RED BANK – As they say at JBJ Soul Kitchen in Red Bank, “Hope is Delicious.” On Saturday, Oct. 10 they set out to prove it with the annual JBJ Soul Kitchen Kickoff Cook-Off to celebrate their anniversary. Local first responders presented their prize pots of chili for donors paying $10 (adults) and $5 (children) to sam- ple. Votes were cast for their favorite. The winners were the Union Beach Fire Department, followed by the Toms River PD, MONOC EMS and the Atlantic Highlands First Aid Dept. Jon Bon Jovi himself congratulated the chili chefs.
