It's okay, he's a vegan and doesn't know any better.

I don’t know what the waiter was thinking. Did he just assume closest thing to really good was well done in linguistic sense?

u/Ambitus Mar 31 '22

Nah he assumed that Steven had no experience with steaks whatsoever and there was a good chance he would struggle to eat it if it had "blood" in it.

u/Strange_Vagrant Apr 01 '22

Oooh, Steven was the vegetarian?!

56

u/Howthehelldoido Apr 02 '22

Vegan. His Boss mentions it I when she'd asking about him going on a date with her "what's a Vegan going to eat in a steak house?"

"salad.. And bread I guess?"

12

u/Strange_Vagrant Apr 02 '22

That exchange doesn't define who the vegan is.

u/Xilthas Apr 02 '22

I can't imagine a vegan would have said yes to a date at a steakhouse?

u/onlyinny Apr 02 '22

He didn’t. Marc did

u/Xilthas Apr 02 '22

I meant the woman "he" asked.

u/DisposableSaviour Weekly Wongers Apr 04 '22

Or Jake Lockley.

Exactly what I was thinking

u/Bitter-Hovercraft-36 Apr 04 '22 edited Apr 04 '22

Steven is vegan not the date (seems like Marc asked for a date based on how clueless Steven was). You wouldn’t invite a vegan to a steakhouse.

u/Directioneer Apr 02 '22

Oh... I thought the date was a vegan and was just really into Marc

u/Intelligent-donkey Mar 31 '22

I think the implied logic from the waiter is that since he's someone who's not experienced with steaks, he's probably the kind of person who'd worry about it being raw if there was any red visible.

Genuinely yes. One of my mates is from Peru so there’s occasionally things where his English will be slightly off. I was at a restaurant once with him and he ordered a steak, but this was apparently the first time he’d ever ordered one (man lives on a very chicken heavy diet), and when the waiter asked how he wanted it, he obviously had “well done” as a phrase somewhere in his head but couldn’t quite remember, and came out with “uhh… very good?” Waiter looked confused and went “do you mean well done?” And my mate was just like “yeah think so”, so that situation in the episode isn’t too unrealistic imo

u/xylodactyl Steve Rogers Apr 01 '22

Maybe the waiter thought he wasn't a native speaker? I've heard of foreigners ordering "bloody" instead of "rare", I can see how he assumed that really good meant well done. Isaac says his accent is bad on purpose and he's definitely struggling so maybe that's why the waiter thinks so.

u/really_nice_guy_ Mar 30 '22

Seriously fire that waiter. If I want my steak “really good” then give a “really good” steak. Not a botched “well done” steak.

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '22

"Excuse me. I ordered this steak medium rare and it was well done."

"Thank you."

37

u/kemicode Mar 31 '22

Had the same thoughts as someone mentioned here. The waiter ordered well done for Steven because it seemed he wasn’t knowledgeable with steaks and would struggle eating a rawer type of steak.

31

u/Roboticide Hulkbuster Mar 31 '22

Oh, I thought they were saying his date was vegan.

The fact that Steven is vegan but Mark is an omnivore is kinda hilarious, lol.

21

u/FremenDar979 Mar 31 '22

Agreed and it's perfect the dominant personality, Marc, is omnivore as you stated.

u/TheMainGerman Apr 04 '22

Imagine if Marc was a carnivore. Steven just awakes to find a ton of meat in his fridge...
