I guess (1) is the least odd, but the mention of the fork seems a bit strange and superfluous whichever way you say it (unless there is some context that makes the fork specially important or significant I suppose ...)

You're trying to add three different phrases to the base sentence above.

a. with my friends
b. at a restaurant
c. with a fork

Put the one most closely related to the base sentence first. food - fork is the closest relationship.
Then the next most closely related. food - restaurant.
