History Is Made: The ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Sandwich Shop Is Really, Finally Open
There are magnificent feats that can be accomplished in the span of two years. A scholar can get an associate’s degree. An athlete can train for and complete a marathon. A media investigator can launch a digital news startup, burn through $50 million of capital, and shut the endeavor down completely. And, as we learned today, reality stars Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney can learn to make a sandwich.
I’m being glib, though only slightly, about the Vanderpump Rules cast members’ long-in-the-making achievement: Their already infamous sandwich shop, Something About Her, finally opened today.
How long has it taken to open the shop’s doors? Spiritually, you could quote the lady from Titanic and it would feel right: just about 84 years. Realistically, Bravo fans—at the least the ones who dare eat carbs—have been waiting over two years for Something About Her to be in business, a period featuring a parade of delays and false starts that turned the entrepreneurial adventure into a running joke.
