The resulting buffet, which included hamburgers, fries, salads, and fish sandwiches from McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s alongside Domino’s pizza, was a strange choice, particularly for an event held in the 140-seat State Dining Room, which traditionally hosts formal dinners for ambassadors and heads of state.
But it was also a choice that Trump and the White House blamed on the partial government shutdown, the longest in US history. Like many other federal institutions, the White House kitchen was not operating at the time, partly a result of Trump’s refusal to support a bill that doesn’t include funding for a $5 billion wall on the Mexican border.
In an explanation for the evening’s menu, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted, “The Democrats’ refusal to compromise on border security and reopen the government didn’t stop President Trump from hosting national champion @ClemsonFB tonight. He personally paid for the event to be catered by some of America’s great fast food joints.”

What's this in reference to?
Obama was flying somewhere for an event I believe and ordered 60k worth of hot dogs. if i recall correctly.
Obama spent $65,000 of American Taxpayer money on "Hot Dogs and Pizza"*** flown in from Chicago for his pedophile party at the White House.
***Little boys and girls.
You are not allowed to bring outside food into the White House for security reasons.
I agree with the policy, but didn't Trump bring in McDonalds for some sports thing? More of a curiousity question.
You're right about that. I found:

Trump served food. Obama served children.
