Valentine's Day isn't just for couples — or making a lot of money.

The Garden Spot Restaurant is offering a free dinner of chicken, salad, pasta, muffins, bread and dessert bars to singles Thursday night. Beer and wine will be sold.

It's from 6 to 9 p.m. and you need reservations. Call 323-3236.

 

I got to talk to owner Keith Barnes this morning. He's a single guy. Here's a summary of what he had to say.

Q. How did you come up with this idea?

A. I was in the shower on Monday morning thinking about what I was going to do for Valentine's Day. And I was wondering how to bring people to the restaurant on that day. And I came up with this.

Q. Why do it?

A."It's good for the heart in more ways than one."

Sounds like a good opportunity for a couple to have fun pretending to meet.

Who knows what people may try, robbwillis. But barring breaking news that I just can't predict, we'll plan to have a reporter there that night to check it out.

Send two reporters and have one claim to be from the LA Times.

Now, now, robbwillis. We're not going to impersonate anyone.
