Steak restaurants are a hugely popular choice for a meal out, with thousands to choose from across the UK for a juicy cut of beef.
One of the great things about this type of dinner is how much you can customise it - you're free to choose from a number of sides, sauces, and the way that the steak is cooked.
But according to one chef, there's one thing that people often ask for when sitting down at the restaurant - and it really gets on his nerves.
The Mirror reports that Joe Hurd, TV chef and Italian ingredients specialist from Lifetime's Chef Academy, claims there is "no such thing" as a steak cooked medium rare and that you shouldn't be asking for it.
This is when the steak is prepared to be firm on the outside but remains soft, tender and red on the inside.
Sharing his controversial claim with the Mirror, he explained: "There is no such thing as medium-rare. There is rare and there is medium."
And don't even get him started on those who ask for "medium rare plus".
The specialist also revealed another error that diners make when they come to a steak restaurant, saying it could "prolong" everyone's shift by a couple of hours.
The main mistake is a request often made at around 10pm when people ask "can we get a table for four please, but don't worry we all just want medium rare steaks..."
He says that hearing these words will always make a chef's "heart sink" as it's so close to closing time - but they'll still accommodate your needs.
Another one of the chef's pet peeves is when people put too much ketchup or mayonnaise on their steaks, or when anyone requests that their food is cooked for a little longer.
This comes after an Italian chef shared a massive mistake that people make when cooking bolognese.
Roberta d'Elia, top chef at Pasta Evangelists in London, says that the meaty sauce should never be paired with spaghetti - and you should be using tagliatelle instead.
This is because tagliatelle is more in line with the region of Italy that bolognese originates from, so it's more respectful to pair it with that pasta shape.
