Diner in small Manitoba town attracts international crowd with viral video

A small diner called Somerset Food Bar & Lounge in Somerset, Manitoba, has attracted international attention after a social media challenge aimed at bringing visitors from 60 different towns within 60 days went viral. The initiative has drawn travelers from various locations, including some from Europe such as Amsterdam, France, and Belgium, despite Somerset's small population of 420. The diner's owner, Wes Friesen, expressed surprise at the influx of visitors, noting that people from across the globe are now coming to the establishment rather than the other way around. This unexpected growth has brought increased excitement among the staff, who are unsure of whom they might encounter next.
