'SoupMan' to sell products in grocery stores across the Nation!!

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - The soup chef famous for inspiring a "Seinfeld" episode character isn't saying "No soup for you" anymore. In fact, he's trying to bring his creations into homes across America.

Soup Kitchen International Inc. and the "Original SoupMan," Al Yeganeh, announced Friday that a retail line of "heat-n-serve" soups will be available next month in select grocery stores. National roll-out is slated for September. The 15-ounce packages of turkey chili, jambalaya and seafood bisque, among other offerings, will cost $3.50-$5.50.

Soup Kitchen International said Yeganeh will supervise the production of the soup that caused people to wait in line outside his mid-Manhattan storefront.

It was those lines, and the purported attitude of the eatery owner, that resulted in the famous "The Soup Nazi" episode in the seventh season of the comedy series. The owner was portrayed by actor Larry Thomas.

Funny.

whitewash the name from "SoupNazi" to SoupMan..."

soooo funny. Hope he makes money with it.

Your post got me to thinking about a carry-out only hamburger joint that I used to frequent when I went to college in Birmingham, AL. It was called Milos and located on 10th Ave North. If you didn't call ahead sometimes you would wait up to an hour for an order. If someone got mad about waiting so long, Milo would hang out the window and yell at them
"don't want to wait...go to McDonalds" and slam the window shut. Milo retired in the mid-eighties...I've not had a hamburger as good since.

Wonder if any AL Du'ers remember the place?

5.50 for a bowl of soup?
