TO:            Department Heads, Proxy and Reorganization
               Departments

FROM:          George Garland

DATE:          May 27, 1997

RE:            Family Steak Houses of Florida
               Tender Offer/Consent Solicitation (Gold Card)

CUSIP:         307059-105
CONTRA CUSIP:  307059-998



Dear Proxy and Reorganization Departments:

     Our client, Bisco Industries Inc. has an ongoing OFFER TO
PURCHASE up to 2,600,000 shares of Family Steak Houses of Florida
common stock at $.90 per share.  In addition, Bisco is soliciting
CONSENTS on a GOLD consent card to remove several anti-takeover
provisions.  Bisco can NOT complete the tender offer and accept
YOUR clients' shares for payment until AFTER Bisco have received
sufficient consents on the GOLD card to revoke the "Poison Pill"
provision and to "Opt-Out" of the Florida Control Share Act. 
Revoking these measures is a CONDITION OF THE OFFER.

     Some of your clients who have tendered shares have not yet
signed and returned their GOLD consent cards.  We urge you to
CONTACT YOUR CLIENTS who have tendered or their Account
Representative to assure that the clients have returned their GOLD
consent cards.  While consenting is not a condition for tendering,
a successful consent solicitation IS a condition for accepting
shares for payment.

     We also encourage shareholders who do NOT wish to tender to
sign, date and return their GOLD consent cards.  Consenting does
NOT mean tendering.  In order to consent, a shareholder must sign,
date and return the GOLD consent card whether or not they wish to
tender.

     If you, your client or your clients' Account Administrators
have any questions, PLEASE CALL George Garland at telephone 212-
866-0095 or at 800-455-6034.

                              Thank you,
                              George Garland
