History professor Bryant Simon traveled to more than 400 Starbucks coffee shops during a year of research for his forthcoming book, Consuming Starbucks.
His book examines the Starbucks coffee culture, a phenomenon so strong that 10 years ago, it led a man by the name of Winter to begin an attempt to visit every Starbucks in the world.
