ABSTRACT:
A holder for food, drink and utensils includes a flat oval-shaped platform having a central food supporting portion and an upturned peripheral retaining lip, and a pair of cup-shaped recessed compartments connected to and extending below the platform. The compartments are spaced from one another at opposite ends of the platform. One recessed compartment is a beverage container compartment and the other is a utensil compartment. A third recessed compartment can be provided as an option to hold a party dip. The container compartment is larger in diameter than the utensil compartment. The dip compartment is preferably oblong in shape and of a shallower depth than the other two which are equal in depth. The container and utensil compartments make the holder capable of standing by itself in an upright fashion. Further, the two compartments are spaced apart sufficiently to allow insertion of a person's hand between them and then cupping of the hand for gripping the exterior of the container compartment to hold and position the holder with the central platform portion resting on top of the cupped hand and the exterior of the utensil compartment contacting the back of the cupped hand. Also, the compartments each have a tapered configuration which allows stacking of holders with their corresponding compartments in nested relationship with one another.
