A plate carrier is carried on a server's forearm. The carrier comprises a horizontal support portion for carrying the plate carrier on the forearm and a vertical spine with at least one plate holder. The horizontal support resides between the elbow and the palm, and comprises a plastic support surface and a metal backing. The vertical spine extends downwardly from the horizontal support, looping around the forearm, and continuing downward below the server's forearm. The spine is laterally centered on the horizontal support, and longitudinally closer to the elbow than the palm. The plate holders extend longitudinally with respect to the horizontal support, and a majority of the plate holders extend forward from the spine.

I claim: 1. A plate carrier comprising: a horizontal support having a centerline and including a substantially flat support surface configured for carrying on a forearm of a server with the centerline of the horizontal support aligned with a forearm length LF of the forearm and having a longitudinal support length LS parallel to the centerline and a lateral support width WS perpendicular to the centerline, the support width WS extending across the forearm while carried; a spine carried by the horizontal support and extending downward from the horizontal support, the spine including; a vertical loop portion aligned with the support width WS and having a loop height HL and a loop depth DL and comprising an upper segment residing adjacent to the horizontal support, a center segment laterally displaced from the horizontal support centerline and extending downward from the upper segment, and a lower segment returning perpendicular to the centerline of the horizontal support under the horizontal support allowing the horizontal support to be carried on the forearm with the loop portion looping around the forearm; and a plate holder portion extending down from the lower segment of the loop portion, the plate holder portion approximately laterally centered under the horizontal support by the loop portion; and at least one plate holder extending from the plate holder portion parallel to the centerline of the horizontal support and configured for carrying plates laterally centered under the horizontal support. 2. The plate carrier of claim 1, wherein the support width WS is between approximately one inch and approximately two inches. 3. The plate carrier of claim 2, wherein the support length LS is between approximately two inches and approximately twelve inches. 4. The plate carrier of claim 3, wherein the support length LS is approximately eight inches. 5. The plate carrier of claim 1, wherein; the support surface has a forward end and a rearward end; the spine is attached proximal to the rearward end; and the forward end includes an upwardly arched portion to follow a contour of a server's hand. 6. The plate carrier of claim 5, wherein the upwardly arched portion includes a thumb hole. 7. The plate carrier of claim 1, wherein the lower segment of the loop portion returns to approximately a center of the support width WS of the horizontal support. 8. The plate carrier of claim 1, wherein the horizontal support is made from a flexible or soft material and the plate carrier further includes a horizontally residing support bracket residing against the horizontal support for providing support to the horizontal support. 9. The plate carrier of claim 1, wherein the loop height HL is approximately 4.5 inches and the loop depth DL is approximately two inches. 10. The plate carrier of claim 1, wherein the spine further includes a spine upper portion extending upwards from the horizontal support and having at least one plate holder. 11. The plate carrier of claim 1, wherein the at least one plate holder comprises two downward angled pins and one upward angled pin. 12. The plate carrier of claim 11, wherein the downward angled pins are angled downward from the spine and the upward angled pin is angled upward from the spine. 13. The plate carrier of claim 1, wherein the at least one plate holder comprises at least one forward facing plate holder. 14. The plate carrier of claim 1, further including a stand to cooperating with the plate carrier to hold the plate carrier in a substantially vertical position. 15. A plate carrier comprising: a horizontal support having a longitudinally running centerline CL and substantially rectangular shape, residing horizontally, and having a support length LS of between approximately two inches and approximately twelve inches along the centerline CL of the horizontal support and support width WS of between approximately one inch and approximately two inches perpendicular to the centerline CL; a longitudinally extending horizontal lower support surface of the horizontal support configured for laying against a forearm of a server with the centerline CL of the horizontal support aligned with a length LF of the forearm; a spine attached to the horizontal support comprising; a vertical loop portion residing just below the horizontal support, the loop portion including: a vertical portion reaching down between approximately four inches and approximately five inches below the horizontal support, from a point offset between approximately 1.5 inches and approximately 2.5 inches laterally from the centerline CL; and a horizontal lower portion reaching under the horizontal support, from the bottom of the vertical portion, a lateral distance between approximately 1.5 inches and approximately 2.5 inches perpendicular to the centerline CL; and a plate holder portion extending down from the loop portion, wherein the plate holder portion is approximately laterally centered under the horizontal support; and at least one plate holder attached to the plate holder portion of the spine and carrying plates laterally centered under the horizontal support. 16. The plate carrier of claim 15, wherein the at least one plate holder comprises at least one plate holder extending in the longitudinal dimension from the plate holder portion. 17. The plate carrier of claim 15, wherein the spine includes an upper portion extending above the horizontal support, wherein a plate holder is attached to the upper portion. 18. The plate carrier of claim 15, wherein; the horizontal support has a forward end and a rearward end; the spine is attached proximal to the rearward end; and the forward end includes an upwardly arched portion. 19. A plate carrier comprising: a horizontal support having a longitudinal centerline CL and a lateral dimension perpendicular to the centerline CL, and including a longitudinally extending horizontal lower support surface configured for laying against a forearm of a server with the centerline CL of the horizontal support aligned with a length LF of the forearm, the horizontal support having a support length LS parallel to the centerline CL and a support width WS perpendicular to the centerline CL, and the support surface extending most of the support length LS and comprising a lower surface of the horizontal support; a spine attached to the horizontal support and extending downward from the horizontal support, the spine including: a vertical loop portion connected to the horizontal support and aligned with the width of the horizontal support and extending downward from the horizontal support for passing beside the forearm of the server and back under the forearm of the server; and a plate holder portion attached to a bottom of the loop portion and extending down from the loop portion, the loop portion positioning the plate holder portion approximately laterally centered under the horizontal support; and at least two vertically spaced apart plate holders attached to the plate holder portion. 20. The plate carrier of claim 19, wherein the horizontal support is made from a flexible or soft material and the plate carrier further includes a horizontally residing support bracket residing against the horizontal support for providing support to the horizontal support.
