Soup Nazi's Cream of Sweet Potato Soup

"After the "Soup Nazi" episode of Seinfeld aired, Jerry Seinfeld and several members of his production crew went over to Soup Kitchen International in New York City for lunch. When owner Al Yegenah recognized Jerry he flew into a profanity-filled rant about how the show had "ruined" his business and he demanded an apology. According to writer Spike Feresten, Jerry gave "the most insincere, sarcastic apology ever given," Yegenah yelled, "No soup for you!" and immediately ejected them from the premises. Knowing that to upset Al was to risk being yelled at and possibly evicted like Jerry, it was with great caution that I approached the order window to ask the Soup Nazi a few questions about the November 1995 Seinfeld episode that made him famous. Needless to say, the interview was very brief. TW: How do you feel about all the publicity that followed the Seinfeld episode? AY: I didn't need it. I was known well enough before that. I don't need it. TW: But it must have been good for business, right? AY: He [Seinfeld] used me. He used me. I didn't use him, he used me. TW: How many people do you serve in a day? AY: I cannot talk to you. If I talk I cannot work. TW: How many different soups do you serve? AY: (Getting very upset) I cannot talk! (Pointing to sign) Move to the left! Next!
