BUCA, INC. (Nasdaq:BUCA);

Five analysts and top management from fourteen sector firms examine the Restaurant Industry sector in this special 91-page issue from The Wall Street Transcript, available at (212/952-7433) or http://www.twst.com/info/info404.htm

“We like the BUCA management team,” states an industry expert. “BUCA’s stock has suffered recently, more than any in that high-growth niche, but Micatrotto has taken care of every single thing he could possibly have control over. Micatrotto has gotten BUCA’s units up ahead of time in terms of their growth. He manages BUCA business very well, and hasn’t really received the due that he deserve in terms of being a fine operator.” “The main thing about BUCA’s management is that Micatrotto is successfully managing a rapid growth rate,” says another top analyst. “One of the difficulties you run into in growing a chain rapidly is picking poor sites and having operations slip up at your older stores. I think Micatrotto has done a great job of preventing that from happening. BUCA’s new stores are opening real strong, and up until the last couple of months with the economy being weaker, their sales trends have remained quite healthy in their older stores. BUCA has been able to improve their margins along the way.”

This special conference issue includes:

1) Restaurant Industry - In an in-depth (13,000 words) Analyst Roundtable, Andrew Barish, Managing Director at Banc of America Securities, Joseph Buckley, Senior Managing Director at Bear, Stearns & Company, Mark Kalinowski, Vice President at Salomon Smith Barney and Janice Meyer, Managing Director at Credit Suisse First Boston, examine the outlook for the sector including, economic outlook, new restaurant concepts and share specific stock recommendations.

2) The TWST confidential Off-The-Record survey of management performance at nineteen sector firms asked market insiders about the ability of management teams to create shareholder value.

3) Restaurant Stocks - In an in-depth (3,500 words) Analyst Interview, Damon Brundage, Vice President of Equity Research at Raymond James & Associates examines the outlook for the sector and shares specific stock recommendations.

4) CEO and Sponsored interviews (average 2,500 words). Top management of fourteen sector firms examine the outlook for their firm and the sector.
