Abstract: A foldup food holder made of stiff paperboard provides a base panel; a first side panel; a second side panel; a first end panel; a second end panel; a first tab; and a second tab; the side panels joined with the base panel; the end panels joined contiguously with and extensive from the side panels. The tabs are extensive from and joined contiguously with the end panels so that the tabs are positioned for engaging slots in the side panels when the apparatus is folded into a food holder or container.
