If you need to add salt to a meal do you think the chef isn’t very good?

I just had too meals in a row at restaurants that were loaded with so much salt I was afraid to finish it let alone that it was too salty for my taste. I’m not a no salt person, these were truly excessive in my opinion.

It started me thinking, I haven’t needed to add salt to a restaurant meal in forever. What’s the harm in a little less salt while cooking and people who want a little more salt can add it at the table?

I have the same complaint about vegetables soaked in butter. Yesterday my green beans still had garlic butter unmelted on part of the beans. Forget that I don’t like garlic, just seeing that annoys me. I don’t mind some fat to sauté the beans, but adding a hunk of butter after cooking is unnecessary.

I feel like the only safe thing is a salad with dressing on the side, but I don’t usually go out to eat for a salad.
