TIM Harris owns the "world's friendliest restaurant", and is probably the world's happiest person.
He runs Tim's Place, a restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Tim was born with Down Syndrome but always had a dream to make people happier.
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.

He told his parents when he was 14 that his dream was to open a restaurant and to make people feel better.
He's a shining example of what anyone can achieve, and a reminder that you need only the simple things in life in order to be a happy.
Tim has given out more than 30,000 hugs. It's on the menu. Picture: AOL Source: news.com.au
"We are the world's friendliest restaurant," he said.
"I do not let my disability crush my dreams.
"People with disabilities can do anything they set their minds to. They're special. We are a gift to the world."
The "hug counter" in Tim's Place is around 32,475. That's some gift.
