OK, so maybe it's not a four-star restaurant, but if you want to impress your sweetie, how about scoring him or her a free lunch at Qdoba? The chain of Mexican restaurants (with a location in the Kroger complex on East Maple Road) is bringing back a Valentine's Day promotion today that, according to spokeswoman Ashley Cohen, tens of thousands of customers took advantage of in 2011. If you buy an entree, you can get another for free — all you have to do is kiss a fellow customer (preferably your valentine and not a stranger) at the cash register. No coupon is necessary.
