Soup Nazi to Boil Over at Appearance?

Al Yeganeh, Seinfeld's celebrated "Soup Nazi," has recently been making a blizzard of public appearances promoting his Original SoupMan restaurant chain. (Yeganeh , who is Jewish, despises the "soup Nazi tag" and refuses to even mention or address it. His site simply refers to the show inspired by him as the "Soup episode.") Given the chef's famous testiness, his 5 p.m. appearance at f.y.e. might be worth witnessing. The ads tout the chance to "meet 'the soup Nazi' in person" and "have him sign your copy of Seinfeld Season 7." Is there any way to take odds on how many times Yeganeh gets called a Nazi or is asked to say "No soup for you!" before he blows his top? We would put the over-under at two and a half.

Meet the Soup Nazi, f.y.e., 1290 Sixth Ave., at 52nd St., 5 p.m.
