Mark Zuckerberg’s Love For McDonald’s Remains Strong, Even In Japan

It’s no secret that Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg loves McDonald’s. On Tuesday, the Facebook co-founder shared some photos of his quick bite at a McDonald’s outlet in Tokyo, Japan, where he heaped praises on the food and the neat presentation, claiming that these outlets deserve a Michelin star, one of the highest culinary recognitions in the world. 

Zuckerberg, who is currently on a tour of Asia with wife Priscilla Chan (who celebrated her 39th birthday on February 24), shared this on his personal Facebook page:

Zuck’s Love For McDonald’s

Back in 2013, Zuckerberg disclosed his go-to order at a McDonald’s outlet. Responding to a casual query from McDonald’s on Threads, Zuckerberg shared his indulgent menu, including a variety of items ranging from nuggets to desserts. The billionaire entrepreneur’s order isn’t your typical burger-and-fries combo. It consists of “20 nuggets, a quarter pounder, large fries, Oreo McFlurry, apple pie, and maybe some side cheeseburgers for later,” as he put it in his response to McDonald’s post.

This diverse selection isn’t just about satisfying hunger but also meets Zuckerberg’s energy requirements, estimated at a hefty “4,000 calories” to fuel his active lifestyle, which includes being a Jiu Jitsu practicioner.

While his latest McDonald’s order seems ‘normal’ (judging by his post) when compared to the above, it does appear that Zuckerberg’s love for McDonald’s isn’t fading out anytime soon. 

What Is Zuckerberg Up To In Asia?

Zuckerberg is currently on a brief tour across Asia, with his latest stop in Japan involving immersive cultural experiences and business engagements. Documenting his journey, Zuckerberg shared on social media a glimpse of his hands-on experience in the art of crafting katanas, guided by a skilled sword master. The video captures moments of Zuckerberg engaging in the intricate process of hammering molten metal and demonstrating sword techniques.

Prior to his cultural immersion, Zuckerberg, accompanied by his family, enjoyed skiing in Japan. However, his itinerary also includes professional commitments, with scheduled meetings with Facebook developers in Tokyo over the course of Monday and Tuesday, as reported by Bloomberg News.

Further reports suggest that Zuckerberg’s Asian tour extends beyond Japan, with plans to visit South Korea. There, he is anticipated to hold meetings with President Yoon Suk Yeol and top executives from tech giants Samsung and LG, as indicated by South Korean media sources.

Following his engagements in Seoul, Zuckerberg is expected to journey to Jamnagar, Gujarat, to partake in the pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani, the youngest son of billionaire Mukesh Ambani. The three-day celebrations, commencing on March 1, are set to attract a host of luminaries from the realms of business, technology, and entertainment.
