This is kind of a pet peeve of mine. I am a food peasant. If I buy a steak, even at a ritzy, snobby place, and I want to put A-1, or even Heinz Ketchup on it, it is none of the snooty waiter's business... he didn't pay for it, and he isn't eating it!
If you like A-1 on your meat, ask for it.
As for Soy Sauce -- called "shoyu" in Hawaii -- the reason it raises your BP is because it is basically a bottle of flavored liquid salt; one tablespoon of soy sauce has an average of 1300 mg of sodium! (The ideal goal for sodium in your diet is 2,400 milligrams per day, and that is usually naturally occurring in processed foods... and people who tend toward high BP shouldn't even approach that amount!)

"For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)
