One of the perks of being a serious endurance athlete is that you can pork out with impunity. All of that training burns major calories, which is why you can do real damage to all-you-can-eat buffets.

The only problem with this little bit of hormonal autofocus is that it can cause you to…

One of America’s fastest-growing restaurant chains, Shake Shack is known for serving some of the best-quality fast-food burgers in the business. Dreamed up by restaurateur Danny Meyer, it started in 200 as a small hot dog cart in New York City’s Madison Square Park. A few years later, it was reimagined as a kiosk-style restaurant in the park—and it didn’t stop there. The interesting part? Shake Shack was never intended to be a chain, but due to the amount of interest it generated (and lines of people waiting to order), expansion was inevitable. Fast-forward 20 years, and it’s now a…
