Highlights
- Rocker Jon Bon Jovi is opening a new charity restaurant, Soul Kitchen, to help fight hunger in New Jersey.
- The diner features a pay-what-you-can system, which allows patrons to offer up the amount of cash they feel is appropriate to cover their meal, reported E! online.
- Customers who don't have money to contribute can instead lend a hand with cleaning duties.
- Bon Jovi's Soul Foundation will subsidise the location to keep the property afloat.
- The musician will be heavily involved in the project, but behind the scenes - because he simply "can't cook".
- "Last Friday, I was at the White House, serving on the Council for Community Solutions, got on a train, changed in the bathroom and got here in time to wash dishes Friday night. I'm the dishwasher, for real. I can't cook a lick," he said.
