Gettining your steak rare? - Beyond Tiki

This is not to say I'm not open to suggestions for new places that are reccommended to me by freinds with like-minded tastes. I find that upscale steakhouses with a good reputation and a loyal following are usually the best bet for getting a good rare steak (Jilly's in Chicago springs to mind). My son and I went out for burgers and beers a few months ago and stopped into a Bollwievel restaurant here in S.D. for 1/2 LB steerburgers which we both ordered rare. The waitress returned from the kitchen minutes later and informed us that we could only have it that way if we signed a waiver which she handed us along with a pen. We just looked at each other and busted up (as we proceeded to sign our lives away). When did America become such a SCARY place?
