We find it hard to believe that we were the only ones who came armed with a ladle for Larry Thomas, aka the “Seinfeld” Soup Nazi, to autograph. He’s a guy who surely has to be sick of fans requesting he recite his infamous “No soup for you!” line.

“Not at all! I know it sounds weird, but it makes me smile every time someone says it,” mused our man of the hour (the nicest TV sitcom villain we’ve come across) during the Halloween Masquerade Ball to benefit the Jubilee Soup Kitchen.

Hosted by the Pittsburgh Social Exchange and Mountain Creations Log Homes, the event drew a soldout crowd of caped crusaders, including PSE founders Michelle Silverman and Scott Drudy, event co-chairs Lynda and Paul Schneider and rock ‘n’ roller/Marcels founder Freddie “Blue Moon” Johnson — who we’re sure were all contenders for the best raffle prize we’ve ever come across: the Wheelbarrow of Booze.

“That was a big hit … obviously!” laughed Lynda.

Another big hit: We hear our favorite Soup Nazi will be back in the ‘Burgh to make sure the bowls are filled at Jubilee on Thanksgiving Day.

Deelish!
