The burrito chain will have a buy one entree get one entree free promotion tomorrow. The catch - you have to kiss another customer to get the deal.

Customers at the Qdoba restaurant in Medford can get free food on Tuesday, if they don't mind a little PDA. The nationwide chain is bringing back a Valentine's Day promotion that, according to spokeswoman Ashley Cohen, tens of thousands of customers took advantage of in 2011. Anyone who buys an entree can get another for free—once they kiss a fellow customer at the cash register. It doesn't matter (to Qdoba) who it is. No coupon is necessary. The Qdoba in Medford is located next to Starbucks in Station Landing.
