I think it's time for restaurants to up the ante and come to the table with an armful of giant spice mills. Why not offer a variety of types of pepper? And several freshly ground salts? And cardamon? And allspice?

A waiter brought one to our table once. I responded by saying "Why, did the chef screw up when seasoning the dish?" He just walked away...

I really don't know why everyone seems so negative about this. After a few drinks, the idea of a giant peppermill seems perfectly logical!
Here is a prime example from Mister Parker Restaurant in Palm Springs.

Would you accept pepper from this man?

Jesus. Thats just hilarious.
I know TFL offers a few different salts with one of their dishes. I think the youngest one is 25 million years old.

This reminds me of an old joke with the punchline, "Sir, I sold the small 'shoulder massager' for $10; I sold the large 'shoulder massager' for $20; and I sold your thermos full of coffee for $100."
