Yev Kasem (a.k.a. the '''Soup Nazi''') was a Fictional Character portrayed by Larry Thomas in the Sitcom '' Seinfeld ''. The Soup Nazi was a stone-faced Immigrant Chef with a thick Stalin -esque Moustache , who was well-known throughout the city for his delicious Soup s. He demanded that all customers in his restaurant follow his meticulous (and seemingly arbitrary) soup-ordering instructions to the letter, lest they be refused service by his insistent avowal, "No soup for you!" Some of the soups that he served were cold Cucumber , Corn and Clam Chowder s, Jambalaya , Turkey Chili , Mulligatawny , Crab and Lobster Bisque s. He encountered his Waterloo when Elaine discovered his secret Recipe s. He made a brief cameo in the ''Seinfeld'' Series Finale , where he was called Yev Kasem. His character was based on an actual New York City soup vendor named Al Yeganeh, who runs Soup Kitchen International in Midtown Manhattan . The store is open only part of the year. In the summer, his customers are greeted with a sign indicating he has gone to " Argentina for the winter". According to an AP Article published April 29 , 2005 , Yeganeh plans to open a chain of soup stores under the name "The Original Soup Man" across the country. The first franchise was slated to open in Ridgewood, N.J. in the summer of 2005. His company, Soup Kitchen International, plans to open 1000 outlets nationwide. Another franchise of the Original Soup Man recently opened in Princeton, NJ. USED AS A DEFINITION "Soup Nazi" has been used to describe people with the same attitude as the famous chef. In other words a person and/or people (particularly those with a degree of power over oneself, e.g. a boss or supervisor) who make arbitrary decisions or rulings. TRIVIA
