    Hi, civil engineer* here. Nah, fam: a lot of the time we don’t even use formulas; we just look shit up in tables or interpolate on a graph!

    (* To be fair, (a) I specialized in traffic, and (b) I didn’t do all that much professional work as a civil engineer before switching to software “engineering” instead. That’s even less mathematically rigorous most of the time, LOL.)

    It’s cured, slow-smoked (to an internal temp of 203 °F, much higher than what would be considered “well done” for steak), and then steamed. It’s literally the most cooked a piece of meat can possibly be without becoming inedible.

    On top of that, it’s a cheap, tough cut of meat that only becomes delicious because of the complicated and laborious prep. When you buy a sandwich like that (which is pretty expensive), the extensive cooking process is most of what you’re paying for.
