Their is a long time steak house in Orlando were the original owner (and his son after him) absolutely and totally refused to cook a steak more well done than med rare. I have seen ol Rudy & Al Seng berate and invite a "customer" to leave if they did not like it! The got away with it because the steaks were as good as anything you have ever had in your mouth. The steak house still remains but both are long gone .... and the place is marginal now.
Asking for BBQ sauce at Charlie Vergo's Rendezvous BBQ in Memphis will earn you a good matured scolding and lecture on the evils of "wet ribs", complete with the threat that "you do not deserve my ribs!" They are also IMO some of the very finest ribs in the known and charted world ..... and I have eaten at the best BBQ joints from NC to TN to TX to KC .... and all points in between.
