Surprise

As I put in the quiz, Murray defines surprise is anything that you can keep your eyes out and open for...if you have a hunch, go with it, usually it will take you where you want to go and get you a story. As stated in the book, the best writers seek surprise and they treasure contradictions. To sum all this up, just keep your eyes open, be alert, and look for what isn't there.

I do agree, I think that you have a story in the restaurant. By doing the five-minute interview and then doing some research online, you can get yourself a story on the British animial activists. By having kept your eyes open, you got yourself a story on your own down time, eating a restaurant. As Murray said, surprises and stories are everywhere.
