                                34-12 36th Street
                             Astoria, New York 11106

   This Proxy Statement Supplement (the "Supplement") supplements the Proxy 
Statement ("Proxy Statement"), dated June 5, 1996, of Food Court 
Entertainment Network, Inc. (the "Company"). This Supplement and the 
accompanying Proxy Statement are being used to solicit proxies on behalf of 
the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with the Company's 1996 
Annual Meeting of Stockholders which has been postponed until July 18, 1996. 
The Supplement updates certain information set forth in the Company's Proxy 
Statement and the Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy 
Statement. 

   The Board of Directors of the Company has amended the 1996 Stock Option 
Plan for Directors (the "Plan") described in Proposal 3 to permit 
participation in the Plan by any non-employee director of the Company who 
does not beneficially own shares of the Company's Series B Common Stock and, 
as a result thereof, to increase the aggregate number of shares of the 
Company's Series A Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan from 
550,000 to 630,000. Accordingly, the following information included in the 
Proxy Statement has been restated as set forth below. 

   The information set forth on page 23 of the Proxy Statement under the 
caption "Eligibility and Number of Options" is restated in its entirety to 
read as follows: 

       "Eligibility and Number of Options
 
         Each person who (i) is, as of July 18, 1996, a director of the 
       Company or any subsidiary corporation, and (ii) is not as of 
       such date an employee of the Company or any subsidiary 
       corporation, and (iii) does not beneficially own shares of the 
       Company's Series B Common Stock, shall, as of July 18, 1996, 
       automatically be granted an option to purchase 90,000 shares of 
       the Company's Series A Common Stock.
 
         Each person who (i) is not a director of the Company or any 
       subsidiary corporation as of July 18, 1996, and (ii) is not an 
       employee of the Company or any subsidiary corporation, and (iii) 
       does not beneficially own shares of the Company's Series B 
       Common Stock, and who on or after July 18, 1996 is first elected 
       or appointed as a director of the Company or any subsidiary 
       corporation, shall, as of the date of such election or 
       appointment, automatically be granted an option to purchase 
       90,000 shares of the Company's Series A Common Stock or such 
       lower number of shares as shall be equal to the number of shares 
       then available (if any) for grant under the Director Plan 
       divided by the number of persons who are to receive options on 
       such date.
 
         Assuming that the Director Plan is approved by the 
       stockholders of the Company, and assuming all of the 
       non-employee nominees for director are elected, Messrs. Frank, 
       Penisten, Phillips, Wussler, Shapiro, Heyer and McMenamin will 
       each receive, as of July 18, 1996, options under the Director 
       Plan to purchase an aggregate of 90,000 shares of the Company's 
       Series A Common Stock. Mr. Steinberg is not eligible to receive 
       options under the Director Plan." 

   The information set forth on page 24 of the Proxy Statement under the 
caption "Aggregate Number of Shares" is restated to read in its entirety as 
follows: 

       "Aggregate Number of Shares
 
         The aggregate number of shares which may be issued upon the 
       exercise of options under the Director Plan is 630,000 shares of 
       the Company's Series A Common Stock. In the event of any change 
       in the capitalization of the Company, such as by stock dividend, 
       stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, 
       consolidation or what the Board of Directors deems in its sole 
       discretion to be similar circumstances, the aggregate number and 
       kind of shares which may be issued under the Director Plan will 
       be appropriately adjusted in a manner determined in the sole 
       discretion of the Board of Directors. Reacquired shares of the 
<PAGE>

       Company's Common Stock, as well as unissued shares, may be used for the 
       purpose of the Director Plan. Common Stock of the Company 
       subject to options which have terminated unexercised, either in 
       whole or in part, will be available for future options granted 
       under the Director Plan." 

   The information set forth on page A-1 of Exhibit A of the Proxy Statement 
under Section 2 of the Plan is restated to read in its entirety as follows: 

       "2. Aggregate Number of Shares
 
         630,000 shares of the Company's Series A Common Stock, par 
       value $.01 per share ("Series A Common Stock"), shall be the 
       aggregate number of shares which may be issued under this Plan. 
       Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any change in the 
       outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company by reason 
       of a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, 
       recapitalization, merger, consolidation, transfer of assets, 
       reorganization, conversion or what the Board of Directors deems 
       in its sole discretion to be similar circumstances, the 
       aggregate number and kind of shares which may be issued under 
       this Plan shall be appropriately adjusted in a manner determined 
       in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. Reacquired 
       shares of the Company's Series A Common Stock, as well as 
       unissued shares, may be used for the purpose of this Plan. 
       Series A Common Stock of the Company subject to options which 
       have terminated unexercised, either in whole or in part, shall 
       be available for future options granted under the Plan." 

   The information set forth on page A-1 of Exhibit A of the Proxy Statement 
under Section 3 of the Plan is restated in its entirety as follows: 

       "3. Participation
 
         Each person who (i) is, as of July 18, 1996, a director of the 
       Company or any subsidiary corporation, and (ii) is not as of 
       such date an employee of the Company or any subsidiary 
       corporation, and (iii) does not beneficially own shares of the 
       Company's Series B Common Stock shall, as of July 18, 1996, 
       automatically be granted an option to purchase 90,000 shares of 
       the Company's Common Stock (such figure to be subject to 
       adjustment for the same events described in Section 2 hereof). 
       Each person who (i) is not a director of the Company as of July 
       18, 1996, and (ii) is not an employee of the Company or any 
       subsidiary corporation and (iii) does not beneficially own 
       shares of the Company's Series B Common Stock and who on or 
       after July 18, 1996 is first elected or appointed as a director 
       of the Company or any subsidiary corporation shall, as of the 
       date of such election or appointment, automatically be granted 
       an option to purchase 90,000 shares of the Company's Series A 
       Common Stock (such figure to be subject to adjustment for the 
       same events described in Section 2 hereof) or such lower number 
       of shares as shall be equal to the number of shares as shall 
       then be available (if any) for grant under the Plan divided by 
       the number of persons who are to receive an option on such date, 
       subject, however, to the provisions of Section 6 hereof."
