Ok so I get it. Chefs are absolutely incapable of preparing a well done steak.

I find that hard to believe.

This will be my last post to you because youre behaving like an absolute dullard.

When you go to a top level restaurant, you arent just going for some food to tide you over to your next meal. Youre going for an experience in culinary excellence, and the main person providing that is the chef. With their expertise and years of experience, one of the things theyre providing is their palette. Youre not just paying for their skill but also their understanding of the food, which is, in the vast majority of cases, going to exceed that of the customer.

If you want to eat a well done steak, thats fine. You can do that at home or at many run of the mill restaurants. But if you go to Michelin starred place with award winning chefs, you dont get to tell them they have to prepare or cook food differently from their menu just because youre a paying customer, because theres no shortage of paying customers. They dont need you, and so they dont have to compromise their vision for you.

Of course, youre entitled to not like that and to take your custom elsewhere. Just dont expect them to care.
