Thanksgiving Dinner With Friends Ends Up With A Friendship Falling Out Because The Host Refused To Cook A $120 Steak To Well-Done

Jurgita Dominauskaitė and
Saulė Tolstych
Someone's diet is a very personal choice. Some people don't eat meat or products derived from animals because they have moral principles, others may do that because of health reasons. Also, we all have our taste preferences and not everything pleases our taste buds. Most often that doesn't interfere with our daily lives, but for this person it cost his friendship. Reddit user Poecifer organized a Friendsgiving for a group of 10 people of close friends. During the dinner the host got in a fight with his friend's girlfriend over how she wanted her steak cooked because he is very passionate about how it should be made. More info: Reddit

A man wanted to host a Friendsgiving party for his close friends but ended up severing a friendship over meat doneness

Image credits: Steven Verbruggen (not the actual photo) Poecifer decided to gather his friends and treat them to a special Friendsgiving dinner. He bought striploin of A5 Wagyu, which is beef of a Wagyu cattle raised within Hokkaido Prefecture in Japan. It is usually really expensive, but the Original Poster (OP) managed to get it a lot cheaper from a friend. The host takes his meats very seriously and he compares steak to religion or a thing that is closest to it. He goes on to describe how he loves preparing it and doesn't mind spending a lot of time doing it. Image credits: Poecifer The way he prepared the A5 meat was vacuum sealing it in a bag and then cooking it in a water bath with a very regulated temperature. The host made the steak medium-rare, allowing the possibility to make it medium, if necessary. Besides the A5 steak, the host also prepared other dishes that had chicken, duck and salmon as main ingredients. In an edit he adds that he was planning the evening in advance and even sent out menus to the people who would come. He also mentioned that if they wanted their steak prepared in a different way, he would adjust for them.

The OP takes his meat seriously and he prepared various dishes among them medium-rare steak

Image credits: Poecifer

This stake was from expensive meat that can cost $120 for a cut

Image credits: Poecifer Even though it wasn't a big party, there was one person that the host didn't know that well because it was a new girlfriend of one of his friends. She was the first to cut into her steak and she wasn't happy about seeing pink meat, which she considered to be raw, which is understandable but not completely true. The woman didn't want her boyfriend eating it either as she was afraid he would get sick because of it. Then she asked Poecifer to cook her steak until it was all brown. Image credits: Poecifer

One friend s girlfriend thought that it could get a person sick and asked for it to be cooked properly

Image credits: Poecifer It seems that this request agitated the OP and he firmly refused and suggested that she could eat the other dishes that he had prepared. The girlfriend got angry and took matters into her own hands by heading to the microwave. This is when the conflict really escalated because the host grabbed the plate from the woman's hands as he believed that a well-done steak just means ruining the meat. In the process, half of the steak fell on the ground and it just became a sacrifice to the dogs, but it didn't seem to upset the OP as he commented, "Well, at least it went to someone who wouldn't s**t on a good steak." It couldn't have been pleasant for the woman to know that the host would rather give his prepared meal to his dog than adjust it to her liking, especially when they don't know each other. Image credits: Poecifer

The OP categorically refused and when the woman tried to do it herself he grabbed the steak from her hands

Image credits: Poecifer Friendsgiving didn't start that well and everyone felt that. The guests felt tension through the whole evening. The couple didn't eat much and left not long after. But they didn't forget what had happened nor did they forgive the host. The couple blocked the OP on social media and the other friends from the group too. Poecifer also got a PayPal invoice of $25 with the request of paying for the girlfriend's dry cleaning, even though the OP doesn't remember spilling anything on her. Image credits: Poecifer

After the dinner the friend and the girlfriend blocked the host on social media and other friends too

Image credits: Poecifer The host is upset that he probably lost an old friend and is asking if he was a jerk for not cooking the meat just how the woman wanted. Would you call him a jerk or was the girlfriend crossing the line? People who read the story had varying opinions. Some of them thought that a host should cater to every guest's taste, others were arguing that it was his house, so he gets to come up with the rules. Many were of the opinion that both the host and the guest were acting rude, because there was other food that the girlfriend could eat, but on the other hand, people shouldn't get so offended when others like food you yourself wouldn't eat.

People were quite divided and there were varying opinions

You should get some. -5 -5points reply AR-Sith F.Austin AR-Sith F.Austin Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago You didn't read the article. The steak would retail for $120 or more. He clearly said he didn't pay that as he got the entire strip loin for a steal. You can cut 6 to 10 steaks out of one or more depending on it's size. So that point is invalid in all this. Plus, why would spending $1000 or more on a meal be outrageous? People do it all the time. Don't think everyone is broke. 3 3points reply I'mNotARoboat I'mNotARoboat Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 7 months ago Yes, exactly, AR-Sith. I would feel differently had he actually paid for the meat but it was free for him so I would've definitely bought something cheaper for others who don't feel the same about it. Being the foodie that he is, he should KNOW lots of people don't like pink steaks. I used to be in that group but my tastes have altered. People are people and not all the same. -1 -1point reply Diane Knight Diane Knight Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 7 months ago Recently a radio segment of "2nd date update" had a similar story. 'She' had a great time, though he was very friendly with staff from valet to busboy. But didn't return calls or texts. 'He' came on the segment and mentioned that she ordered the steak well and covered it ketchup. BIG turn off, when you go to a upscale steak house, it's disrespectful to do that with beef. She could have ordered chicken then. I'm with both men in these stories. I'm not a steak person per se, but there is a right way to treat/ cook a well-cured/ cut of beef. If you are going to go in a different direction than this, do it on a poor/cheap cut then. Leave the good meat for someone who will appreciate it. 0 0points reply June June Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago If this is real, I bet he minimized his own assholeness and exaggerated the girl behavior.

Sounds like he hardly knew her, so likely her boyfriend had the invite. Probably barely even read it.

There is a big difference between a very good cut and the local cheap stuff. -14 -14points reply Foxxy (The Original) Foxxy (The Original) Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago YOU think it destroys the flavour. To them, they enhance the flavour. Everyone's tastebuds are different. We are not the same, we don't all like the same clothes, music, movies and food. It is literally personal taste/choice. 14 14points reply RaroaRaroa RaroaRaroa Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago You're right Foxxy. The best way to prepare any food is in the manner that it tastes best to the person eating it. Personally, I'm a medium rare kind of girl, but if medium (which is probably all she'd have needed) is more pleasurable to eat for someone, then what does it matter? They are the ones eating it - and in 20 mins, max, it will be gone forever. Burn the damn steak if that's how you want to eat it. 0 0points reply Tracy Sellars Tracy Sellars Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago This comment is hidden.

If you don't have the pallet to appreciate the better things of life don't eat them. -7 -7points reply Foxxy (The Original) Foxxy (The Original) Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago (edited) I do get it, your pretentious just like the guy.

No I just appreciate good food and there is nothing wrong with that. You trying to make it a character flaw is very sad. Hopefully one day you will get a chance to try really good food or drink and you will understand that there is a difference. -7 -7points reply Foxxy (The Original) Foxxy (The Original) Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago (edited) Do you even hear yourself. Yes you enjoy and appreciate good food, others appreciate it too, even if they have it cooked different or add something to it. The food is still being enjoyed. I stand by my comment. It is extremely egotistic to think your way of eating certain foods is the right and only way. 4 4points reply Piotr Las Piotr Las Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago (edited) So tell me if it destroys the meat, then why the hell is there a cooking standard as well done?? Shouldn't steak just be rare and medium rare if other destroy the meat? Think again my friend. Thats why on charts there is also done and well done because these are also good steaks. 2 2points reply Sa Ruuu Sa Ruuu Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago This comment is hidden.

Especially when he sent out the menu in advance so anyone picky like her could inform him. Because I'm 100% on his side, whoever order well done steak is wrong as hell -16 -16points reply UpupaEpops UpupaEpops Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago His friend got it as a gift.

You see well done as "overcooked", I see it as.. well done (in the literal meaning), and medium rare as "undercooked". Food is a question of taste (pun intended), and every one have a different approach of it. 18 18points reply Mona Vine Mona Vine Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago I loses all it's value if you eat it too . 5 5points reply K Witmer K Witmer Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Who the hell cares about the cost of the food. He was insufferable and did not communicate properly and she got defensive bc of how he was not communicating properly. His long time friend cut him out of his life that's saying something right there. It must've been a scene and he clearly was the aggressor 0 0points reply Kitten Love Kitten Love Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 7 months ago (edited) The steak loses its value depending on how it's cooked? LOL it will be eaten, digested and pooped out into the toilet no matter how it is cooked, so cook it the way the diner prefers if you want her to eat it. Now the dog will poop it out instead of the guest. -1 -1point reply John Baker John Baker Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago A "mind-bogglingly expensive steak" that's 80% fat.

Beautiful double standard you have going on there. You sound just as rude, entitled and insufferable as her. I'm not ruining a steak or making another dinner for a stranger, which she was, and if you cause drama in my house and try to use items in my kitchen without asking, I would not so politely ask you to leave. Honestly, she's pretty lucky the cops didn't get involved. This was NOT appropriate behavior and he had every right to tell her no. The fight(if this story is in any way true) only escalated due to her refusal to take no for an answer. Alot of time, effort, care and money went into hosting this event and ANY event. Scoot your damn steak to the side and say 'thank-you' and get McDonald's on the way home and try not to think about how sick THAT will make you instead. 1 1point reply Marty Sunderland Marty Sunderland Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 7 months ago Perfect answer.

She could have asked for a cheaper steak and had it well done if she or her boyfriend had responded to his email but they didn't. 4 4points reply Load More Replies... Foxxy (The Original) Foxxy (The Original) Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago If the person likes, eats and enjoys the steak then the value is not ruined. That's just ridiculous. Let people eat steak however they want, no matter the cut. 44 44points reply Plenty Pineapples Plenty Pineapples Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Yep. Otherwise just enjoy the cut yourself, but if you're sharing it in a dinner party then allow people to eat it to their liking. 17 17points reply Tracy Sellars Tracy Sellars Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago This comment is hidden.

There is a big difference between a very good cut and the local cheap stuff. -14 -14points reply Foxxy (The Original) Foxxy (The Original) Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago YOU think it destroys the flavour. To them, they enhance the flavour. Everyone's tastebuds are different. We are not the same, we don't all like the same clothes, music, movies and food. It is literally personal taste/choice. 14 14points reply RaroaRaroa RaroaRaroa Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago You're right Foxxy. The best way to prepare any food is in the manner that it tastes best to the person eating it. Personally, I'm a medium rare kind of girl, but if medium (which is probably all she'd have needed) is more pleasurable to eat for someone, then what does it matter? They are the ones eating it - and in 20 mins, max, it will be gone forever. Burn the damn steak if that's how you want to eat it. 0 0points reply Tracy Sellars Tracy Sellars Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago This comment is hidden.

If you don't have the pallet to appreciate the better things of life don't eat them. -7 -7points reply Foxxy (The Original) Foxxy (The Original) Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago (edited) I do get it, your pretentious just like the guy.

No I just appreciate good food and there is nothing wrong with that. You trying to make it a character flaw is very sad. Hopefully one day you will get a chance to try really good food or drink and you will understand that there is a difference. -7 -7points reply Foxxy (The Original) Foxxy (The Original) Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago (edited) Do you even hear yourself. Yes you enjoy and appreciate good food, others appreciate it too, even if they have it cooked different or add something to it. The food is still being enjoyed. I stand by my comment. It is extremely egotistic to think your way of eating certain foods is the right and only way. 4 4points reply Piotr Las Piotr Las Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago (edited) So tell me if it destroys the meat, then why the hell is there a cooking standard as well done?? Shouldn't steak just be rare and medium rare if other destroy the meat? Think again my friend. Thats why on charts there is also done and well done because these are also good steaks. 2 2points reply Sa Ruuu Sa Ruuu Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago This comment is hidden. Click here to view. She can do that with any steak SHE pays for. The point you're missing is this guy has paid for everything so he has some right to prepare the food the way he wanted to. Especially when he sent out the menu in advance so anyone picky like her could inform him. Because I'm 100% on his side, whoever order well done steak is wrong as hell -16 -16points reply UpupaEpops UpupaEpops Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago His friend got it as a gift.

You see well done as "overcooked", I see it as.. well done (in the literal meaning), and medium rare as "undercooked". Food is a question of taste (pun intended), and every one have a different approach of it. 18 18points reply Mona Vine Mona Vine Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago I loses all it's value if you eat it too . 5 5points reply K Witmer K Witmer Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Who the hell cares about the cost of the food. He was insufferable and did not communicate properly and she got defensive bc of how he was not communicating properly. His long time friend cut him out of his life that's saying something right there. It must've been a scene and he clearly was the aggressor 0 0points reply Kitten Love Kitten Love Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 7 months ago (edited) The steak loses its value depending on how it's cooked? LOL it will be eaten, digested and pooped out into the toilet no matter how it is cooked, so cook it the way the diner prefers if you want her to eat it. Now the dog will poop it out instead of the guest. -1 -1point reply John Baker John Baker Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago A "mind-bogglingly expensive steak" that's 80% fat.

Thank you for saying what I was thinking. OP was an AH too, but not as much as the girl. -5 -5points reply Rachel Walters Rachel Walters Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago You mean the same way she tried to impose her view/liking of brown meat on others by demanding her boyfriend not eat it either when there were plenty of other options on the table? Beautiful double standard you have going on there. You sound just as rude, entitled and insufferable as her. I'm not ruining a steak or making another dinner for a stranger, which she was, and if you cause drama in my house and try to use items in my kitchen without asking, I would not so politely ask you to leave. Honestly, she's pretty lucky the cops didn't get involved. This was NOT appropriate behavior and he had every right to tell her no. The fight(if this story is in any way true) only escalated due to her refusal to take no for an answer. Alot of time, effort, care and money went into hosting this event and ANY event. Scoot your damn steak to the side and say 'thank-you' and get McDonald's on the way home and try not to think about how sick THAT will make you instead. 1 1point reply Marty Sunderland Marty Sunderland Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 7 months ago Perfect answer. He went to so much work for an elegant meal, and she has 1) no manners and 2) McDonald's taste 0 0points reply Load More Comments Popular on Bored Panda I Used AI To See What These 23 Popular Cartoon Characters Would Look Like In Real Life 30 Y.O.
