There was a fierce competition among a dozen first responder teams — and Bon Jovi made it a point of sampling each team's chili while mingling with the crowd, Toms River Online reports.
The event marked JBJ Soul Kitchen’s 7th Annual Chili Cook-Off on Hooper Avenue in Toms River.
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 for American bites at Jon Bon Jovi's community restaurant chain.
The Hooper Avenue location provides free meals to customers in need helps create affordable housing through donations.
A photo of Bon Jovi washing dishes appeared on Instagram, prompting one woman to write: "I lived to see Bon Jovi washing the dishes! You should come to my home and help me with some dishes here."
