'Free' gourmet meals at JBJ Soul Kitchen
Legendary rocker Jon Bon Jovi has opened his own restaurant, JBJ Soul Kitchen in Red Bank, New Jersey and unlike normal restaurants, patrons are not expected to pay for their gourmet meal but can make a donation instead, or volunteer the equivalent amount of time to a charitable cause.
Bon Jovi says that with one-in-five households living at, or below, the poverty line and when one-in-six Americans is food insecure, this is a restaurant "whose time has come."
JBJ Soul Kitchen serves meals to people who have earned them through volunteering at the restaurant or at other local charities, such as the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation. Bon Jovi says the restaurant has been built "by the community for the community".
