Abstract: A device for holding a hamburger during its consumption is described. The holder includes a thin hourglass-shaped body member formed at either of its enlarged ends with a U-shaped jaw. The body member is formed of a semi-rigid plastic which flexes about its narrow central portion or is formed with a fold line that serves as a hinge, whereby the jaws can be drawn towards one another. A user can grip a hamburger between the jaws thereby avoiding excessive finger contact with the foodstuff during consumption.
