Well, IANAR (I'm not a Rabbi). Are you one? However, the mere deed of
sitting and eating in a non-kosher restaurant is Halachically forbidden,
because of something called "Mar'it Ayin": If someone sees an observant Jew
eating in a non-kosher place, he may think that the place is kosher and eat
there too. Therefore, your point is moot.
