AND IT'S THREE-, FOUR-, FIVE-STAR DINING AT THE OLD BALLGAME

          Restauranteurs Larry and Mark Levy, whose company Levy
     Enterprises (LE) "supplies premium concessions" to skyboxes,
     luxury suites and private clubs in sports arenas around the
     country, are profiled by Richard Gibson of the WALL STREET
     JOURNAL.  LE's client list, which includes Wrigley Field,
     Jacobs Field and Arrowhead Stadium, will jump from 14 to 27
     "within the next year," and Gibson writes that the
     "standard" Levy ballpark fare includes "couscous with
     apricots and currants, not Cracker Jack."  LE runs "some of
     the top dining spots in Chicago," in contrast to its two
     biggest arena competitors, Aramark Corp. and Sportservice
     Corp., which are "food-service companies" that also run
     stadium stands.  LE has partnered with Ogden Entertainment,
     which provides stadium stand fare at LE arenas.  Larry Levy
     sees plenty of "growth possibilities" in sports catering,
     including college games (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 4/30).
