Refrigeration/rethermalization food delivery system

A food refrigeration and rethermalization system comprising:

• (a) a cart comprising:
• (i) a housing including opposed first and second sidewalls, a thermal partition that divides an interior space in the housing into a cold chamber and a hot chamber, and a substantially open front configured to receive food items therethrough;
• (ii) a vertically oriented cold air plenum formed between the first sidewall of the housing, a cold air distribution panel, a substantially open front end and a closed back end;
• the cold air distribution panel having a plurality of cold air vents forming a plurality of cold air flow paths between the cold air plenum and the cold chamber;
• (iii) a vertically oriented hot air plenum formed between the second sidewall of the housing, a hot air distribution panel, a substantially open front end, and a closed back end;
• the hot air distribution panel having a plurality of hot air vents forming a plurality of hot air flow paths between the hot air plenum and the hot chamber;
• and
• (b) a docking station comprising:
• (i) a cold air supply system for supplying forced chilled air into the substantially open front end of the cold air plenum;
• (ii) a hot air supply system for supplying forced heated air into the substantially open front end of the hot air plenum;
• and
• (iii) one or more seals configured to provide substantially air-tight mating engagement between the docking station and the front of the cart when the cart is docked to the docking station.
