‘No soup for you!': Seinfeld's Soup Nazi serves fans (and a cause) in New Westminster
Actor Larry Thomas, best known for his unforgettable 'No soup for you!' catchphrase, made a special appearance Sunday at Greens & Beans Deli in New Westminster. Three decades after his iconic line first aired on Seinfeld, the Soup Nazi is still serving up laughs – and soup – for a good cause. Actor Larry Thomas, best known for his unforgettable 'No soup for you!' catchphrase, made a special appearance Sunday at Greens & Beans Deli in New Westminster. Fans lined up for a bowl and a chance to meet the man behind one of the most quotable characters in sitcom history. 'I told him my mom passed away a few years ago, and watching Seinfeld was something we always did as a family,' said local resident Chris Keough. 'The Soup Nazi was her favourite character.' Proceeds from the event went to support victims of the Lapu Lapu Day tragedy. For Thomas, it was more than just reliving a role. 'We always have fun doing this,' he said. 'But just being able to raise money and help people – how could you not?' Thomas has made appearances at the deli before, including a 2017 event to support wildfire relief efforts. Deli owner Matthew Green says it's all about bringing people together. 'If you can put smiles on faces while also helping people in need – that's the ultimate recipe for success.' Even kids too young to have seen the original show were in on the fun. Ten-year-old Attila stole the spotlight with a full Soup Nazi performance, earning cheers – and approval – from Thomas himself. The fundraiser brought in over $10,000.

Fundraising efforts continue for Lapu Lapu festival victims one month after attack
VANCOUVER - Efforts to raise money to support the victims of the attack on Vancouver's Lapu Lapu Day festival are still underway one month after the vehicle ramming that killed 11 and injured dozens more. Multiple fundraisers were held this weekend to support the families of those killed in the attack and those who were hurt. In New Westminster, B.C., on Sunday, 'Soup Nazi' actor Larry Thomas, best known for his role as a strict soup seller on the sitcom 'Seinfeld,' served soup as part of a fundraiser at the Greens And Beans Deli. A three-kilometre run was held earlier that day at the Toronto Zoo to raise money for United Way's Kapwa Strong Fund, which offers grants to not-for-profit organizations supporting those affected by the attack. And a tribute concert took place on Saturday in Surrey, B.C., hosted by the local Philippine Independence Day Society, which issued a statement saying nine Surrey families were impacted by the tragedy. The annual festival had just finished on the evening of April 26 when an SUV rammed through the crowd, causing what has been called the 'darkest day' in the city's history. Adam Kai-Ji Lo faces eight counts of second-degree murder and further charges are anticipated. This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 26, 2025
