Everywhere You Can Get Free & Cheap Food Today for Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is a day to express your deep feelings of love. In particular, it's a day to express your love of food. If you don't believe me, you should see all the great food available today whether you're celebrating with a partner, flying solo, or simply pretending like it's not happening at all.

This isn't about $100 prix fixe meals and a bottle of wine. This is about getting a pizza, plopping down on the couch, and watching Community reruns. Loads of restaurants understand that impulse and are offering discounts and free food to make sure you're honoring the thing you've loved most in this life: Food. You'll find offers from Hooters, Burger King, 7-Eleven, Chipotle, and many other restaurants celebrating Cupid's birthday.
