JBJ Soul Kitchen isn't your typical restaurant. Founded by rock legend Jon Bon Jovi, this innovative eatery serves healthy variations of classic soul food while operating on a unique payment model that helps feed the community.

How JBJ Soul Kitchen Works

The restaurant features two groundbreaking payment options:

Volunteer-for-meals program: Diners can earn free meals by doing community service
Pay-what-you-can model: Those who can afford to pay are encouraged to leave a suggested donation

"We're breaking down stigmas about volunteering and making a difference," explains Bon Jovi about the restaurant's mission.
