Everytime I eat jambalaya I say "JAM BA LYE A!" Just like Newman does.

Go to Albertsons and buy some "Soup Man" brand soup. That's the guy (Al Yeganeh) who the Soup Nazi is based on, he had the hottest soup place in NYC.

Newman could make gumbo sound as funny as jambalaya.

Yeganeh was born in Iran [2], and had lived in Khorramshahr, Iran, prior to moving to the US. Ali "Al" Yeganeh was the inspiration for the "Soup Nazi" character in the similarly-named episode of the NBC television sitcom Seinfeld. Yeganeh has stated on numerous occasions that he is very offended by the "Soup Nazi" moniker [3]. It is in this episode where Yeganeh is fictionally portrayed as the tyrannical purveyor of his soups, making all of his customers follow a strict set of rules if they wish to successfully procure a bowl of one of his coveted liquid masterpieces. The real Yeganeh has stated that his rules are simply an attempt to keep the line moving and serve the largest number of people.
In order to provide the most efficient service to his customers, Yeganeh established a set of "rules" for ordering his soup:
Pick the soup you want.
Have your money ready.
Move to the extreme left after ordering. [4]
Another added rule, created after the Seinfeld episode, states not to mention "The N Word."
Supposedly, if these rules are not followed, the offending patron is denied service and usually sent to the back of the line. However, at the first franchise of Yeganeh's "The Original Soup Man" restaurants (in Princeton, New Jersey), the rules are posted but not enforced in such an extreme manner. It is somewhat difficult to separate fact from fiction in this case, as reporters interviewing Yeganeh tend to casually alienate him at once by mentioning "Seinfeld" and the "Soup Nazi" description, which he finds to be very offensive and degrading to him as a chef and entrepreneur.[citation needed]
It has been revealed that once, Jerry Seinfeld and several members of the production team went to Soup Kitchen International for lunch weeks after "The Soup Nazi" aired. Upon recognizing Jerry, Yeganeh went into a profanity-filled rant about how the show had "ruined" his business and demanded an apology. Allegedly, Jerry gave "the most insincere, sarcastic apology ever given," according to writer Spike Feresten. Obviously having seen the episode, Yeganeh then bellowed "No soup for you!" and evicted them from the restaurant
No soup for you

Look Yeganev up on Youtube, and how he blows up on TV stations that he thinks he's doing a favor for. It's like watching the Iron Sheik if he owned a restaurant.

Newman's my favorite character.

A lot of people outside of the south have no idea what jambalaya is. I once went to a restaurant in Denver that had "jambalaya over rice" on the menu.
Hell if I know what that is.
