“#Jalen Rose on how whiz chef David Chang ‘enlightened’ him<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n There is a stigma attached to ordering steak well-done. Bill Simmons, founder of sports and pop culture website the Ringer, always told me, \u201cJalen, if you do that, chefs give you the worst steak in the house.\u201d Having grown up poor, we didn\u2019t always have the best quality food, so we know we can season it, doctor it up or cook it to death, and it will be OK. While now I know better, old habits are tough to shake.<\/p>\n

When I had outspoken chef David Chang, the man behind the Momofuku<\/a> empire and Netflix\u2019s \u201cUgly Delicious\u201d on my podcast, I had to ask him straight-up: What is your unvarnished take when people order steak well-done?<\/p>\n

Turns out, the \u201cpodfather\u201d Simmons was right. Chang told me that he\u2019s seen a lot of those stories about the well-done order getting the subpar piece of beef, and attributes it to the elitism that exists in the culinary world. In the past, he\u2019s judged people by their food order, but he\u2019s changing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m always trying to shed some of my more ignorant ways that I think are enlightened,\u201d he told me. \u201cI basically came up with this theory that anyone that eats a well-done steak is a Trump supporter. Wow, that is stupid. It took all of two minutes to learn Obama eats his steak well-done too.\u201d<\/p>\n
