ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER

        This statement relates to Common Stock, par value $.01 per share
("Common Stock"), of Atlantic Premium Brands, Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the
"Issuer"). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 650
Dundee Road, Suite 370, Northbrook, Illinois 60062.

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

        This statement is being filed by Philip L. Glass and Ellen V. Glass,
husband and wife. Mr. Glass and Mrs. Glass (hereafter referred to as the
"Reporting Persons") are both U.S. citizens. Mr. Glass is a commodity trader and
Mrs. Glass is a home-maker. The principal business address and the principal
office address where the Reporting Persons can be reached is 20 North Wacker
Drive, Suite 3400, Chicago, Illinois 60606-3102.

        The Reporting Persons have not been (i) convicted in a criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) during the
last five years, or (ii) a party, during the last five years, to a civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction which
resulted in either of them being subject to a judgment, decree or final order
enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject
to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to
such laws.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

        On March 15, 1996 the Issuer completed the acquisition of Prefco, Inc.
and Carlton Foods, Inc. and a $2.5 million private placement resulting in the
issuance of shares of unregistered common stock primarily to the Issuers
existing shareholders and directors. Prior to the acquisitions and private
placement the Reporting Persons had acquired beneficial ownership of 95,856
shares of Common Stock or 4.12% of the Issuer's authorized and outstanding
Common Stock. As a result of the acquisitions and private placement, the
Reporting Person beneficial ownership of the Common Stock was increased to
332,087 shares of Common Stock or 6.24% of the Issuer's authorized and
outstanding Common Stock.

        Of the additional shares acquired by the Reporting Persons 22,827 shares
of Common Stock were received in exchange for shares the Reporting Persons held
in Carlton Foods, Inc., one of the companies acquired on March 15, 1996. The
Reporting Persons also received an additional 13,404 shares of Common Stock on
March 15, 1996 in consideration for the forgiveness of a loan made by the
Reporting Persons to the Issuer in November 1991. The remaining 200,000 shares
of Common Stock were acquired through the private placement at a price of $1.05.
The funds used by the Reporting Persons to purchase these securities were
personal funds.

        Since 1996, the Reporting Person has occasionally purchased additional
securities with personal funds.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

        The Reporting Persons purchased the Common Stock for investment
purposes. The Reporting Persons currently intend to hold the securities for
investment, but may, at some future time depending on market conditions and
other factors, acquire additional shares of Common Stock (through one or more
market purchases or purchases in private transactions) or dispose of all or a
portion of the securities which they now own or hereafter may acquire.

        Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons have no present plans
or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions described in
subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

        The Reporting Persons beneficially own 403,068 shares of Common Stock
which represent approximately 5.4% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock
as of March 24, 1999 (based on information provided in the Issuer's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998) the Reporting Persons
may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over all shares
beneficially owned.
