A menu with no prices - in Red Bank? Yes! Pay what you can or pay it forward - that's how the JBJ (code for Jon Bon Jovi, OMG!) Soul Kitchen, will operate.

Last night, Gary's Wine & Marketplace celebrated twenty years of "tasting and giving," at the Park Avenue Club in Florham Park.
Over 400 well-dressed guests sampled approximately 800 wines! California cabs, like Caymus, Stag's Leap, Duckhorn, and my favorite of the evening David Arthur 2007 Napa Cab were being poured in plentitude.
Montclair continues to keep food bloggers on their toes. Here’s a quick look at what’s new on the food scene.
Montclair's newest restaurant, Fin Raw Bar & Kithen, 183 Glenridge Ave., opened it's doors Wednesday for dinner service.
Samba Montclair, which we told you about in August has new signage hanging above the location. According owner, Ilson Goncalves, he is working with the chef to develop the new evening menu. He anticipates completion and the first Samba diner service by next month.
Susan Hoffberg, namesake and chief executive honcho of SuzyQues, draws on the flavors and techniques of Texas, Midwest, and Carolina barbeque, then follows the three rules of barbeque (low, slow, and smoke) to create dishes that put West Orange NJ on any national BBQ tour map.
A recent afternoon visit resulted in big flavors, big portions, and big doggie bags. Don’t tell the doggie, the leftovers were for me. But let’s rewind to beginning : SuzyQue’s is located in the former Charlie
Really? Is Guy Fieri, Food Network's beloved host of Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives, a homophobic, breast-loving maniac?
Following the City Pages article, and Eater's very timely follow up, HFTK is asking: Is it true? Is Guy a chauvinistic homopbobe?
The Guy Fieri we've come to know and love has frequented such local diners as Tick-Tock, joints as Maui's Dog House, and dives such as White-Mana.
So how do you see it? Has Guy Fieri's Food Network celebrity chef ride come to an end? Or is this just a case of professional jealousy? Will Guy overcome the allegations? Let us know?
BOMB Wines, an artisan wine company founded by Montclair resident, Susan Weeden, and Soho resident Jim Carney, is launching their 2009 Oregon Pinot Noir in Montclair and NYC this week.
Susan and Jim have been friends for over twenty years. Jim became fascinated with Oregon Pinots during his time at the University of Oregon, and Susan fell in love with wines while living in London and travelling through Italy, Spain, Portugal, and France.
Through BOMB, Susan and Jim have combined their enophile passions, and have brought on renowned Willamette Valley winemaker, Tony Rynders to handle operations in the vineyards.
BOMB is an artsy wine. According to Jim, "Making a truly superb Pinot Noir was our first priority, but we also wanted to make a statement with our brand that was vibrant and different." Susan feels that "art and wine are a natural marriage." The BOMB label is an original design, painted by NYC artist Jason Borbay, known for his distinctive collages made up of New York Post headlines.
Only 500 cases of BOMB were made. I've had it; it's a very rich Pinot with nice, long finish.
Want to get bombed? Here's where you could get it: Bomb Pinot Noir is available at Angelbecks in Montclair for $49.99. They are also offering a case discount. You could also find the Bomb at Upstairs in Montclair for $75 a bottle. Fairchild's Market in Roseland, NJ will be carrying it at the beginning of November, and Bobby Vans Steakhouse on 54th st in NYC is selling it on their wine list.
