Jon Bon Jovi's Soul Kitchen restaurant will now address the issue of food insecurity at Rutgers University in Newark, New Jersey head-on with the opening of an outpost location. The eatery will serve both students and faculty at the institute of higher learning.
As reported by CBS News, the Roll and Roll Hall of Famer and his wife, Dorothea Hurley, stood side-by-side at the grand opening of the restaurant. The new location will model itself after the couple's other eateries in Red Bank and Toms River, New Jersey where diners pay it forward with a set price for a meal or volunteer at the facility if they cannot afford to pay for their food.
The twist to their concept is that the diners seated next to one another do not know who in their community may or may not have paid, allowing everyone to enjoy their meal without shame or worry that others might know of their situation.
