Never intercept a pass. You'll just

have to ask them to pass the

basket to you!

Surprisingly, salt and pepper

should be passed together, even

if someone asks only for one.

When you are finished with your

meal, your knife and fork should be

placed on your plate diagonally. This

is a secret code to the waiter that

you’ve finished.

If you have to go to the restroom or

if you’re getting up at the end of the

meal—just put your napkin to the

left of your plate.
