SMALL BITES WHAT YOUR SAUCE SAYS ABOUT YOU.

Byline: - Larry Lipson

Before dipping a piece of food into a sauce, look around you. Someone may be watching.

KFC, which recently introduced three optional sauces for its chicken wings, has partnered with Dr. Alan R. Hirsch, author of an upcoming book, ``What's Your Food Sign? How to Use Food Cues to Find True Love,'' who analyzed KFC's Honey BBQ, Sweet & Spicy and Fiery Buffalo sauces.

According to Hirsch, the Honey lovers ``are aggressive, achievement-oriented, take-charge leaders ... romantically compatible with fellow Honey BBQs or Fiery Buffaloes, they tend to be the dominant partner in a relationship.''

Fiery Buffalo types, he says, ``are agreeable, nonconfrontational, loyal and true, and enjoy leisure activities.''

Hirsch adds, ``They're more romantically compatible with other Fiery Buffalos but can be quite dependent on their mates.''

Sweet & Spicy fanciers, he says, ``are colorful, flamboyant extroverts ... found in high-visibility careers like acting or fashion design ... and prefer new and exciting experiences socially, professionally and romantically.''

OPENING SOON: There are some interesting new restaurants around town that have spruced up for their unveilings.

The popular Jumpin' Java Kitchen at 11919 Ventura Blvd., Studio City, has spawned Sona's, which plans to begin serving breakfast, lunch and dinner on Nov. 15 at 16240 Ventura Blvd., Encino. Owner-operators are chef Sona Grigorian and husband Armen. Information: [phone].

Now open to the public for the first time in its fabled history is the former Friars' Club, presently called The Friars of Beverly Hills, 9900 Santa Monica Blvd.

You have to figure that the roasts here will be somewhat different from the famous ones of the past.

A number of celebrities showed up at its debut, along with local television coverage.
