Last year, the rock star surprised fans by visiting each table at the cookoff. There was fierce competition among a dozen teams.

The 8th annual fundraising event to support JBJ Soul Kitchen begins at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 7 at 1769 Hooper Ave.

A Sayreville native, the rocker founded his Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation in 2006 to help combat hunger, poverty and homelessness. Diners pay a donation at Jon Bon Jovi's community restaurant chain.

The Hooper Avenue location provides free meals to customers in need and helps create affordable housing through donations.
