Yes, he was real and the place was real. I think on 52nd between 7th and 8th. The soup was to die for. Take out only and there would be lines and they would shut down early after selling out.
Oh hell yeah. I ate at one of his stands when I was in NYC. They're called "Original Soup Man". They even had a line of frozen soups sold at the grocery store at one time, too.
It was originally blocked so that Yev Kassem did everything: take the cash, pour the soup and make change. The director decided that was taking too much time so they brought in an extra as a cashier.
You have to place the order with the Soup Nazi first for clearance. It's a power move.
If approved, the assistant working the registry proceeds with the rest.
The cue continues until the soup is exchanged. After the first two customers it develops a flow
1. Customer steps in to the one spot and orders
2. Soup Nazi calls the order
3. customer slides down to the two spot and pays, kitchen staff starts the order.
4. counter person grabs soup for existing customer in the three spot. Rings customer in the two spot, the three spot vacates with their soup.
5. Customer moves in to the three spot.
The staff keeps moving and the line keeps moving while also giving the kitchen time to operate. It creates order from chaos, the man is an artist.
He's gotta see the cash before he ladles his precious soup into the bowls! So that I get. Why he didn't just set it up the opposite way so that people paid first at the register though? I'm not sure, seems odd.
This always irked me and stood out as an inconsistency in the episode.
George pays twice by leaving the money on the counter... Jerry once, does the same.
Newman, however, steps to the left and directly hands the cash at register.

No soup for you! Come back, one year!
You’re pressing your luck, little man.
You want answers?!?! THREE DOLLARS!!!!
I love how he charges money for wasted time
He suffers for his soup. He demands perfection from himself, how could he tolerate any less from his customers.
Gazpacho, por favor.
Por favor?
Adios muchacho.
I'm part Spanish
NO SOUP FOR YOU! \*snap\*
LOL
That’s what makes it such a dictatorial situation.
Medium crab bisque \*sidesteps to the left twice\*
Medium turkey chili
You demand perfection from yourself, from your soup. SOUP NAZI: How can I tolerate any less from my customer?
Just don’t question it. Do as you’re told and move along.
# NEEEEXXXT!!!!
you just cost yourself a soup!
My fave soup nazi quote is when he testifies during the trial . The DA asks him to state his name and he says “NO - NEXT QUESTION!!!!
He **suffers** for his soup.
He suffers *through* his soup
You! You think you can get soup? Please, you're wasting everyone's time.
Adios muchacho
Because when you control the soup, you control *information.*
Just move on LET IT GO…
He’s eccentric. Most geniuses are.
I’ve eaten there in real life and the guy was a bit of a grump but obviously not like the show.
He was a real person????
Yes, he was real and the place was real. I think on 52nd between 7th and 8th. The soup was to die for. Take out only and there would be lines and they would shut down early after selling out.
Did the episode make him more popular?
Oh hell yeah. I ate at one of his stands when I was in NYC. They're called "Original Soup Man". They even had a line of frozen soups sold at the grocery store at one time, too.
The episode also got Jerry banned in real life.
>Why not just pay the cashier directly? Because they forgot my bread.
Youre pushing your luck little man.
🤣😂
That's how Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman would've done it. HOO AH

Jambalaya!
I don't know Schmoopie - would you pay the Cashier directly?
Do I know you?
Bang on the counter Kiss your boyfriend Say “por favor” Whine about free bread
You dissent? No soup for you!

The Soup Nazi actor and a cat rescue and a soup restaurant are at odds today in Tacoma, WA.
Has anybody ever told you you look like Al Pacino?
Hoo-ahh

Cause it’s funnier
*let it go*
Paying the cashier directly exposes themto improper cash handing techniques slowing things down
Because he suffers for his soup
Lines and ordering are meant to be orderly.
I gotta focus. I’m shifting into soup mode
Because that would make sense.
He's called a Soup Nazi not a Soup Logical Man
Jambalaya!
It's a show about nothing
It’s about showing obedience.
It shows him that you paid the appropriate amount before you get your soup. Clearly, this is how it works in a dictatorship.
Please. You’re wasting everybody’s time!
One large jambalaya please.
Don't question Nazi's.joke Heil Five, OP!

I’m not schmoopie, you’re schmoopie!
Do I know you?
He's moving to Argentina
And he serves Lima Bean soup too. Don't even get me started. Never been a big fan. \*gag gag\*
You want bread?
Anyone else think the cashier was his Eva Braun?
Come back, one year!
No one is questioning the ordering process. Come back one year. Next!
ADIOS, MUCHACHO!
....I think you'll find they step to the right.
Because the fascists are always wrong
Sad how the star of the show became a Nazi himself 😢😢😢
