                    Item 4 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended to
          read in its entirety as follows:

                    On September 27, 1996, Sara Lee Foodservice
          Holdings, Inc. ("SLFH"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
          Sara Lee Corporation, and The Sara Lee Foundation pro-
          vided the Issuer with notice of the exercise of their 
          demand registration rights for the registration under 
          the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the 
          5,138,210 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock benefi-
          cially owned by Sara Lee Corporation and the 1,000,000
          shares of the Issuer's Common Stock beneficially owned by
          The Sara Lee Foundation pursuant to an Amended and Re-
          stated Registration Rights Agreement, dated November 22,
          1994, among PYA/Monarch, Inc. ("PYA"), a subsidiary of
          Sara Lee Corporation, the Issuer and certain other par-
          ties thereto, which has been amended by a letter agree-
          ment, dated July 16, 1996, between PYA and the Issuer. 
          The notice from SLFH and The Sara Lee Foundation to the
          Issuer is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.  Although Sara
          Lee Corporation has exercised its right to cause the
          Issuer to register the sale of all of the shares of
          Common Stock of the Issuer beneficially owned by Sara Lee
          Corporation and, depending on market conditions and other
          factors in existence at the time of any such disposition,
          presently intends to dispose of such shares in a regis-
          tered public offering thereof or otherwise, there can be
          no assurance that a registration statement with respect
          to the sale of such shares will be filed and declared
          effective by the Commission or that such shares will
          ultimately be sold pursuant to such registration state-
          ment or otherwise.

                    Sara Lee Corporation will continue to monitor
          and evaluate its investment in the Issuer in light of
          pertinent factors, including the following: (i) the
          Issuer's business, operations, assets, financial condi-
          tion and prospects; (ii) market, general economic and
          other conditions; and (iii) other investment opportuni-
          ties available to Sara Lee Corporation.  In light of the
          foregoing factors, other circumstances arising from time
          to time and the ongoing plans and requirements of Sara
          Lee Corporation, Sara Lee Corporation may determine (i)
          to acquire additional securities of the Issuer, (ii) to
          increase or decrease its participation in the determina-
          tion of the Issuer's management and policies, (iii) to
          dispose of some or all of the securities of the Issuer
          that Sara Lee Corporation beneficially owns pursuant to a
          registered public offering or otherwise or to retain and
          continue to hold some or all of the securities of the
          Issuer that Sara Lee Corporation beneficially owns or
          (iv) to propose a merger, consolidation, joint venture or
          other business combination involving the Issuer or its
          subsidiaries or divisions or a sale or purchase of assets
          or securities of the Issuer or its subsidiaries or divi-
          sions or other similar actions.

                    Except as described above, Sara Lee Corporation
          does not have either plans or proposals that relate to or
          would result in: (i) the acquisition by any person of
          additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition
          of securities of the Issuer; (ii) an extraordinary corpo-
          rate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or
          liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsid-
          iaries; (iii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of
          assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) any
          change in the present board of directors or management of
          the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change
          the number or term of directors or to fill any existing
          vacancies on the board; (v) any material change in the
          present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;
          (vi) any other material change in the Issuer's business
          or corporate structure; (vii) changes in the Issuer's
          charter or bylaws or other actions which may impede the
          acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;
          (viii) a class of securities of the Issuer being delisted
          from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be
          authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation
          system of a registered national securities association;
          (ix) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming
          eligible for termination of registration pursuant to
          Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
          or (x) any action similar to any of those enumerated
          above.

          ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

                    Item 5 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended to
          read in its entirety as follows:

                         (a)  According to the Issuer's Form 10-Q
          for the quarter ended March 30, 1996, as of May 1, 1996,
          there were 16,025,014 shares of Common Stock outstanding. 
          According to the Registration Statement, as amended, on
          Form S-3 filed by the Issuer with the Commission on
          August 7, 1996, the Issuer has subsequently issued
          5,090,852 shares of Common Stock in connection with
          certain transactions, resulting in a total of 21,115,866
          shares of Common Stock outstanding.  As of the date
          hereof, Sara Lee Corporation beneficially owns 5,138,210
          (or 24.3%) of such shares.

                         (b)  Sara Lee Corporation has the sole
          power to direct the vote of, and the sole power to direct
          the disposition of, the 5,138,210 shares of Common Stock
          beneficially owned by it.  The Common Stock beneficially
          owned by Sara Lee Corporation was previously held of
          record by PYA/Monarch, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a
          wholly-owned subsidiary of PYA Holding, Inc., a Delaware
          corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sara Lee
          Corporation.  On September 26, 1996, PYA/Monarch, Inc.
          transferred all such shares to PYA Holding, Inc. and the
          name of PYA Holding, Inc. was changed to Sara Lee
          Foodservice Holdings, Inc.

                         (c)  Except as described in 5(b) above,
          neither Sara Lee Corporation, nor to the best of its
          knowledge, any director or executive officer of Sara Lee
          Corporation, has engaged in any transaction in the Common
          Stock of the Issuer during the past 60 days.

                         (d)  No other person is known to have the
          right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of
          dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the
          shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Sara Lee
          Corporation.

                         (e)  Not applicable.
