   Warren Buffett would have celebrated Thanksgiving with a Big Mac, fries,   
   and a milkshake in 2008 if US officials hadn't bailed out the banks, he   
   joked in a CNBC interview in 2010.   
      
   "If the government hadn't acted, I would be eating Thanksgiving dinner   
   at McDonald's," he quipped.   
      
   The billionaire investor and Berkshire Hathaway CEO was underscoring the   
   enormous threat posed by the financial crisis in 2008. However, few   
   would put it past him to follow through on a fast-food Thanksgiving.   
      
   Buffett typically grabs breakfast at McDonald's during his morning drive   
   to the office, opting for a pricier bacon-egg-and-cheese biscuit if he's   
   feeling especially wealthy. He also carries one of the restaurant   
   chain's gold cards, which entitles him to free McDonald's meals for life   
   in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska.   
      
   "That's why the Buffett family has Christmas dinner at McDonald's," he   
   joked in a CNBC interview in 2007.   
      
   Buffett isn't shy about showing his love for McDonald's or his   
   thriftiness — even when he's spending time with Bill Gates, one of the   
   wealthiest men in the world.   
      
   "Remember the laugh we had when we traveled together to Hong Kong and   
   decided to get lunch at McDonald's?" Gates wrote in a public letter to   
   Buffett in 2017. "You offered to pay, dug into your pocket, and pulled   
   out…coupons!"   
      
   Giving thanks to the government   
   Buffett joked about celebrating Thanksgiving at McDonald's shortly after   
   he praised the US government's financial-crisis interventions in a New   
   York Times op-ed article.   
      
   "The challenge was huge, and many people thought you were not up to it,"   
   he wrote. "Well, Uncle Sam, you delivered."   
      
   The investor signed the letter "Your grateful nephew, Warren."   
      
   There are few people more qualified than Buffett to judge the federal   
   response in that period. When credit markets seized up, Berkshire   
   invested billions of dollars in blue-chip companies including Goldman   
   Sachs and General Electric, and it loaned much-needed cash to ailing   
   businesses such as Harley-Davidson.   
      
   The investor also called Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson in October 2008   
   to suggest the US government invest directly in the banks instead of   
   only buying their assets, inspiring a program that might have staved off   
   an even deeper recession.
