He went in the middle of the night, long after the last employee had locked up the Chili's Grill and Bar. He'd steer his car around the back, check to make sure no one was around and then quietly approach the dumpster.

Kessler was on a mission to understand a problem that has vexed him since childhood: why he can't resist certain foods.
