Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Soup Nazi was based on Al Yeganeh, the real-life owner of Soup Kitchen International in Manhattan, New York City. After the episode aired, Jerry Seinfeld and members of the cast and crew went to the restaurant for lunch. Yeganeh yelled at them and stated that the publicity had ruined his reputation. After Seinfeld offered an apology, Yeganeh yelled, "No soup for you!" and ejected them from his restaurant. Any references to "Seinfeld" are forbidden in any Soup Kitchen International.
- GoofsDespite the sign in the soup shop stating "No substitutions or phone orders", the phone rings and an employee appears to be writing an order down on a pad while George is complaining about not getting any bread with his soup order and again during his second visit after placing his order and commenting about getting bread. The phone rings again and another order appears to be taken while Elaine talks to the Soup Nazi about how he looks like Al Pacino.
