne gets her steak cooked how she wants it, which is well done. Your education mission will likely fail.

    Given the 17years I've been with my wife I know by now with what issues and when to push back. This is one of them. She used to eat it that way before kiddos so I'm just hoping slowly making the steaks a little less well done over time will bring her back into the light. =) So far I've brought her back from Jerky land.

    I tried a Filet Mignon cooked "Philadelphia rare" last night. I'm going to be sticking to rare to medium rare.  The PR was too chewy and I like the insides at least warm.

    Aint no way I am ever eating raw meat of any kind and yes that includes fish.
    how about ceviche, cooked in lemon juice =)  i draw the line with german mett, raw pork just does not sound good but maybe...
    Traveled the West coast of Costa Rica last December and frequently saw ceviche along fairly rural roads. While I am a seafood fan, some of the setups seemed sketchy at best. Made a habit of joking about “trunk ceviche” (as in seafood being sold out of a guy’s trunk). Bet it was both safe and delicious, but we didn’t want to chance it.
