This Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D is filed solely to amend Item 4.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Messrs. Ruyan and Nussbaum and the other directors of Frisch's will
present to the shareholders a proposal to increase the size of the Board of
Directors from eight to nine with the additional director to be added to the
class of directors to be elected for a two year term at the 1997 Annual
Shareholders' Meeting. Accordingly, the Board of Directors, on September 30,
1997, nominated for re-election the four current members of the Board whose
terms would expire at the 1997 Annual Meeting plus Christopher B. Hewett as a
new ninth director. Mr. Hewett is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Meritage Hospitality Group Inc. and Mr. Ruyan is a director of that corporation.
Messrs. Ruyan and Nussbaum intend to vote all of their shares in favor of the
proposal to increase the size of the Board and equally in favor of the five
nominees.
