The Dinner Party (Seinfeld)

[1] The episode follows the cast's struggles to get to a dinner party with the obligatory gifts of cake and a bottle of wine.

George, who is sporting a large Gore-Tex coat due to the cold weather outside, finds this social obligation illogical.

Jerry and Elaine stop at Royal Bakery to purchase a chocolate babka while Kramer and George go to buy wine.

As a result, David and Barbara Benedict, a couple on their way to the same dinner party, get ahead of them in line and purchase the last chocolate babka.

Embittered by the evening's events, George, Kramer, Jerry and Elaine finally arrive at the party, where they give the hostess the babka and the wine at the door and immediately leave.
