I mean I'm amused, but also not understanding why it's this much of a huge deal that he served fast food? Were they like, promised a banquet? Are previous winning teams invited to the white house served fancy dinners? Legit asking here.
Like imma be honest here if I was back in college and literally anyone set before me a massive spread of Wendy's and Pizza I would not complain. TBH you could do this for me now and be met with sound approval.
I think it's just that it's classic Trump: absurdly gauche and perfectly in line with a stereotypical kid's dream of being rich. Funny, yes, but beneath the dignity of the office.
And yeah, usually people invited to the White House are fed via the White House mess, which can serve up to 140 (although it only has seating for 50). The food varies, but it's cooked by Navy cooks and
you can find menus. Event food is broadly similar.
Is there actually a clear history of burgers? You've got your Belgian fries and your Italian pizza, but where are hamburgers from? I'm going to go ahead and assume it's not Hamburg.
Actually there is; hamburgers came from Hamburg steaks, which were either chopped or pounded steak patties filled with fried onions. They got sandwich-ified in the mid-1800s for convenience, since they could be cooked fast but need a knife and fork to eat before someone stuck them in a bun.
