Yep, cardinal rule of dining out - don’t piss off the people that handle your food out of your sight. They might be like Jesse Jackson and spit in it.
Can't do that, but you can use liberal amounts of pepper. One time one of my daughters got upset with my wife about something. Daughter baked some food with lots of paprika and pepper in it. And didn't tell Mom before eating the meal. They did make up afterwards, but my wife did a lot of gagging over that meal.
