“No Soup For You!”

Yes, that was the sharp rebuke from the character known as “The Soup Nazi” on the iconic TV series “Seinfeld.”

Now that I am in New York, I have been checking out some of the iconic locations for film and TV, and of course, that meant checking out the place where “The Soup Nazi” ruled the kitchen.

It is one of the most famous episodes of all, and it made me want to follow “Newman” as he coveted his soup – here is his reaction to being served:

You see, this Chef is always on edge, so you must order exactly the right way and not waste this time, or “no soup for you!”

There is a hilarious moment when Elaine Benes sparks his fury, and here is the first time we meet this volatile Chef – as Jerry and George attempt to make a purchase…check out this clip:

As you saw, it did NOT go well for George, who didn’t get soup that day!

Why am I telling you all this? Because I visited the real “Soup Kitchen” that inspired the show! Let’s head to 55th and 8th Ave on New York’s west side…

As you can see, it’s a small kitchen, but they cook up 8-10 different soups every single day, so I had to get me some:

I went to The Soup Kitchen multiple times, and on one visit the legendary Jambalaya was being served so I bought some…it was packed with spicy andouille sausage, shrimp, rice and red and green bell pepper…it was delicious!

You can click on my story at “Bite! Eat! Repeat!” to see video of my Jambalaya taste test, plus reviews of the clam chowder and lobster bisque as well!

For those who love the show “Seinfeld” as much as I do, Jason Alexander was terrific as George Costanza – but did you know that Alexander is quite the singer and dancer as well?

Have you seen his musical ad for McDonalds?

We saw Alexander in a musical in Hollywood once and he is really good!

I have explored a number of unique restaurants in New York, including one that served a $29 hot dog:

Was Mischa’s hot dog worth that price?

See my review here:

Sadly, the restaurant recently closed, but if you are in the big apple and want a terrific hot dog, try these:

Gray’s Papaya sits at 72nd and Broadway, and serves up their “recession special”: two hot dogs and a papaya drinks for $6.50! Do they deliver the goods for such a great price?

Here is my review!

Along with Gray’s Papaya, there’s another iconic slice of food in New York:

A slice of New York pizza is a rite of passage in the big apple…click here to see the story of one of the city;’s most famous pizza joints!
