ET Gets the Inside Scoop on the ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Stars’ New West Hollywood Sandwich Shop
West Hollywood just got a whole lot tastier with the new sandwich shop opened by the stars of hit reality show ‘Vanderpump Rules.’ ET had the privilege to get an exclusive look at the restaurant, which is partially inspired by Hollywood’s legendary filmmaker Nancy Meyers. The delicious sandwiches and beautiful decor will transport you straight into one of her beloved movies.
The ‘Vanderpump Rules’ sandwich shop, aptly named “Pump Rules Deli,” is the brainchild of the show’s stars Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix. The power couple has been making waves in the entertainment industry with their successful businesses, and this latest venture is no exception.
As I walked into the restaurant, I was immediately struck by the stunning interior, which is a perfect blend of modern and cozy. The walls are adorned with quotes and posters from Nancy Meyers’ movies like ‘The Holiday’ and ‘Something’s Gotta Give,’ adding a touch of nostalgia and magic to the space.
I was greeted by Tom and Ariana, who were both full of excitement and pride for their new business. They explained how Nancy Meyers’ movies have always been a source of inspiration for them, with their beautiful and inviting homes and kitchens. They wanted to recreate that same feeling in their sandwich shop, and I have to say, they have succeeded.
The menu features a variety of mouthwatering sandwiches, all named after famous characters from Nancy Meyers’ movies. From the “Jack Nicholson” pastrami sandwich to the “Cameron Diaz” veggie wrap, there is something for everyone. I was lucky enough to try the “Diane Keaton” turkey sandwich, and I can attest that it was indeed divine.
But it’s not just about the food at Pump Rules Deli; it’s also about the experience. Tom and Ariana have made sure to incorporate elements from their own lives into the restaurant, giving it a personal touch. For example, there is a section of the menu dedicated to Tom’s famous cocktails from his bar, TomTom, and a section of Ariana’s favorite vegan options.
As we delved deeper into the concept behind the restaurant, Tom and Ariana shared how they wanted to create a space that felt like home to their customers. And I have to say, they have succeeded. The comfortable seating, warm lighting, and welcoming staff make you feel like you are in a friend’s kitchen, enjoying a delicious sandwich and great conversation.
But let’s not forget the true star of the show here, Nancy Meyers. Her iconic movies have not only inspired the decor and menu but also the music played in the restaurant. From Frank Sinatra to Ella Fitzgerald, the soundtrack of Pump Rules Deli will transport you back to a simpler time, just like the feeling you get when watching one of Nancy Meyers’ movies.
As our interview came to an end, I couldn’t help but feel impressed by Tom and Ariana’s passion for their new business. They have truly created something special with Pump Rules Deli, and I have no doubt that it will become a hot spot for both locals and tourists in West Hollywood.
So next time you’re in the neighborhood, make sure to stop by Pump Rules Deli and indulge in a delicious sandwich while basking in the warm and welcoming atmosphere. And who knows, you may even catch a glimpse of Tom and Ariana, the masterminds behind this wonderful addition to West Hollywood.
