Steak Gate

Steak Gate began with an argument between Pepper Hicks and Fez over whether a hamburger was a steak. Fez tried to claim that the hamburgers he bought for the staff from Steak and Shake were steaks, with the rest of the crew attempting to explain to Fez the difference between an actual steak and a ground sirloin hamburger.

Background
On August 29, 2014, the show started off on a positive note, with a party to wish intern Howard farewell on his last day and a fun day of betting on horse races. Howard had requested steaks as the food he had wanted for his party. Fez was tasked with going and buying the steaks for Howard's party. However, instead of buying actual steaks or ordering them from a steakhouse or restaurant, Fez went to Steak and Shake, a chain of restaurants known for serving hamburgers and milk shakes. While the crew was initially happy upon Fez's return, the mood of the entire studio quickly shifted as everyone realized Fez had actually bought hamburgers instead of steaks. As people started to get angry at Fez, Fez continued to double and triple down on his claim that a hamburger made from a ground sirloin is the same as a steak. The next 30 minutes of the show was spent mostly with people trying to explain to Fez why he was wrong, such as Ron saying it was like inviting Fez over for a ham dinner and serving bacon and a caller pointing it was like asking someone over for a fish dinner and serving fish sticks. The screw up soured everyone's mood and jinxed the horse race as the majority of the bets also failed to deliver, further blackening the day. While the mood lightened somewhat towards the end, Fez clearly was still angry at everyone for giving him grief over his screw up. As they were trying serve cake during the last 15 minutes and wish Howard well, Fez exploded on Pepper and Shelby, claiming that they were incompetent, with Pepper responding by playing a new cut of "The Advice Show" promo and Shelby dropping some truth bombs on Fez.

Fez - "I would imagine it was made out of steak"

Ron - "Wrong!"
