YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A couple from Ireland was road tripping through the US when they stopped at Liberty Restaurant in Alabama for something to eat. The couple was moved by the experience and nearly brought to tears by the southern hospitality they received.

These heartwarming moments are examples of an online trend called the "Great American Sleepover," where tourists, some who are here for the World Cup, are experiencing American novelties or acts of kindness from strangers. CNN reunited the couple with the owner of the restaurant.
