JBJ Soul Kitchen -- September Launch
New Jersey Newsroom has this article about the JBJ Soul Kitchen.
You can read the whole article here.At the April Planning Board Meeting in Red Bank, the JBJ Soul Kitchen, founded by Dorothea Bongiovi (wife of pop-rock musician Jon Bon Jovi) received instant, unanimous approval for its plans to open a permanent community-based eatery, which will provide a meal for anybody who walks in – whether he/she can pay or not. The plans had been filed by her mega-star philanthropist husband's non-profit organization, the JBJ Soul Foundation.
With the Planning Board's approval, construction will start shortly on the space to add a kitchen, dining room, appropriate lighting and exterior signage. Plans also call for improvements to the sidewalk and driveway, which will be redone in gray stone, not pavement according to attorney Michael Monroe.
According to Dorothea Bongiovi, Soul Kitchen should be up and operating some time in September.
Her vision is to see the eatery as a job training center and a community center. In the front, there will be an organic garden providing food for the restaurant. And her vision isn't just local – it's global. Bongiovi want to build the Red Bank kitchen as a template for community activists to open JBJ Soul Kitchens around the country and abroad. The restaurant is based on community restaurants that have appeared in Salt Lake City, Utah and Denver, Colorado.
