When someone in a buffet line, or at a party, fills their paper plate with food then puts an upside plate on top. The point being to steal or hoard this food for later or for another person. Another plate is often filled and placed on top of the first set of plates.
"Cause all them women were making flyin' saucers we already done run outta food at our United Way holiday party."
