Food carrier

A controlled temperature food carrier for carrying a plurality of meal containers, comprising:

• an insulated housing having a closed bottom, an open top, a front wall having a pair of openings adjacent the bottom of the housing, and a dividing partition, the open top being sized to receive at least two side-by-side stacks of meal containers therethrough, the opening in the front wall being sized to allow removal of meal containers from either stack of meal containers and to preclude simultaneous removal of all of the meal containers, thereby limiting heat transfer from within the housing, the partition located within the housing and adapted to extend between the side-by-side stacks of meal containers;
• a lid operably connected with the housing, the lid movable between an open position, wherein the meal containers may be loaded into the housing via the open top, and a closed position, wherein the lid covers the open top, thereby limiting heat transfer from within the housing;
• and
• a pair of doors operably connected with the housing, each of the doors movable between an open position, wherein the meal containers may be removed from within the housing via the associated opening in the front wall, and a closed position, wherein the door covers the associated opening in the front wall, thereby limiting heat transfer from within the housing.
