If there is  vegetation outside I try to have my dog go outside.
But if there is no vegetation, I just carry a plastic bag on the
patio.
No one has ever complained to me.  I think its cute that
your dog likes rice and beans.  I usually just order a
childs cheeseburger and put the plate under the table.
I would be more scared of catching the sars than catching
any kind of disease from my dog.  Its people like Jack
who don't like dogs and try to force their laws down
our throat.
