  • Patent number: 7360666
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a body that has a planar bottom surface, sidewalls extending upwardly therefrom, and linear dividers radially protruding away from a center of the body. The dividers cooperate with the sidewalls for defining compartments for housing food stuff therein. The body has a lip vertically offset from the bottom surface. The dividers have proximal ends juxtaposed adjacent to the lip and adjoining an outer perimeter thereof. The perimeter of the lip has a threaded outer surface. A receptacle confronts a selected side wall and has a planar bottom surface and side walls protruding upwardly therefrom. The receptacle houses utensils therein such that the user can simultaneously support utensils, food stuff and a beverage on the body. A cup holder rests on the lip and is removably engageable therewith. A handle that has a frusto-conical shape is removably engageable with the lip.
