Seinfeld writer and producer Spike Feresten recalls Jerry Seinfeld's real-life encounter with the Soup Nazi inspiration after the release of the iconic episode. First airing in 1989, Seinfeld chronicles the daily life of the eponymous New York City comedian and his friends, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, and Michael Richards. A number of funny scenes and episodes have lived on from the show, which concluded in 1998, but season 7, episode 6, "The Soup Nazi," remains one of the show's most-loved episodes.
