ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

         (a)     This statement is being filed jointly by (i) Yucaipa Waterton
Deli Investors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability corporation ("Deli

corporation ("Waterton"), and (iii) Kenneth J. Abdalla, an individual.  Mr.

         (b)     The address of the principal business and principal office of
each of the Reporting Persons is 10000 Santa Monica Boulevard, Fifth Floor, Los
Angeles, California 90067.

         (c)     The principal business of Mr. Abdalla and Waterton is to make

been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or
similar misdemeanors).

         (e)     None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years,
been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a

or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding
any violation with respect to such laws.

         (f)     Mr. Abdalla is a United States citizen.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         On August 30, 1996, the Company completed the sale to Deli Investors
of 6,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") and
warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase 65,000 shares of the Company's common
stock, no par value (the "Common Stock") for an aggregate purchase price of
$6,000,100.  The Company also granted options (the "Options") to Waterton to
purchase an additional $13,000,000 of Preferred Stock and Warrants to acquire a
total of 140,833 shares of Common Stock, upon the same terms and conditions as
those received by Deli Investors in connection with the initial purchase.  See
Item 6 below.  The funds used by Deli Investors to acquire the Preferred Stock
and the Warrants were obtained from the capital contributions of its members.
The source of funds to be used by Waterton or its designees in connection with
any exercise of the Options has not been determined as of the date hereof, but
may include additional capital contributions or future borrowings.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         The Reporting Persons acquired the Preferred Stock, Warrants and
Options from the Company for purposes of investment.  Waterton or its designees
may acquire additional Preferred Stock or Warrants upon the exercise of the
Options.  See Item 6 below.

         Pursuant to the letter agreement dated as of August 22, 1996, pursuant
to which the Options were granted (the "Option Letter"), the Company agreed
that, upon five (5) business days written notice from





                                 (Page 5 of 12)
<PAGE>   6
Waterton stating that Mr. Abdalla desired to become a member of the Board of
Directors, it would so nominate him and that such nomination would be approved
within ten (10) business days thereafter.  In addition, if Waterton has
exercised its Option to acquire an additional $13 million of Preferred Stock,
it will be entitled to designate one additional person to sit on the Company's
Board of Directors.

         The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Company
from time to time and, depending upon the price and availability of the Common
Stock, subsequent developments affecting the Company, the Company's business
and prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to the
Reporting Persons, general stock market and economic conditions, tax
considerations and other factors deemed relevant, may decide to increase or
decrease the size of their investment in the Company.

         Except as described herein and in Item 6 below, none of the Reporting
Persons has any present plan or proposal which relates to, or could result in,
any of the events referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item
4 of Schedule 13D.  However, the Reporting Persons will continue to review the
business of the Company and, depending upon one or more of the factors referred
to above, may in the future propose that the Company take one or more of such
actions.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         (a)     Deli Investors owns 6,000 shares of Preferred Stock and
Warrants to acquire 65,000 shares of Common Stock.  Commencing on November 30,
1996 the Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of the Company's
Common Stock.  The Preferred Stock will automatically convert to Common Stock
on August 30, 1999.  Each share of Preferred Stock will convert into a number
of shares of Common Stock to determined by dividing its Designated Value (equal
to $1,000 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends) by the product of (i)
the average closing bid price for the Common Stock on the preceding five
trading days (the "Closing Price") and (ii) .83; provided, however, that in no
event shall the product of such two items be less than $3.00 or greater than
$6.00 for purposes of any conversion.  The Warrants are exercisable prior to
August 22, 1999 at the price of $1.00 per share (subject to customary
anti-dilution adjustments).  Pursuant to such conversion and exercise
provisions, Deli Investors may be deemed to beneficially own a minimum of
1,065,000 shares (9.3%) of the Company's Common Stock and, if the product of
the Closing Price and .83 is $3.00 or less at the time of conversion, a maximum
of 2,065,000 shares (16.6%) of the Company's Common Stock.

         Pursuant to the Option Letter, Waterton has been granted an option to
acquire (i) an additional 6,000 shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants to
acquire an additional 65,000 shares of Common Stock for aggregate consideration
of $6 million on or before September 30, 1996 and (ii) an additional 7,000
shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants to acquire an additional 75,833 shares
of Common Stock on or before November 30, 1996.  As described in Item 6 below,
the periods in which such Options are exercisable may be extended if certain
waivers or approvals have not been obtained.  Pursuant to the conversion and
exercise provisions (as described above) of the Preferred Stock and Warrants
issuable upon exercise of the Options, Waterton may be deemed to beneficially
own a minimum of 2,307,499.67 shares (18.2%) of the Company's Common Stock,
and, if the product of the Closing Price and .83 is $3.00 or less at the time
of conversion, a maximum of 4,474,166.33 shares (30.1%) of the Company's Common
Stock.

         As a result of Mr. Abdalla's status as the manager of Deli Investors
and Waterton, he has the ability to vote and dispose their holdings and,
consequently, may be deemed to beneficially own all of the Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Preferred Stock and Warrants beneficially owned
by Deli Investors and Waterton.  This would represent beneficial ownership of a
minimum of 3,372,499.67 shares (24.5%) of the Company's Common Stock and, on
the same assumptions indicated above, a maximum of 6,539,166.33 (38.6%) shares
of the Company's Common Stock.





                                 (Page 6 of 12)
<PAGE>   7
         (b)     As a result of Mr. Abdalla's status as the manager of Deli
Investors and Waterton, he may be deemed to have shared dispositive and voting
power with respect to the minimum of 1,065,000 shares (9.3%) and the maximum of
2,065,000 shares (16.6%) of the Company's Common Stock which may be deemed to
be beneficially owned by Deli Investors and the minimum of 2,307,499.67 shares
(18.2%) and the maximum of 4,474,166.33 shares (30.1%) of the Company's Common
Stock which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Waterton.

         (c)     Except as described in Item 3 above, there have not been any
transactions in the Common Stock effected by or for the account of the
Reporting Persons during the past 60 days.

         (d)     Except as stated in this Item 5, to the best knowledge of the
Reporting Persons, no other person has 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 owned by the Reporting Persons.

         (e)     Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR
         RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         On August 30, 1996, Deli Investors acquired 6,000 shares of Preferred
Stock and Warrants to acquire 65,000 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate
purchase price of $6,000,100.  Deli Investors made the investment pursuant to a
Private Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of August 22, 1996 (the
"Purchase Agreement").  In addition, the Company and Deli Investors entered
into a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of August 22, 1996 (the
"Registration Rights Agreement").  The rights, preferences and privileges of
the Preferred Stock were set forth in the Second Amended and Restated
Certificate of Determination of Rights and Preferences of Series A Preferred
Shares (the "Preferred Stock Certificate").  The terms of the Warrants were set
forth in a Common Stock Purchase Warrant Certificate dated as of August 26,
1996 (the "Warrant Certificate").  In addition the Company entered into the
Option Letter with Waterton and also entered into a second letter agreement
dated as of August 22, 1996 (the "Preferred Stock Voting Letter") with
Waterton.  In addition, The Starkman Family Trust, the principal shareholder of
the Company, also entered into a letter agreement dated as of August 22, 1996
(the "Shareholder Letter") with Waterton.  Each of the foregoing documents has
been filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and are hereby incorporated by
reference.  The following summary of certain provisions of such agreements is
qualified by reference to the more detailed terms and conditions contained
therein.

         The Purchase Agreement set forth the principal terms of Deli
Investor's purchase of the Preferred Stock and Warrants.  It also included
customary representations and warranties with respect to each party.  Pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has granted Deli Investors a right of
first refusal to purchase any shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible
into Common Stock, which the Company offers for sale in a private placement
prior to November 30, 1996.

         The Preferred Stock has a right to dividends in the amount of $80.00
per share per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, in cash or, at the option of
the Company, in additional shares of Common Stock.  Each share has a liquidation
preference of $1,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Each share of
Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder, commencing ninety
days following the original issuance of the Preferred Stock, into shares of
Common Stock.  Each share of Preferred Stock will be convertible into a number
of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing its Designated Value by the
product of the Closing Price and .83; provided, however, that in no event shall
the product of such two items be less than $3.00 or greater than $6.00 for
purposes of any conversion.  See Item 5 above.  The Preferred Stock will
automatically be converted to Common Stock on August 30, 1999. The holders of
Preferred Stock have no voting rights, except as may be





                                 (Page 7 of 12)

required by law.  However, pursuant to the Preferred Stock Voting Letter, the
Company has agreed to seek approval from Nasdaq to issue a new class of Series
B Preferred Stock into which the Preferred stock may be converted if Nasdaq
approval is obtained.  The Series B Preferred Stock will be identical to the
Preferred Stock except for its right to vote on all matters which are presented
to Shareholders of Common Stock for a vote.  The Company has requested Nasdaq
to approve voting rights for each share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to
109 shares of Common Stock, based upon the purchase price of $1,000 per share
of Preferred Stock and a market price of $9.125 per share for the Company's
Common Stock on August 23, 1999.

         Pursuant to the Warrant Certificates, the Warrants are exercisable at
any time prior to August 22, 1999 for up to 65,000 shares of Common Stock, at
an exercise price of $1.00 per share.  The Warrant Certificate contains certain
customary antidilution provisions.

         Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed
to register for resale the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Preferred Stock prior to the time the shares of Preferred Stock become
convertible into Common Stock.  The Company is required to make certain
payments to the holders of Preferred Stock if the registration statement has
not been declared effective at the required time.  The Company will also
provide customary indemnification to holders of registrable securities within
the meaning of the Registration Rights Agreement.

         Pursuant to the Option Letter, the Company has granted options to
Waterton to purchase an additional $13,000,000 of Preferred Stock and Warrants
to purchase an additional 140,833 shares of Common Stock, upon the same terms
and conditions as the initial sale of Preferred Stock and Warrants to Deli
Investors.  The Options are exercisable upon the Company obtaining a waiver
from Nasdaq of its requirement for a shareholder vote to approve an issuance of
shares in excess of 20% of the total outstanding shares or, if such waiver is
not obtained, upon the Company's obtaining shareholder approval of the issuance
of such additional Shares.  Pursuant to the Shareholder Letter, The Starkman
Family Trust has agreed to vote in favor of such an approval.  In addition, the
exercise of the Option is subject to the receipt of any required Hart-
Scott-Rodino approval.  If such approvals are obtained, Waterton or its
designee will have until September 30, 1996 to complete the purchase of an
additional $6,000,000 of Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase an additional
65,000 shares of Common Stock, and until November 30, 1996 to purchase an
additional $7,000,000 of Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase an additional
75,833 shares of Common Stock.  Such time periods may be extended if the
required approvals have not been obtained within a specified period prior to
the designated dates.

         The Option Letter also provides that in the event that Waterton and
its designees (including Deli Investors) purchase a total of $19,000,000 of
Preferred Stock, Waterton will have a five-day right of first refusal to
purchase any additional shares of Common Stock or other securities convertible
into Common Stock offered by the Company in a private placement for a period of
two years.  In addition, pursuant to the Shareholder Letter, the Starkman Trust
has agreed to give Waterton or its designees certain rights of first refusal to
purchase any additional shares of Common Stock offered for sale by the Starkman
Trust in excess of 1,000,000 shares for a period of two years.

         The Option Letter also contains the Company's agreement to expand its
board of directors and to appoint Mr. Abdalla as a director upon the request of
Waterton.  If Waterton or its designee purchases an additional $13 million of
Preferred Stock, Waterton will be entitled to appoint one additional person to
the Company's board of directors.

         Except as set forth herein, none of the Reporting Persons have any
contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise)
with any person with respect to any securities of the Company, including but
not limited to any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships

ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits,
division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
