Steak Sauce Request in Restaurant

Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,

I have been having a debate with my girlfriend. Isn't it rude to ask for steak sauce in a nice restaurant? She has never heard of such and thinks I'm crazy.

Signed,

Can you help clarify?

Dear Can you help clarify,

Yes, in a fine restaurant if you are not asked about needing any additional "sauce," then it is considered impolite to request steak sauce. Elegant restaurants employ first class chefs so there should be no need to spice up your meat.
