Something About Her

‘Vanderpump’ Stars Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney Open Sandwich Shop Next Week | Eater LA

"Opening on May 22, I report that Something About Her is a long‑awaited sandwich shop from Vanderpump Rules alums Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney located at 640 N. Robertson Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA 90046 (the article also references 649 North Robertson Boulevard). The space was designed by Jon Hutman to feel feminine with a “Frenchy” vibe—kitschy European café touches, dark sage green trellises, and brass accents—aiming for “main character energy in a rom‑com.” After permit delays, the duo secured a liquor license and plan to sell beer, wine and wine‑based cocktails (no full cocktail program), plus beer, cider, hard tea, hard kombucha, spritzes, and Avaline wine; nonalcoholic options include Recess, a zero‑proof beer, Olipop, kombucha, sparkling tea, Leisure hydration, and tea (no coffee on site, though Alana’s Coffee Roasters and Verve are nearby). The menu, revealed in a friends‑and‑family preview, names sandwiches after women in films: the Diane (Sicilian tuna salad, sunflower microgreens, marinated fennel, preserved lemon, fresh dill on pumpernickel), the Reese (chicken salad, balsamic mustard, gem lettuce on 7‑grain), the Kerry (chickpea tuna salad and fennel), the Drew (goat cheese and mango jalapeño jam), the Kate (burrata and tomatoes), the Cameron (pesto garlic aioli and Italian cold cuts), the Viola (smoked turkey and chipotle mayo), the Meg (Greek salad and tzatziki on lavash), and the Nancy (BLT on toasted sourdough), plus peanut butter & jelly and grilled cheese; sandwiches range from $14 (the Drew) to $19 (the Cameron). Penny Davidi was initially involved as a chef/partner but is no longer working with the business and has alleged a trademark/partnership dispute; Lisa Vanderpump is serving only as a mentor, not an investor.
