Food carrier

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

• an insulated housing having a closed bottom, a closed top, and at least one side wall having a first opening proximate the top of the housing and a second opening proximate the bottom of the housing, the first opening being sized to receive at least one meal container therethrough, the second opening being sized to allow removal of the meal containers from within the housing and to preclude simultaneous removal of all of the meal containers from within the housing, thereby limiting heat transfer from within the housing;
• a first door operably connected with the housing, the first door movable between an open position, wherein the meal containers may be loaded into the housing via the first opening, and a closed position, wherein the first door covers the first opening, thereby limiting heat transfer from within the housing;
• and
• a second door operably connected with the housing, the second door movable between an open position, wherein the meal containers may be removed from within the housing via the second opening, and a closed position, wherein the second door covers the second opening, thereby limiting heat transfer from within the housing.
