文章简析：

Yesterday， my friend and I went to a restaurant. The restaurant was really  popular, so we had to wait like an hour  for our seats. Both of us ordered steaks.  When the waiter asked my friend how he  would like his steak cooked, he was like,  “I would like it rare.” and I was like “why  rare?”, then he was like, “my dad likes it  rare, so I guess like father like son.” The  steaks they served at the restaurant  were amazing. They tasted like heaven.  Both of us liked the steaks very much.
