When someone ordered one of my lunch specials, especially if it was
something I cooked personally and especially if it was 'southern' or
'cajun/creole' I would usually deliver it to the table myself and
casually remark that they might taste it first before they reached for
the salt and pepper. I made the dish the way I thought it should
taste and I wanted them to taste it first before they decided to alter
it.

I never minded if they reached for the S & P after they tasted it.
But I wanted to keep them from oversalting and ruining their dish.
