Soup Kitchen International
Soup Kitchen International is a well-known soup restaurant in New York City, New York, run by Al Yeganeh. The restaurant was the inspiration for the "Soup Nazi" in Seinfeld.
The "rules" to buy soup at his restaurant are:
- Pick the soup you want.
- Have your money ready.
- Move to the extreme left after ordering.
Supposedly, if these rules aren't followed, you are denied service, and sent to the back of the line.
He invites the media to contact him for interview, but states that they must not mention the "N" word, not talk about his personal life, not have follow-up questions, and interviews will only be completed via e-mail, at his time preferences.
Soup Kitchen International Inc. and the "Original SoupMan," Al Yeganeh, announced on April 22, 2005 that a retail line of "heat-n-serve" soups would be available in May at select grocery stores, with national roll-out slated for September. The 15-ounce packages of turkey chili, jambalaya and seafood bisque, among other offerings, will cost $3.50-$5.50.
The restaurant is located at 259 W. 55th St. in New York, New York, but has been closed for several months during the franchise process.
