I’ve always been a fan of Jon Bon Jovi – his music, his concert booty shaking and most importantly, his philanthropy!
Just when I think he can’t outdo himself, Jon surprises me and one ups everything and everyone else. This time, the singer has opened a restaurant featuring healthy foods and which allows customers to “pay what you can.” Jon explained, “When I learned that one in six people in this country goes to bed hungry, I thought this was the next phase of the (Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation’s) work.”
To eat there, one can pay whatever amount they can afford or, better yet, volunteer for the restaurant or the local food bank.
But don’t go to the Soul Kitchen expecting to see The Man doing any of the cooking, though you may just catch Jon doing something behind the scenes. “I’m an expert at washing dishes,” Jon explains, “but I can cook less than zero … But picture the coolest brasserie in your hometown, that’s what this is. It’s the hottest-looking restaurant in this town.”
