Original Soupman/Crepe Maker at northpark
Written by TG on Wednesday, 24 January 2007 at 8:49 am
While most of the blah-blah re: the Glorious Makeover of NorthPark Center has centered on Barney’sBarney’sBarney’s, there’s news that may interest those w/ a culinary bent. Namely, that HERE NOW* is the la-dee-da first-in-TX branch of The Original Soupman, the now-franchiseable chain launched by Seinfeld cameo-ite Al Yeganeh (w/ corporate partner types), paired w/ a FL concept called Crepe Maker (”home of the handheld crepe”). Crepes, OKfinewhatever, but thumbs up to good soups, rare in Dallas. Hope they’ll execute their menu - soups, salads, cold sandwiches, toasted paninis - in a quality manner; nobody seems able to do that in dallas. Their website’s good, the best thing being a pull-down “rules” menu that includes rules for press (e.g., “only some of the questions emailed may be answered”) and rules for customers offered in 11 languages. (Dutch for “Pick the soup you want!”: Kies de soep die u wil!)

Are you sure that this place is not open? I ask because there is a soup place at the corner, in the new food mart, that my wife raves about. I’ve walked by it, but can’t remember what it was named.
And their website shows a menu for today.

The Dutch name for this place is:
Ik ben niet de soep nazi!

thank you to mr & mrs bk - she apparently knows more about the comings & goings of northpark than the northpark SECURITY OFFICE. (i guess i could’ve waited to talk to the PR first before posting this item but i was anxious.)
item updated, 10-Q very much
