Item 5.  Other Events

         On April 2, 2001, the trustee under the Boston Chicken, Inc. plan of
reorganization (the "Boston Chicken Plan Trustee") filed a joint plan of
reorganization of the Company and Einstein/Noah Bagel Partners, L.P. ("Bagel
Partners"), together with a form of disclosure statement relating to such plan,
with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona (the "Bankruptcy
Court").  Under the terms of the plan, the Company's $125.0 million 7 1/4%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2004 (the "Debentures") would be
reinstated and other unsecured creditor claims would be paid in full.  Holders
of the Debentures would also have a right to exchange the principal amount of
their Debentures and accrued interest thereon for shares of new common stock in
the Company at an exchange rate of $17.50 in principal or interest per share.
Common stockholders in the Company would receive that number of shares of new
common stock in the reorganized Company equal to 10 million less the number of
shares of new common stock that would be delivered to holders of Debentures in
the exchange if all holders of Debentures elected to exchange their Debentures.

         The equity interests in Bagel Partners held by persons other than the
Company and its subsidiary (primarily Bagel Store Development Funding, L.L.C.
("Bagel Funding")), would remain outstanding, but certain contractual rights of
Bagel Funding to require the Company or Bagel Partners to redeem such interest
(the "Put Right"), would be eliminated.

         Under the plan, ENBC and Bagel Partners would obtain new bank
financing in the principal amount of $85.0 million and the Company's pre-
petition secured bank financing and debtor-in-possession financing would be
satisfied in full. The form of disclosure statement for the plan includes as an
appendix a term sheet for the new bank financing but does not include a
financing commitment.

         The form of disclosure statement for the plan also includes as an
appendix an agreement between the Boston Chicken Plan Trustee and New World
Coffee-Manhattan Bagel, Inc. ("New World"), pursuant to which New World has
agreed to support the plan.
