Is this something one has to specify at restaurants?

I worked at a restaurant like that in college. One of the waiters really really worked hard at making a Caesar salad tableside for a party of two attractive young women; so hard that he sweated into it. He apparently didn't notice, but the women did; they didn't touch their salads.

 

 

I suppose I could imagine someone working hard enough crushing the anchovies into paste to work up a sweat but making a Caesar salad just doesn't seem like that strenuous a task.

Less so in a restaurant meal, but in a mass formal dinner I would expect there to be a cheese plate after people retired from the dining room. With port or cognac.

Doesn’t the cheese ruin the taste of the cigar?

Of course the cigar would come last...after all the cheese, port, and perhaps a sweet too. And then a Macallan 18yo or equivalent with the cigar.

Or perhaps the reverse.
