Scheana Shay Has a Surprising Take on Katie and Ariana's Sandwich Shop Journey
Scheana shared how she thinks Katie Maloney and Ariana Madix are feeling as they work to open the doors of Something About Her.
Although it has taken much longer than expected to open their sandwich shop, Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney have expressed that they remain excited about the future of Something About Her. However, Scheana Shay has a slightly different perspective on how her friends are feeling at the moment.
On the April 9 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the titular host asked, "Do you think there's any part of Katie and Ariana that regrets staking their flag down in the sandwich shop, given how long it's taken?" and Scheana immediately said, "Yes."
Scheana isn't the only Vanderpump Rules cast member to weigh in on the delayed opening. On Season 11, Episode 9 of the show, James Kennedy said, "I had very high hopes for the girls in the beginning of this whole sandwich endeavor, but you know, as the weeks turn into months and the months turn into more months, there's not much difference between Ariana and Katie's sandwich shop and...Schwartz and Sandy's is there?"
Lisa Vanderpump also had concerns. "I can't believe that sandwich shop is still not open," she said in an episode interview. "They signed the lease over a year ago, and the money they spent on the place, it costs a fortune to have a space that's empty. And sandwiches? They've got to sell a sh-tload. They need to start right now."

When is Something About Her opening?
Although the eatery was expected to open in the summer of 2023, on the March 19 episode of WWHL, Katie confirmed to Andy that the eatery will "for sure" be open by the end of 2024.
Why hasn't Something About Her opened yet?
As Katie explained on a February episode of The Nikki & Brie Show podcast, she and Ariana have "truly been at the mercy of these different agencies and people that assign or give these permits out.”
“It's hard because, especially in West Hollywood, they don’t operate the same way the greater Los Angeles does," she continued. "By the time you get someone to come out and do whatever inspection you need to, which can sometimes take weeks, if there's any kind of repairs or changes you need to make, then that takes the period of time and then you've gotta get them to come back. "
What's on the menu at Something About Her?
In the meantime, Katie and Ariana have been hard at work on their menu. Season 11, Episode 9 of Vanderpump Rules showed that the eatery will offer a Caprese sandwich, a "Greek Goddess" sandwich (which has Persian cucumbers, Boursin cheese, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, and pickled red onion), a Soppressata sandwich, and another with brie and prosciutto.
