It’s no secret Americans love their steak, but a new survey suggests how you order one on a date could make the difference between getting lucky or going home alone.
According to Meats by Linz’s poll of more than 1,000 carnivores, one in three say they’d judge a date harshly if they order their meat well done.
However, there are other feeding faux pas when it comes to meat, according to the poll: 42% say they’d look down their nose at a date if they reach for the ketchup, and men and women were unanimous in their disdain for that.
For the record, 57% prefer their steak medium or medium-rare; 78 percent feel the best way to prepare it is on a grill instead of a pan, oven or air fryer.
According to the poll, 70% of respondents consider themselves meat lovers, and they like it so much that 64%, that’s two in three people, say they’d request steak as their final meal.
