I don't care if this makes me a ***** or a snob or whatever. The day I touch a bottle of steak sauce is the day that you force it into my cold dead hands.
A.1. or Heinz 57?

Neither. A well-cooked quality steak stands on its own merits. If a restaurant has steak sauce on the table, don't order steak (or choose another restaurant).
However, I have been known to saute some onions & mushrooms to serve with the steak.

Hence the provided purist "Sauce is for idiots" poll response. You're welcome.
I felt my vote wasn't a strong enough response to the other options presented.
If I "need" sauce on the steak it's A1. Even a good Bar-b-Q sauce will work. Heinz 57? Ehh, if it's all there is maybe.
I agree that a really good steak doesn't need anything, but if I'm adding sauce, then it's Heinz 57 all the way. No doubt.
I found your options comical (particularly the "I need to educate everyone on" option). Haha!
Eh, the only educating happening is the purists freaking out about the idea of using sauce in the first place. Of course, CyFan is littered with grilling GODS. Tailgate U!
Im Ketchup because I like it but I like it because we had one sauce growing up. We didn't have the money for a bunch of different sauces.
57 is really good on a baked potato with some butter
I will never eat it, but I'll say Heinz-- a girl that my daughter played softball with had the last name Heinz, and her jersey was epic because of course she was #57.
I really hope that the only thing you ate growing up was hotdogs and french fries! /s
Edit: and yes, I live near Chicago, where ketchup on hotdogs is sacrilege, but I don't care about that either. I'm a transplant. I also prefer NY-style pizza, so lol.
I have a lot of weirdos in my family who swear by ketchup on their scrambled eggs. Bleh.
I did this before I discovered that salsa is on your eggs is similar but better. I'll still do ketchup on scrambled eggs in a bind, but it's rare.
I eat ketchup more with breakfast than I do other meals. I have a short and weird list of foods where I'll go out of my way for it:
-fried fish
-breakfast potatoes/eggs/meat
-cheap hot dogs
I think that covers my ketchup usage.
Preferably neither but I like the flavour (<--fancy!) of A1...I don't know the last time I tried 57 so should have it again. (Also I don't put on the steak, just on plate for small dips. Never really thought about that either...)
But the reason I commented was to say this was a well made poll and the choices made me LOL, thumbs up.
