In Wednesday’s Food section, we’ll have a list of Chattanooga-area restaurants planning special menus for you and your significant other.

* A heart that’s OK to break.
The cooks at Charlie’s BBQ & Bakery may be better known for their barbecue specialties, but Valentine’s Day will give them a chance to showcase their confectionery skills with a collection of hollow, heart-shaped boxes made of white, milk or dark chocolate.
Charlie’s has several options available to accompany or fill the chocolate heart, including assorted candies, chocolate-dipped strawberries and real or faux roses. Plus, the hearts can be personalized with love notes and any special small item you’d like to hide inside the mold.
