Although touted as the show about nothing, Seinfeld was about everything happening in and around the Big Apple. The ragtag group’s most memorable moments and misadventures were inspired by politics, festivals, holidays, anti-consumerism, friendships, romantic mishaps, gifting etiquette, and much, much more.

Many of the zany plotlines and moments of physical comedy on Seinfeld involve food. Fans are often able to spot a culinary item as set dressing, but sometimes food even features as part of the main storyline. There was plenty of iconic food featured in Seinfeld, and it can make viewers seriously hungry.

The Never-Ending Wait For Dinner At The Chinese Restaurant

Elaine’s hunger pangs and growing frustration are some of the classic moments in Seinfeld’s “The Chinese Restaurant.” She, Jerry, and George are repeatedly told by the host at Hunan 5th Avenue that they will have a table in “five, ten minutes.” As they wait to be seated, bizarre things keep happening. A large party and Mr. Cohen from Park Avenue are promptly let in but the friends’ wait window of “five, ten minutes” remains unchanged.

Fans are able to relate to the classic episode because the chances of getting into the city’s busiest restaurant without a reservation are slim. Hunger makes Elaine reminisce over her previous delicious meals and it’s enough to make fans’ mouths water.

Another Round Of Strawberry Yogurt For Newman And His Friends

Newman is remembered for his dramatic monologues, bouts of anger, and iniquity. He’s also known for his love of food, especially the “non-fat” strawberry yogurt, Drake’s Coffee Cakes, and Yev Kassem’s jambalaya soup. The first of these food items — the strawberry yogurt — makes him giddy and he claims to have waited for a dessert as delicious his whole life.

Newman relishing the strawberry yogurt and placing an order for another round makes fans wish the mailman had tasted more of the froyo while it lasted. Sadly for Newman, the frozen yogurt shop was shut due to bogus nutrition claims and he was never the same again. It’s hard for viewers to watch the episode without hankering for some of that mouth-watering frozen dessert.

The Last Chocolate Babka

Season 5’s “The Dinner Party” shows the gang caught in a tireless waiting game to get the last chocolate babka at a bakery in NYC. They are unable to do so because they forget to pick a number and waste their time bickering with a couple who are also headed to the same place.

Elaine and Jerry’s alternatives to the delicious chocolate babka are carrot cake, black forest cake, napoleon, and cinnamon babka. But because both of them keep vetoing desserts, their only option is the cinnamon babka. Elaine is insistent on getting the chocolate variety because to her, cinnamon is the lesser babka. She professes her love for the chocolate babka in an unforgettable way that makes fans wish it was them walking out of the bakery with the last piece of chocolate goodness.

Fresh Lobster For Dinner

While vacationing in East Hampton, Kramer finds lobsters from a commercial trap in the ocean and cooks his friends a delicious dinner. Everyone at the table loves the taste of the freshly cooked lobster meat. The pleasing visuals make the lobsters one of the most memorable Seinfeld foods.

Unfortunately, the events lead to Kramer being sentenced to community service for lobster poaching, but it’s only fair he pays off the decadent dinner he had in the Hamptons.

The Big Salad Moment

Elaine loves the big salad from Monk’s because it has large lettuce, oversized carrots, and tomatoes like volleyballs.

This simple but well-done garden salad is a healthier alternative to Seinfeld foods such as pretzels, the hairy cinnamon babka, and the black-and-white cookie that ends Jerry’s non-vomit streak. For busy fans, the big salad can also serve as great food inspiration as it has perfect base ingredients for an on-the-go meal.

George Eating A Sundae

George is at the Flushing Meadows tennis court, and he goes to the snack bar on a scorching day without realizing there are cameras around filming. This premise in and of itself spells trouble to fans who know how events unfold in the Seinfeld universe.

George picks a hot-fudge sundae and eats it with a joy that’s not dissimilar to a baby trying their first ice cream. He gets about eight seconds of airtime and the commentators make a couple of cracks about him. That said, George’s sundae eating visual serves as a reminder of finding pleasure in eating every once in a while.

Frank’s Memories Cooking For The Army

In season 8’s “The Fatigues,” Frank Costanza’s cooking flashback takes viewers back to his days slinging hash for the Fighting 103rd in Inchon, Korea. He reminisces about prime Texan beef in a way that has fans wishing he cooked more on the show. Frank tells Kramer about him and his GIs locating a crate loaded with 600 pounds of Texas steer.

Although the meat is past its prime, Frank claims he could have salvaged the situation if it wasn’t for his brash decision of overseasoning the meat. Nonetheless, the image of him cooking huge pieces of delicious beef are a fantastic visual and bound to make viewers hungry.

Big Stein Wants Paisano’s Calzone

Seinfeld dedicated an entire episode to Big Stein’s hankering for Paisano’s meaty calzone. The snack is filled with eggplant, cheese, and pepperoni and it’s totally worth replacing the Yankee’s bathroom-stalls executive meeting agenda to enjoy. Once Mr. Steinbrenner gets a taste of the eggplant calzone, he dismisses the meeting and sends George to fetch him some more immediately.

The calzone that wins George favor with Big Stein has to be delicious, savory, and tantalizing. The episode is a reminder that the calzones are seriously underrated and need to be appreciated more.

The Mackinaw Peaches From Oregon

Fruit-obsessed Kramer expresses enthusiasm about the Mackinaw peaches in an unforgettable way in “The Doodle.” He waltzes into Jerry’s apartment to tell him the peaches he’d been waiting for all year are finally in, claiming the juicy fruit makes his taste buds come alive.

Kramer’s obsession with the peaches is a reminder to fans of the multiple health benefits of the fruit. But unfortunately for him, his taste buds are disabled during the peach season and by the time he’s able to taste again, the rare fruit is no longer available.

Kassem’s Soup

“The Soup Nazi” is Seinfeld’s love affair with the humble soup. Actor Larry Thomas, who starred as the episode’s titular character, is counted among the best guest stars in Seinfeld. Because Thomas’ character Kassem views the act of making soup akin to worship, he expects his customers to adhere to proper protocol. Not many understand his need for discipline, and the gang’s disregard costs him his business.

Nevertheless, Kassem cooks up a “stunning” soup. It’s chunky, flavorful, and hearty. No wonder Elaine has to sit down on the pavement after her taste test and Jerry refuses to share his bowl with George.
