- Dateline NBC report on the real Soup Nazi from 1995. I happened to be standing in line the day NBC shot the video outside the place. I'm at about 1:53 - the blonde in the sunglasses & brown leather jacket w/yellow purse. I hadn't seen this since it originally aired, so I was glad to see it again, on VIMEO. Thanks to the original poster, Jonathan Moser.

I love how the Soup Nazi has a brother who’s a Muffin Nice Guy. He’s like a living skit.
my customers are trained , they know their rules . 😂😂
That's good
Role reversal here, the soup chef is always right.
Perfect example the customer IS NOT ALWAYS right. Tell him what you want and get out of the way nice and speedy and efficient.
I wasn't surprised when Soup Nazi got the attention of the Seinfeld writers...I was a frequent patron in the eighties and had admiration for the guy, after all he was serving a delicious product at a reasonable price while not letting NY'ers get away with expected entitlement. The comedy element apparent.
Was he called the Soup Nazi, before the Seinfeld episode?
@@v4v819 No, the show gave him that name.
He owes Jerry a piece of his soup empire!@@MielR
@@MielRI hear he was called the Soup Terrorist on account of his race. I think they changed it to Soup Nazi so as not to make it seem like they were picking on Iranians.
The Soup Nazi guy has a very typical Iranian temperment and behavior.@@Mondomeyer
The real life Soup Nazi, along with the real life George Costanza, at 3:19. lol
hahaha
In an old interview, Jason Alexander stated that he had actually gone to the soup restaurant many times previously for lunch....and that the Schlick with the bread really DID HAPPEN...(TWO DOLLARS)
Will Drucker thats great lol
That's Newman!
Nah, that’s gotta be Newman
He cares about the people at the end of the line as much as the people at the counter, a great salesman.
The fact this guy is real makes Seinfeld even better
Seinfeld is inspired by real life events and people...
👃
Hope he sued him for intellectual property
Is his brother that is in the muffin business selling "muffin tops?"
+newalm Top of the Muffin to You!
+chuckobscure Top of the muffin TO YOUUUU!!
+newalm LOL. I remember that episode.
newalm q
Thats hysterical
You see, this is why chefs work in the back of the kitchen, and we hire pretty and/or sweet girls to handle the customers
Those pretty sweet girls aren't even good at their jobs.
Younger women arent as sweet or wholesome as you think especially in relationships
@@neonfroot huh?
@@neonfroot what are you talking about Willis.??
@@humbertoflores2545
Female youth is often used as the poster child of beautitude/virtuosity.
While older women are often portrayed as potential chaos/villainy.
From my personal experience though, older women are usually sweet and empathetic, while younger women are shallow and infantile.
Exceptions are if said younger women are nerds or tomboys.
@@neonfroot I smell an incel neckbeard.
This proves that product quality outweighs fake obsequiousness. This guy is the Gordon Ramsay of soup!
i bet gordon can make better sou than him
Fernando Valles If you can´t make soup get out of the kitchen. It is boiling water and putting cut up things in it.
Stephen Brookes lol what are you yalking about
Fernando Valles Define soup!
Every cooked food is heating something and putting things into it. Congrats, with that knowledge you can open a restaurant in the center of Paris, charge 500€ for a meal and make millions. What are you waiting for?
So the muffin man is actually BROTHERS with the soup nazi. I can sleep now knowing this fact
When I was 13 I went to the real soup nazi in New York. He asked me "Can I help you?" I said "One large potato and corn" and gave him the money. He rang me up and gave me my soup, and it came with bread and fruit. It was a pretty run of the mill experience. He was a normal guy.
That's because you followed the rules.
That sucks, dude. I'm sorry.
Because you were trained
If anyone really does see the soup Nazi, before they place their order, they should say, "Oooohwa, Ooooohwa!"
I think I would go in there to piss him off see if he would literally take the soup away from me
ANY chef / stall owner who keeps the line MOVING is a hero in my book. How OFTEN do we get stuck behind the dithering um-er-ah brigade who just WON'T hurry it up & make a decision, calmly oblivious to those lined up behind them.
Amen brother
I had this man's soup and while it was very good, I would not say the best. I can't blame the man for wanting no dilly-dallying in his line as it is so long. he is a reasonable man.
I've been to other places that make it clear to know what you want and have your money ready, it's kinda the right way to order
The soup is average actually reheated stuff, people go for the meme. Like a tourist attraction.
NO SOUP FOR YOU
did you have to sit down right after?
if the new Yorker take that shit attitude and line up every day, the soup must be good!!
as for you! NO SOUP FOR YOU,COME BACK IN TEN YEARS! lol
He probably was angry. Running a business in new York city is very difficult and expensive.
I'll have to try not to hold it against him if I ever meet him.
He is actually being nice to the customers waiting in line by being rude to the people who don’t follow rules...
Rude is normal in New York.
That's exactly what I was thinking
sc0pl355 Maybe so, but beats the hell out of the slow thinking, slow moving people you find in other cities. Perfect example, Portland Oregon . Portland opens late, closes early, and gets away with mediocre sales and service all day long. Old saying when you're asked where your off to. "What's the difference, once you leave New York you ain't going nowhere".
New Yorkers are NOT rude! We're just in a hurry! Everyone is trying to get somewhere, so you better not slow down because you're getting in someone's way.
Simon that's just hipster culture. Hipsters are taking over the inner cities pretty much and no matter what part of the country they come from, they're all the same.
Yeah such a disgusting run down third world shithole.
Well , when he's being rude he's being rude so he can quickly serve the next person who joins the end of the line. Gotta respect that.
"You want a banana? THREE DOLLAR!"
"Imagine waiting one hour for soup" Exactly. The rules were there for a reason.
I got free bread, an apple, and a Lindt chocolate with my soup.
liar
@@tesoro7788 As long as you didn't get it *IN* your soup, you're fine.
"Today it was a good day..." - Ice Cube
To be fair he does make excellent soup, and since he doesn't work there anymore the staff are not as harsh with customers. Not quite the original experience but still excellent soup.
That sucks
Where did he go?
Ever notice every New Yorker looks like someone else?
So there is a real Soup Nazi. Take good care of yourself Larry.
He was nice to me....gave me bread and I didn't ask for it.....he served and rang up my order....Nice Guy. unbeliveable Soup!
he suffers for his soup
2:29 "No, I'm not rude. I don't believe that."
My wife and I went to a shop called 'The Grumpy Pie Shop'. She came out fuming about how rude the shop assistant was. I said look at the sign, you paid extra for that service.
Waiting on line like that for soup? Nah, I'm good.
What would be cool is if Larry Thomas went in character to order soup from the real Soup Nazi.
Funniest thing, I'd pay him a sum of money
That soup was genuinely as good as its reputation.
I remember passing by his shop and the line was ALWAYS around the corner.
This is what steams me. People give credit to this guy for being the inspiration for the Soup Nazi, but at 3:20 no one ever gives this man the credit for being the template for Franklin Delano Romanowski.
i love that the narrator says gespatcho instead of gestapo
I think it is a play on words. The narrator obviously is saying Gazpacho, which is a soup of raw vegetables, but is clearly meaning Gestapo.
Jonas P I know that bud
no you didn't
When you have something in demand you gotta keep the line moving, alot of hotdog places are like that in Jersey. Hell, go to Pat's Steaks in Philly
I was thinking the same thing. “Whiz, with” pay, and get out of the way.
That guy at 3:24 looks like George Castanza.
Your name looks like Newman
+Big Boss Giddy-up!
one year later:
I can finnaly get soup again!!!

dateline tackling the real issues
I totally see the owner's point. There is a bakery near me where every other customer is the ass clown who painstakingly takes five minutes to choose his dozen donuts. It's like he's choosing the material for a new suit. Shit, man. Get your dozen donuts and get the hell out of the bakery.
A common occurrence in heavily gentrified neighborhoods
Your describing a tipycal canadian costumer, they take a long time to make an simple order
It's good to see that all of those patrons that got berated are easygoing about it. If this was done today, half of those people in line would be taking it to Yelp.
there used to be a fish spot in harlem where they were assholes as well, it was a tiny shop, line out the door and down the block. you coulnt take your time to look at the menu and the guys were really rude if you asked questions... Best fish sandwich you ever had. well worth the sometimes 40 minute wait! they have a restaurant now but I think the matriarch passed away.... just not the same. I think she used sassafras, but thats just my tastebuds trying to figure the recipe. damn the 90s!!!
Hahaha, are we gonna like this isn't a normal thing in New York. I used to go to this Chinese place a block from my old apartment and the guy would throw rice at me if I was late to pick up my take out
I miss curt service from when I lived in NY. I live in the south now and people tell their life story to cashiers and after the receipt is in the bag they continue talking till their story is done, no regard for the people in line behind them.
Surely there's a middle line to be found between being ignored and being barked at.
FYI. There was an owner of a Chinese restaurant in SF, that was loud and rude. But it was his way. You don’t gettositalone, he’ll put you with other people, and change your order.
He’d try and try to embrace me, nah, he even made me stand up and order across the tiny dining room. It was upstairs, and you’d have to walk through the kitchen.
He made me cry 1 time, I was pregnant and said I could only eat 🍲 soup. I still walk past it, but he’s passed away, sad.
I’m actually really happy this exists
Love the backstory summary you give
That's the thing. People back in NYC, Phila etc., will keep coming back as long as you get good food. Out here in AZ, people get all butt hurt because they werent treated right. Out here people go nuts over food that you can pretty much make at home. As long as they have there ass kissed and the place looks nice, I guess it doesn't really matter. Cant wait to get out of here. God bless this man!
He wants to make sure his customers get in and out NYC is busy people don't always have forever to wait in line especially when its the lunch rush, meanwhile Karen thinks about what she wants for 15mins holding up the line. I can respect that if you don't know what you want step out of line and wait your turn
I actually get annoyed at people who waits until the cashier tells them the price before taking out their money and/or credit card. You know it'll cost money, why freaking wait until the very end?
He suffers for his soup.
Anyone who's worked in retail or hospitality WISHES they could verbally smack down every Karen and Richard like this guy does. It's his business and he doesn't take crap from anyone. If all businesses ran this way there would be far less Karen's in this world
" I think he's temperamental because he is an artist. I think he's a perfectionist. I'm sure Picasso wasn't nice 24 hours a day, and why should he be?"
He isn't the soup Nazi. He is the soup capitalist. If he was friendly, people would want to chat and ask too many questions. In NY, nobody will wait an hour, even for the best soup. The attitude keeps the line moving and the sensitive people away.
2:04 is that Jonah Hill
I thought the same for a second! It looks like him and even his voice seems similar, but as far as I know he was 12 around that time.
It's really nice seeing the real Soup Nazi
Imagine this guy saying "NO SOUP FOR YOU! COME BACK, 1 YEAR!" like the Seinfeld Soup Nazi.
While watching this, all I could say was, "Who knew?"
+Nicksolo85 What's funny is...a few years after the episode aired, Jerry Seinfeld and some of the cast and crew of the show went there to eat. Al (the Real Soup Nazi) yelled at Seinfeld, claiming the episode ruined his life and/or image. Seinfeld gave him a sarcastic apology, and Al responded with "NO SOUP FOR YOU!" throwing Jerry and the others out of his restaurant/store.
+TAFARockWarrior97 LOL! OMG THEY SCREWED UP!
+TAFARockWarrior97 John O'Hurley (who played Peterman on Seinfeld) said once that he attempted to get soup, and Al refused to serve him because he's associated with Seinfeld. O'Hurley pointed out that this didn't make sense as O'Hurley didn't appear in the Soup Nazi episode, and the only way he could have known he was on the show was if he WATCHES Seinfeld.
Soup Nazi's brother: I like you. EXTRA MUFFIN FOR YOU!
He sells soup and bananas? lol wtf what else does he sell rack of lamb?
lol
NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!!
Shwarma.
No soup for you!!!
comparing him to picasso ain’t the same thing. he’s in the food service & works with public, picasso is a painter that can paint in privacy.
My girl just got me a "No soup for you!" soup cup and I'm so excited to use it haha
I have a "No Soup For You!" magnet on my 'fridge. ;-)
Proof, new yorkers are as silly as we all thought. Epic footage from back in the day.
The real George Costanza at the 3:20 mark.
lol
Is he still alive I mean is the shop still there?
Closed for a while, than reopened after he franchised and rebranded. Looks a little different inside and there is a soda machine now.
Kandi Klover
What are the cross streets?
Next time I am flying through NYC I want to hit it up. The soup nazi’s soup is on my bucket list (only thing from NYC on the list, lol)... I do want to go to the tear drop across the river in Jersey...
Real life George Constanza being interviewed? Life's got to be a simulation 😅
This guy was a fool for thinking this episode hurt his business and getting mad at Jerry Seinfeld about it. Embrace it dude.
I heard he eventually did many years later.
he's part of the SS Soup Slingers
I just went there its delicious I ordered jambalayaaa
My nickname is "Soup Nazi" and I love this scene!
I could not believe their's an actually real life soup Nazi. I did not know that the Soup Nazi episode of Seinfeld was real. Wow and his brother has a muffin business. His brother is so like nice and a Gentlemen. He is kinda like rude the Soup Nazi.
I guess I kinda could understand the Soup Nazi he's just trying to run his business professionally. Is it really true that his soups are really that good. That you are willing enough to wait in a long line and put up with his attitude. Wow I guess his soups are really that good.
Why do people keep coming back? "Listen he might call me an ass hole and bang my banana on the counter but at least he isn't charging 20$ for a bowl of soup..." Restaurants in NY will charge you 30$ for avocado toast.
So that last dude at the end that's like George Costanza for real life LOL
Tried to order some offline a few days ago and it’s NOWHERE. Out of stock across the board. Anybody know where I can score some of this bomb soup aside from driving up there?
Id buy it, But have to see a menu first because Ive got no clue what kind of soups are sold there.
Amazing hilarious entertaining. Seinfeld was a legend. The show always makes me laugh and after all these years it still makes me crack. The Soup Nazi should have been grateful not mad. Without Seinfeld we will never have heard about him.
Promo! You must believe in wrestling being real too if you think him leaning into his character the show promoted meant legitimate beef against Seinfeld!!
3:19 I didn't realize this was an episode of Seinfeld until George appeared...
Was that the real life George at 3:20 saying that Picasso wasn't nice?
Fun fact: he taught TSA how to keep lines in order when going through the security scanner.
God I miss THAT New York... the food in NYC is SOOOO Good its actually funny.. the pizza. The Soup. There was this place on 5th Ave that had the best Pastrami sandwiches 🥪😋👌. That NYC is long dead.
Pizza in NY is just wrong. Now pizza in Chicago -- that's real pizza.
@@ardalla535 Boo :)
The brother -- does he sell only tops or the whole muffin?
His level of friendliness is about average for New York.
Real title: When reporters don’t have anything to report Comp #7
Back in the seventys a deli on east Grand Ave. In Chicago called "Jerry's" treated people the Same.
The menu was in the window.
If you didn't know exactly what you wanted they'd cuss you out with every nasty word know to sailors.
@@jaysonb.6669 I remember a pizza restaurant in Chicago that served to most God awful pizza.
Yet they seemed to stay in business in a city that prides itself on pizza better than New York.
The guy at 1:36 looks like Mark Zuckerberg.
He sounds like a Middle Eastern Mike Tyson.
All Iranians sound like that
Unbelievable! I love it!
You can now buy his soup online thru amazon, unfortunately, without the attitude that made him famous. :)
+Lance Anderson could you give me the Link ? :D
Whatever happened to stone Phillips?
Can anybody share the address? Or is it closed?
The original was on W55th, but it's been closed a long time now.
But everyone still in line!
This is so awesome
In Dallas there was a hamburger place called Goff's. Harvey Goff was a burger Nazi. But the burgers were great!
i wonder if he takes credit cards or is it just cash only and if he does what credit cards does he take
I like this...he actually has rules in his restaurant to keep things moving, and punishes anyone who violates the rules with their selfishness and entitlement.
His attitude reminds me of a mom: “Eat my food and fuck your feelings”
What will happen if you start banging the glass counter with your hands?
+newalm Then NO SOUP FOR YOU!
* ONE YEAR!
wow, how did I miss this all these years, wonder if the restaurant survived covid??
Even the mob doesn't dare extort the Soup Nazi...
He's the godfather of Hell's Kitchen.
Imagine expecting customers to be brief and no-nonsense in such an entitled and self-centered society.
the original soup man store is there. however he is not. think he retired from the business
He looks like a delivery driver at my workplace who also can be "Not so nice..." unless you're Kramer, ahem, me.
