Questions? Here is much reading for you. These are questions from most of you to me. They’re probably will not be any road left unturned here. You may think some of these questions are silly. However, they are asked. Repetition is one of my peeves. I really HATE repeating myself. So here ya go. All the answers to all the questions.

What part of Buffalo are you in?
Its not a very large city. For the love of soup ,our city is so small you can spit across it ! If you like to know how long it takes you to get to me, just give me your zip code. I am 15 minutes from the Buffalo Greater International Airport, 15-20 minutes from any bridge bordering the USA and Canada.
What are the stats ? I am 44, 34b-26-hips, no clue, you tell me ![]()
How far in advance do I need to set the appointment?
Early as possible. Same day appointments are generally out of the question. I don’t sit around stirring soup all day you know waiting for the phone to ring
What to do when you arrive to me?
Before arriving, call when close by. ( this never changes throughout the time span of months / years you indulge in my soup. When you arrive, The best time to give me your payment for soup is when I am getting your refreshment. Please place it on my kitchen table in a unsealed envelope marked “soup”.
You will not talk about monies, or you will be asked to move to the left of the line and do not come back for one year. Do not tell me donation is on the table. Clearly , I already know

What happens if I have to cancel soup tasting?
These things happen. Be kind enough to call or send an email within a reasonable time . The soup nazi’s time is just as important as your own. Read my rules about this matter , here
What happens if I am late?
Well then, off with your head ! (soup gets a titch cold , you see .) Who in the hell wants cold soup ? If your tasting is at 1:00 and you arrive 15 minutes late or anytime after, your appointment still ends at 2:00. I have a very busy life, the same as you do. Appointments are made to be kept , not broken. Keep in mind, this is not the only thing I do. I have other work, children, a social life just the same as yourself. And above all.. let us not forget ! Peeling grapes and making soup ! ![]()
What are your hours?
They fluctuate . See daily soup . Soup delivery anytime in Buffalo. No holidays unless specified on schedule . When I am not In Buffalo, My hours are 11 am til 10pm.
What happens if I spill my soup in less than 1hr ?
Your session is 60 minutes no matter what . I have total understanding if you spill your soup early and will do my best to relax you in hopes for another bowl .
Why didn’t you answer my email?
Always check your spam / junk folder / . I’ve had my email addresses longer than Jesus was slurping soup at the Last Supper . I’m sure they have been flagged a time or three ! If that doesn’t work , I didn’t answer you back because you have not asked for soup in a proper manner . It means to move to the left of the line and come back next year for soup !
Ciara, I Called and you didn’t answer?
Fancy that ! If you did not leave a message or a time to call back, you won’t receive a call back . I respect your privacy. However, If you DO NOT leave a msg , I do not even know you called . OR , I was was busy making soup and simple couldn’t put down the ladle quick enough.
Do you see men of color?
If you are purple, no. Purple people scare me. Plus, purple clashes with my hair . Other than that , yes I see men of color .
Do you see couples?
No
Do I need to bring my own spoon?
I have quite the variety of spoons here . No need to bring your own unless you are comfortable with bringing your own spoon ! NYS FDA states , that using more than one spoon in the same pot is not a healthy thing . Please help by always keeping my soup tureen pristine .
What is the age range of men that can have soup?
40 & over only please-Every now and then I’ll slip in a 38-39 year old. Exude maturity first and foremost. Please don’t email me asking me to ,chill, party, or hang out . I do not chill, party, or hang out.
“What wine goes best with your soup? ” “Will you ‘partake’? “
It must be a sweet red from a NYS winery or a WNY local winemaker ( If you would like to know my favorite WNY local vendor / winemaker, email me ) or a white wine from the same . I never drink wine during soup. I do NOT partake in ANY illegal substance. Neither shall you . Nor shall you bring it into my soup kitchen.
What can I bring you for our session?
Just yourself. In the event you want to bring me a gift, it is so thoughtful. Pier1 is my favorite store. Apple /Mac gift cards are my favorite gift cards, Yankee Candles are my favorite , Anything Celtic is lovely , and Mercedes is my favorite car ![]()
Ciara, why do they call you the Soup Nazi ?
Because I have so many rules . So follow them.. Or move to the left of the line, and no soup for you
Do you accept credit cards?
Sure , let’s go shopping ! ( hehe) However , for soup tasting sessions , No .
Do you accept Paypal ? Yes , If we have had a previous soup tasting session before and it is only for a 1hr taste of Buffalo soup .
Do you accept Canadian currency , eh ? No
Do you cross the border , eh ? I travel way too much on my passport and nexus pass . I do not need either or flagged . Thank you for understanding, eh
Do you accept Canadian currency , eh ? No
A friendly reminder if you are a USA citizen and wanting to take a trip into Canada after you have had soup !!!! To cross any Buffalo / Canadian border YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR PASSPORT ! You need it to walk across now, too . Other than that .. you could always do the ‘going over the falls in a barrel’ thing from the American side . Heck, at least you won’t be hungry and have had your soup !
