The crown 12 extends upwardly from the brim 14.

(7) The tray 20 is circular, has a bottom wall 40 and has a center 21 with an opening 22 disposed through the center 21. The crown 12 is removably disposed through the opening 22 with the tray 20 resting, upon the brim 14. The tray 20 has an outer rim 23, and also has an inner rim 24 forming the opening 22 through the tray 20. The outer and inner rims 23, 24 are turned upwardly. The tray 20 also has raised portions 25 spaced apart and disposed upon the bottom wall 40 and integrally interconnecting the inner and outer rims 23, 24 to form compartments 34, 35 therebetween upon the bottom wall 40 to support food and beverages. One of the compartments 35 has recessed portions 26 spaced apart and sized to support beverage containers including shot glasses.

(8) The crown 12 has a top 13 with a hole 18 disposed therethrough. A container 27 having, bottom and side walls 28, 29 and also a top 30 with a cavity 31 disposed therein for supporting food.
