A food tray has a flat plate with an upper surface and a lower surface; a first and a second side and a first and a second end of the plate; a first elbow being positioned under the tray and approximately at the corner of the first end and first side, and a second elbow being positioned under the tray and approximately at the corner of the second end and the first side; the two elbows each having a first portion attached to the lower surface of the plate and being long enough to extend nearly to the bottom of an armchair cupholder; and a second portion angled to pass under the bottom of an armchair cupholder.
