Jon Bon Jovi's charity restaurant opens in NJ

RED BANK, N.J. (AP) — In three decades as one of the world's biggest rock stars, Jon Bon Jovi has eaten in some of the world's best restaurants, savoring the best food the planet has to offer.

Yet there's no place he'd rather have dinner than The Soul Kitchen, a "pay-what-you-can" restaurant he and his wife Dorothea established in a former auto body shop near the Red Bank train station in central New Jersey.

The restaurant provides gourmet-quality meals to the hungry while enabling them to volunteer on community projects in return without the stigma of visiting a soup kitchen. Paying customers are encouraged to leave whatever they want in the envelopes on each table, where the menus never list a price. http://news.yahoo.com/jon-bon-jovis-charity-restaurant-opens-nj-172118923.html

I have a tear in my eye with this one. What a wonderful idea JBJ!
 
Interesting. Now to see if this business model works. Some people would not pay even if they had money because they are cheap. Hope the freeloaders don't ruin it for those that are actually in need.
