I read on a fact sheet of the epilepsy.com website that seizures can be triggered by emotional stress. Personally I find eating certain foods emotionally stressful, e.g., anything I know is unhealthy or that reminds me of some event that I found stressful. Also, maybe consider the people you were dining with and how you feel around them. Assess other environmental factors of the restaurant you were in, e.g, was it overly noisy, smelling, crowded, hot, cold, dimly lit or too bright....
Good luck : )
