# A person shouldn't eat in the street.<ref>The Gemara Kiddushin 40b establishes that someone who eats in the street is invalid as a witness. Tosfot Kiddushin 40b s.v. veyesh cites Rabbenu Chananel and Rabbenu Eliyahu who understand that this is only a problem if they stole the food. However, Rashi s.v. pasul and Ri Migash responsa 159 explain that the reason he is invalid is because he isn't respecting his own dignity when he eats in the street. Rabbenu Tam (Tosfot Kiddushin 40b s.v. veyesh) writes that it only invalidates a person if he eats a meal but not for eating a snack. The Bet Yosef CM 34:18(2) cites the Rabbenu Yerucham who says that the Rambam Edut 11:5 agreed with Rabbenu Tam but the Bet Yosef says it is unclear if the Rambam agrees. Instead the Bet Yosef writes that the Rambam held that eating in the street only invalidates a person if he is eating in front of everyone but not if he's eating on a small street where only some people are passing by. The Shulchan Aruch CM 34:18 follows the language of the Rambam. Therefore, the Sama 34:44 and Urim 34:38 write that if a person eats in the street but not in front of a crowd he isn't invalidated but it isn't respectful for a talmid chacham to do so. Chashukei Chemed Brachot 51b implies that eating a candy in the street is perhaps forbidden because it isn't clear if we hold like Rabbenu Tam. Mishpatei Tzedek 34:87 cites the opinion of Rabbenu Tam.</ref> | # A person shouldn't eat in the street.<ref>The Gemara Kiddushin 40b establishes that someone who eats in the street is invalid as a witness.

# Eating in a restaurant outdoors doesn't make a person invalid for testimony.<ref>The Urim 34:38 writes that a person is only invalid if he is eating as he walks but not if he stops in one stop to eat. Chashukei Chemed 50a writes that if there's tables of a restaurant outside it is permitted to eat there but a talmid chacham wouldn't do that. He cites the Yavetz Kiddushin 40b who agrees with the Urim.</ref> | # Eating in a restaurant outdoors doesn't make a person invalid for testimony.<ref>The Urim 34:38 writes that a person is only invalid if he is eating as he walks but not if he stops in one stop to eat.
