Tim Harris's story has attracted a huge amount of media interest. Picture: Tim's Place

TIM Harris owns the "world's friendliest restaurant", and is probably the world's happiest person.

His restaurant specialises in good food, good service, and hugs.
"I am a lean, mean, hugging machine," he boasts with a broad smile across his face.
"The hugs are way more important than the food. I mean food is just food."

Tim really is a special person.
He starts every day by doing a "dance of magic" because he's so excited about coming to work. He personally greets every customer who walks through the door.
It's impossible to watch him talk about his life, and watch him go to work, and not find yourself smiling.
