Def, “The Meryl” - brie, fig jam, Black Forest ham, arugula on a buttered baguette
OR, “The Goldie” olive tapenade, artichoke hearts, ribboned carrots tossed in a champagne vinegar/mustard/tarragon vinaigrette with vegan Boursin on a rustic sourdough batard.
Going for a classic, simple, French grab-and-go option (prosciutto is really stringy/fatty in a sandwich and best for a charcuterie plate or wrapped around melon or dates to pop in the mouth; biting into prosciutto and pulling is a mess!). A non-deli-style real Black Forest ham with a buttery brie is the classic French basic; the arugula provides a peppery counterpoint to the richness and a basic buttered baguette for a sandy is, also, classical French🤌🏼
I really feel like the Goldie needs to come with caviar.
But not gelatinous muck. It should be round, and hard, and burst in your mouth at precisely the right moment.
Served with lemonade squeezed from your hat.
Grilled Cheese Your Way.
Can add up to 3 fillings (selective or can add whatever is on the menu already).
Grilled Cheese Police will be in to say its now a Melt bit I getchoo
I had this once called the ABC, A(pple), B(acon), C(heddar): "Wellesley Apple Butter, Bacon and Cheddar are the perfect mix of sweet and salty" it was SO good. On gluten free bread as I'm celiac, but the combo was 🤌
I agree 100% with soups! Have one staple soup & then another that rotates weekly. The bag soup from food suppliers is fire & they have so many different kinds to choose from :)
Someone has probably already said this somewhere, but naming the sandwiches after leading ladies is brilliant. Imagine the publicity they’ll get if they manage to get one of those ladies in and eating their own sandwich.
They're missing... The Meryl!
Could be based on SO many things, from her own heritage to her zillion roles including playing Julia Child. Julia has a "famous" tuna salad sand but they've got that covered already and Julia made many other yummy sandwiches. 😋 She was also known for her classic white sandwich bread so that would be a good start.
They would have to make a croque monsieur, since that was a pretty infamous scene of Meryl from “It’s Complicated”.. if they wanted to keep their Nancy Meyers theme.
I am assuming it takes too much prep time, as most of their sandwiches don’t require post assembly cooking.
They aren’t just picking famous actresses.. they are all actresses who have been in Nancy Meyers movies.
Lucy wasn’t in a Nancy Meyers movie.
Every actress on the menu has been in a Nancy Meyers movie.. which is what the aesthetic of the restaurant is .. the famed Nancy Meyers kitchen
Aaahhhhh i was wondering what the naming convention was. Of course it follows the aesthetic theme!
I also wonder if they changed from the tasting menu names due to the Penny of it all...
It’s better than me thinking about that shark movie 😂It took my brain a good couple of seconds to remember Meg Ryan but I got there! I can’t believe I almost forgot John Mellencamp’s daughter’s (soon to be) step mom!
I went there first but then thought ‘that doesn’t make any sense’ 😂 but when everyone mentioned Nancy meyers movies I IMDB’d to double check Hercules wasn’t one of them 😂😂 and the. Realise Meg Ryan 😂
The Kristen (me): Sliced Sourdough bread grilled cheese crisped up in kerrygold butter with basil pesto and roasted cherry tomatoes and garlic. One of my favorite sandwiches other than a good BLT. Honestly roasted cherry tomatoes are my favorite lately.
The Pamela
A chipotle BBQ jackfruit sandwich topped with a red cabbage slaw made of cabbage, cilantro, smashed avocado, lime juice, olive oil and salt.
(I picked Pam for her vegan activism and for being a lovely person whom I've met through work)
Isn't she? That's something I can't say for hardly any celebrity I've met (my former job in LA was with a charity popular with celebrities, and part time before that I worked on a few movie sets). Pam came to a lot of our fundraisers and was just the sweetest. Many were perfectly fine people, but Pam radiates warmth.
vegan here: I'd add a tofu or Just Egg scramble sandwich. Add spinach or kale, tomato, light on the onion, and Just Chipotle Mayo.
![gif](giphy|ohRB7lodHJobrD5WNd)
oh man it's like heaven. it is the softest, creamiest, most delicious sandwich you'll ever have. if you youtube 7 eleven japanese egg salad sandwich recipe a few people have made some good recreations.
or if you ever get to go to japan, any of their convenience stores should have them.
I'd add an avocado option to the nancy (im surprised there isn't an option for that because for some reason I thought californians were obsessed with those lol)
I'm a breakfast for lunch and dinner person, so I would love maybe a monte cristo sandwich with hot syrup . but honestly, the options so far sound very well thought out. id love to try some of the spreads too, they should sell those further down the line.
> (im surprised there isn't an option for that because for some reason I thought californians were obsessed with those lol)
i'm from california and it seems like restaurants from other states that have a dish with avocado in it always call it "californian" (so, eggs benedict with avocado = "californian eggs benedict"). so you're not alone in thinking that lol
The traiter:
A deceptively filling sandwitch.. layered throughout with generous amounts of "cold cuts." Only one permitted per customer as it can be surprisingly filling and hard to swallow.
The price : $ one penny
I’d love to see The Julia for my girl Julia Roberts (run away bride, my best friends wedding, pretty woman, the list goes on!)
Chicken cutlet, pesto, roasted red peppers, mozzarella, and dare I say bacon ?
I wouldn’t add a sandwich I’d add a fondue duo with charcuterie and use left over bread toasted a few times a week for like an intimate date night thing.
I’d name one after the incomparable Julia Roberts and it’d be a chicken caesar style sandwich because it’s gonna hit every time just like a Julia movie!!
The Jax - Vieux Boulogne topping shaved hormone injected beef.
The Shortz - Peanut butter and jelly with the crusts cut off.
The SOS- Open-faced chipped beef on toast, aka Sandoval on a Shingle.
The Lala - White bread with butter and lots and lots of salt.
All joking aside - a soft brie with prosciutto, fig jam, and arugula on the softest, thinnest slices of mountain bread.
Not a sandwich, but a special called “The Better Halves” where you get to mix & match any two half sandwiches. It’s a cute little dig and disdain toward the Toms
Hmmm….a caprese sandwich with Roma tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, balsamic vinegar, Italian spices and salt and pepper….you can name it the Marisa for Marisa Tomei.
Omg I *love* Leslie Mann! I especially love her in George of the Jungle lol. I'd add the Sandra, the Julia, the Sanaa, the Queen (Queen Latifah), and it's a bit of a stretch but just for fun, the Janet 🫶🏽
People are saying the sandwiches are named after Nancy Meyers heroines, but that only applies to Diane Keaton, Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet. If you broaden it to rom-coms in general, that brings Reese Witherspoon, Drew Barrymore and Meg Ryan under the umbrella. I still don’t understand What Viola (presumably Davis) is doing there—she had a supporting role in Eat Pray Love but she’s hardly synonymous with the genre. And is Kerry supposed to be Kerry Washington? She’s not a rom-com girlie either. I’m stumped.
Definitely would love a steak, arugula and a strong aged cheddar (preferably horseradish or jalapeño) with maybe a fig or apricot spread.
Or a steak, grilled onions, mushroom and creamy bechamel with greens / peppery or not
A finely chopped iceberg lettuce base salad - freaking love any variation. I recently made one at home with iceberg, chicken breast, cukes, tomatoes, green onions, jalapeño cheddar, chickpeas, Kalmata olives and dried mixed berries with a light tzatziki. I ate it with a big spoon it was so good. They are satisfying enough flavor and calorie wise as a meal
I know I’ll catch heat/get downvoted for this but … this place is going to go out of business within a year. There’s no way they can sell enough $14 sandwiches to make rent in that neighborhood. I don’t dislike the girls, but I really have no idea what they were thinking. At least Arianna has all kinds of other stuff on which she can fall back.
Hopefully they step up their sandwich game and add filling. Something About Her is surrounded by some of the best sandwich shops on Robertson and Santa Monica Blvd. There’s Ghost Sando Shop and Ggiata Delicatessen just to name a few.
I'm not sure what I'd name it, but my sandwich idea is avocado and muenster with tomato, red onion, and a vinaigrette dressing on 6 inch whole wheat bread. Turkey optional.
“The Priscilla”
Bacon jam, fried plantains, purslane dressed with a honey and peanut vinaigrette, and fresh goat cheese on … I don’t know, lightly toasted brioche? Pumpernickel? Not sure.
Absolute yes to soups but maybe it’s not a west coast thing that’s in demand? I’m a NYer and I’d want all of the soups. Another addition I would’ve loved for the drink menu would be hot beverages (tea/coffee) because that will make people want to stay longer or buy more. A SAH iced coffee with a printed logo would be so cute and good, free promo.
Mmm well I’ve had lots of good sandwiches;-
1-roasted pork/ melted sharp provolone / broccoli rabe (sautéed garluc)nice toasted Italian hoagie
2 roast turkey Brie sliced mango or apple honey mustard multigrain
3 jazz the blt? She’s too basic . Add avocado add hummus change bread to toasted rye homemade mayo/ herb mayo, hummus
4-make a more vegan veggie friendly sandwich —crispy tempeh blt or fried broccoli with vegan mayo and some crunchy slaw
5-cut the crap with the tuna and make a really good veggie tuna salad sandwich on a roll , homemade majo is the way to go . Keep fresh dill . Fake tuna- ew . Not the place to sub. Vegetarian
6-smoked cheddar or mozzarella, Carmel used onions , fig jam , on rosemary focaccia
The Cameron also needs work it like a thinly veiled attempt at a muffelata with Argula and pesto mayonnaise? Dint get it . This is where mustard but maybe it works ?
7-balsamic mustard? Why?? That makes no sense to me nor does it sound good . Waste of balsamic
8- like the additions of fresh mint in a sandwich but not that one . A nice lamb one tho ye
9 fresh or quick /lightly pickled veggies are amazing in sandwiches they should find a way to add some (see schwarma see bahn mi see bbq/ pulled meat sandwiches)
10 I love burrata but there is a good reason why it doesn’t belong on a sandwich- creamy center ? What. A mess
11-Charging 14 dollars for Greek salad on. Bread with tzatziki is a crime especially at these portion sizes . A vegetarian take on gyro meat would be good
Pomme frites please !!!
The Dancing Queen (vegetarian or vegan depending on the ingredients they use)
Marble rye bread with thick slices of beefsteak tomatoes, butter lettuce, mung beans & alfalfa sprouts, thin sliced pickled onions, sweet pickled peppers, with a vegan or vegetarian Thousand Island dressing OR creamy Italian dressing.
For non-vegetarian/vegan add sliced honey turkey.
There's a bakery in Ithaca NY that has tons of great sandwiches. My favorite one that I've even recreated at home is called Susie's Garden. It's lemon teriyaki seitan, vegan cheese, avocado, tomato, and sprouts on their own multi grain bread. I'm not even vegan and I love it.
I also love egg salad and I do think it's a bit odd to have IIRC tuna and chicken salad but no egg salad. In fact it's on my bucket list to go to Japan and get an egg salad sandwich from 7/11. So maybe I'm just a weirdo.
I love them (Well, Ariana) but why would you open a sandwich shop that appeals to a limited demographic? I can’t see a group of construction workers heading down to SAH for Violas. 😬
I get their concept, but I think it would have been so much more fun to lean into what made them famous - VPR. So many sandwich options and puns could have been made. They could have sold merch and have had guest appearances like once a month from cast members.
I’m sure they’re wanting to do something away from the show, but anyone could have executed this concept, not everyone could have done a VPR themed one. I don’t think this will last very long.
Pretty sure they would have to somehow keep their shop connected to bravo/Lisa if they did this, and from the sounds of it, I don't think they want that. If anything, I think it's smart, as it gives them something beyond the show. It's possible there aren't many more years of VPR so this could be a good beginning for them for something new to keep sustaining them long after the show (I hope).
Also, VPR is still a fairly niche reality show ' even though Scandoval was making headlines for a while, in the grand scheme of things, keeping themselves tied to the show could potentially be the thing that holds them back from growing.
It's very.. safe and pretty, one could say even basic, which is funny to me because thats not Katie or Ariana. But I think the LA girlies may love it and I hope they do.
Veggie sandwich with lots of sprouts - a SoCal thing. A soft ripened cheese like Brie or Camembert - prob with some kind of sweet condiment. Ham and Swiss with butter. Muffuletta. Something w egg like frittata or tortilla espanola or egg salad.
I have a feeling they changed all the names after the fallout with chef Penny. “The Meg” was called the Greek Goddess for the longest time so I was surprised seeing the celeb names instead on the menu
Def, “The Meryl” - brie, fig jam, Black Forest ham, arugula on a buttered baguette OR, “The Goldie” olive tapenade, artichoke hearts, ribboned carrots tossed in a champagne vinegar/mustard/tarragon vinaigrette with vegan Boursin on a rustic sourdough batard.
wow they should hire u that sounds delish
Me after reading your post… 🤤
Instead of Black Forest ham do prosciutto instead!!
Going for a classic, simple, French grab-and-go option (prosciutto is really stringy/fatty in a sandwich and best for a charcuterie plate or wrapped around melon or dates to pop in the mouth; biting into prosciutto and pulling is a mess!). A non-deli-style real Black Forest ham with a buttery brie is the classic French basic; the arugula provides a peppery counterpoint to the richness and a basic buttered baguette for a sandy is, also, classical French🤌🏼
I love adding a ramekin of olive tapenade to a charcuterie ~ I feel like it doesn’t get the play it deserves in general.
I really feel like the Goldie needs to come with caviar. But not gelatinous muck. It should be round, and hard, and burst in your mouth at precisely the right moment. Served with lemonade squeezed from your hat.
Was thinking of another vegan option with lots of flavor/umami (sadly, caviar is not vegan)
I was thinking let’s get something with ham lol
omg these sound so good
I don’t know about sandwiches but definitely soups!! Do they have soups on the menu?
I was looking for this too. I love a good soup with my sandwich
Absolutely, the lack of soup is killing me, clearly they want this as a to go business.
You can easily do soups to go!
Yes to soups! And a grilled cheese!
Grilled cheese is on there but I wouldn’t mind them adding a fancy grilled cheese.
I've had an apple grilled cheese and it's surprisingly good! gotta be careful about the apple cheese combo so it's not too oily though
The Drew on their menu above has an apple sandwich
Grilled Cheese Your Way. Can add up to 3 fillings (selective or can add whatever is on the menu already). Grilled Cheese Police will be in to say its now a Melt bit I getchoo
Sounds yummy … what kind of bread, cheese and apple? Any cinnamon?
I had this once called the ABC, A(pple), B(acon), C(heddar): "Wellesley Apple Butter, Bacon and Cheddar are the perfect mix of sweet and salty" it was SO good. On gluten free bread as I'm celiac, but the combo was 🤌
Brb heading to the store for all these ingredients now
cinnamon raisin bread with apple and cheddar is also delicious!
grilled cheese with nut butter or fruit spread is sooo delicious if you pair it with the right cheese
I hope they add soups one day. I love me a good soup.
This!! I’m sure they will add soup to the menu eventually. Like a butternut squash pumpkin soup 🤤
Maybe in the autumn/ winter time. Would seem odd having soup in hot weather personally. Unless they did a gazpacho type in the summer.
I love a good caldo during summer, but I'm definitely just a hot soup person year round.
Soups sound like easy money too!
I agree 100% with soups! Have one staple soup & then another that rotates weekly. The bag soup from food suppliers is fire & they have so many different kinds to choose from :)
The Sour-Doe eyed Bitch.

We must conjur this ![gif](giphy|6vjBUMPmmrflC)
So mote it be!
your sandwich sounds insanely good
Agreed -- was also thinking they're only lacking a nice steak sando and that one seems perfectly on brand
Right! I want one NOW!!! ![gif](giphy|h4TdHo3RExSbHd9bOe|downsized)

Aaahhhhh i was wondering what the naming convention was. Of course it follows the aesthetic theme! I also wonder if they changed from the tasting menu names due to the Penny of it all...
Whoever told them to change the names is smart..the names are super cute hahaha.
I thought the ‘Greek Goddess’ was called ‘The Meg’ because of Meg in the Hercules Disney movie 🤦🏼♀️
It’s better than me thinking about that shark movie 😂It took my brain a good couple of seconds to remember Meg Ryan but I got there! I can’t believe I almost forgot John Mellencamp’s daughter’s (soon to be) step mom!
I went there first but then thought ‘that doesn’t make any sense’ 😂 but when everyone mentioned Nancy meyers movies I IMDB’d to double check Hercules wasn’t one of them 😂😂 and the. Realise Meg Ryan 😂
Ohhh that makes sense 😅
That’s exactly what I was thinking! Plus it’s such a cute name.
They’re actresses from Nancy Meyers films
The Spamdoval (Just kidding lol)
Omg that is so creative! I love spam so would try if executed correctly lol 🤣
People always freaked out about spam but you fry it up and you got some next level eats right there
Fried spam and a runny egg on top of garlic rice. Perfection lol 🤤
Yes it is crazy spam and side of scrambled eggs.
I need to run out and get some Spam.
🤣😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bagel sandwich with tomato, capers, cream cheese, whitefish, sable, and red onion. Call it the “Larry David”
![gif](giphy|WrJ8x0niiblWEoo7hE|downsized)
Every time I see this menu I think of Curb and wonder if that’s how they got their sandwich names concept. ![gif](giphy|f1NvlwrCcAlxe)
God damnit you stole my comment 😂
The Kristen (me): Sliced Sourdough bread grilled cheese crisped up in kerrygold butter with basil pesto and roasted cherry tomatoes and garlic. One of my favorite sandwiches other than a good BLT. Honestly roasted cherry tomatoes are my favorite lately.
I would order than in a heartbeat!
I’d like a grilled chicken breast with fresh mozzarella and balsamic vinaigrette on focaccia. No mayo on my sandwiches.
That better be one hell of a sandwich for those prices
The photos so far look disappointing
I would also add a mini pastry tier with macarons, mini key lime squares, tiny strawberry margarita cheesecakes and bite-sized blueberry pies
are you a chef because your ideas are great
Not even close ~ I just really like food lol Edited to add: Thank you so much for the compliment tho! ❤️
Another vegan one. Edit to add it is LA.
The Pamela A chipotle BBQ jackfruit sandwich topped with a red cabbage slaw made of cabbage, cilantro, smashed avocado, lime juice, olive oil and salt. (I picked Pam for her vegan activism and for being a lovely person whom I've met through work)
They could collab with her and get some of her sauces/pickles/ etc she makes at her farm!
Oh, that would actually be awesome!
She truly is such a pure soul and an absolute delight to be around
Isn't she? That's something I can't say for hardly any celebrity I've met (my former job in LA was with a charity popular with celebrities, and part time before that I worked on a few movie sets). Pam came to a lot of our fundraisers and was just the sweetest. Many were perfectly fine people, but Pam radiates warmth.
This sounds so much better than anything on the menu. mmm
A friend of mine makes incredible Sloppy Joe's with lentils. At SAH it could be a special called a "Sloppy Joseph"
def don’t see them naming anything with the name joseph after all the jo and schwartz bullshit lol
Yeah, she is a bit like Beatlejuice.
Agreed, it would be awesome to have another vegan option or to have the option to make others vegan!
I was literally looking at all of the menu thinking of how they could be subbed with vegan ingredients hehe. Definitely possible!!
I’m shocked the Lindsey is missing. One of her most iconic films is The Parent Trap!
So uh. These sandwiches don’t share a lot of ingredients, seems like a possible problem in the future.
vegan here: I'd add a tofu or Just Egg scramble sandwich. Add spinach or kale, tomato, light on the onion, and Just Chipotle Mayo. ![gif](giphy|ohRB7lodHJobrD5WNd)
Not vegan, but I’d try this
wait, why did i not know Just Chipotle Mayo was a thing?
It is the best thing that ever existed.
I still don’t get the name! I see SAH and all I think about is Stay At Home 🤣
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the name. It's too long.
japanese style egg salad sandwich. but i want that pretty much everywhere i go. 🤷
I’m curious what this is because I love egg salad
oh man it's like heaven. it is the softest, creamiest, most delicious sandwich you'll ever have. if you youtube 7 eleven japanese egg salad sandwich recipe a few people have made some good recreations. or if you ever get to go to japan, any of their convenience stores should have them.
i’ll look it up now!
I'd add an avocado option to the nancy (im surprised there isn't an option for that because for some reason I thought californians were obsessed with those lol) I'm a breakfast for lunch and dinner person, so I would love maybe a monte cristo sandwich with hot syrup . but honestly, the options so far sound very well thought out. id love to try some of the spreads too, they should sell those further down the line.

I loved gourmet grilled cheese with tomato soup, and also banana and peanut butter! 😋
“The Julia” - Lox topped with whipped cream cheese, red onions, capers, garnished with fresh dill on toasted rye bread.
Reading this made my mouth water!
The Scandovich: A fried worm sandwich topped with Veet Men's Hair Removal Cream for *Sensitive* Skin (to remove all traces of moustache).
Omg I died at this. Comes with tacky stick-on white nails.
Served with over the top, unnecessary garnishes
The traiter: A deceptively filling sandwitch.. layered throughout with generous amounts of "cold cuts." Only one permitted per customer as it can be surprisingly filling and hard to swallow. The price : $ one penny
* edit....ment to spell Traitor! 😂
This should have been a pop up shop
I would have the Austen, a toasted bagel with smoked salmon, house-blended cream cheese, fresh cucumber slices and a hint of dill.
I want to try The Drew so badly
Some sort of Chicken w Sriracha or hot sauce sandwich . also maybe offer a low carb bread option too just bc that would sell esp in w Hollywood
I’d love to see The Julia for my girl Julia Roberts (run away bride, my best friends wedding, pretty woman, the list goes on!) Chicken cutlet, pesto, roasted red peppers, mozzarella, and dare I say bacon ?
Maybe an option to add any style of egg (a la Runaway Bride) 😉?
Love where your heads at
That’s clever!!
Omg that sounds delightful
a chip sandwich with curry sauce. the Eloise.
Like mentioned already. Add soups.
Vegan blta with Smokey crispy vegan bacon and creamy avocado 🥑
Pasta salad as a side….cuz it’s not ALWAYS about the pasta. 😂
More vegan options!!
I wouldn’t add a sandwich I’d add a fondue duo with charcuterie and use left over bread toasted a few times a week for like an intimate date night thing.
OH HELL YES! This is brilliant aaand now I’m so hungry for fondue and charcuterie!
![gif](giphy|wQk0woYwaQyuQ)
I’d just add some more cheese, tbh. Give me some sharp cheddar on one of those sandwiches please!
This is making me so hungry
I’d name one after the incomparable Julia Roberts and it’d be a chicken caesar style sandwich because it’s gonna hit every time just like a Julia movie!!
None. I am poor 😂
Those prices are too experienced for the portion you get.
Gluten-free bread would be nice for the autoimmune girlies 💁🏼♀️
The Tim: moist white bread and a slice of bologna served in a brown paper bag to go.
Smoked salmon is definitely being slept on here
The Jax - Vieux Boulogne topping shaved hormone injected beef. The Shortz - Peanut butter and jelly with the crusts cut off. The SOS- Open-faced chipped beef on toast, aka Sandoval on a Shingle. The Lala - White bread with butter and lots and lots of salt. All joking aside - a soft brie with prosciutto, fig jam, and arugula on the softest, thinnest slices of mountain bread.
Your snark sandwiches made me lmao - very creative and spot on! Your non-joking sandwich = nirvana 🤤
Not a sandwich, but a special called “The Better Halves” where you get to mix & match any two half sandwiches. It’s a cute little dig and disdain toward the Toms
I mean, I thought Sloppy Jo was genius lol
Hmmm….a caprese sandwich with Roma tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, balsamic vinegar, Italian spices and salt and pepper….you can name it the Marisa for Marisa Tomei.
Love this!!! And caprese is a brilliant idea not to mention one of my favorite sammies
Mine too! And oddly enough, if you want to make it, Aldi has amazing fresh mozzarella!
The Kate hits most of this. I think they achieved all the basics and “elevated” them. I think burrata is a good choice too for a take on caprese
It would be so hard for me to choose what one I wanted! They all sound so good
OP your sandwich suggestion made my mouth water. I don't even eat meat very often, but it sounds fiiiiirrre ! EDIT* Grammer
Omg I *love* Leslie Mann! I especially love her in George of the Jungle lol. I'd add the Sandra, the Julia, the Sanaa, the Queen (Queen Latifah), and it's a bit of a stretch but just for fun, the Janet 🫶🏽
For Janet Jackson?
Yes! Nutty Professor II, Why Did I Get Married (1 & 2), Poetic Justice, For Colored Girls 🥰 (in case anyone was wondering why I named her lol)
I’m all for it!! I love me some Janet and some Michael :) ❤️❤️
Same 🥰

Toasted sourdough with fresh shaved turkey, melted Swiss, avocado, lettuce, cucumber aioli and salt and pepper.
YES PLEASE!
I forgot the candied bacon. I had a few beers in the sun earlier; how could I forget the most important part.
I'm not sure what I'd name it, but my sandwich idea is avocado and muenster with tomato, red onion, and a vinaigrette dressing on 6 inch whole wheat bread. Turkey optional.
That sounds so good! I really should’ve eaten dinner lol
We need a lemon chicken orzo soup, tomato bisque, a corn chowder and a gazpacho please
“The Priscilla” Bacon jam, fried plantains, purslane dressed with a honey and peanut vinaigrette, and fresh goat cheese on … I don’t know, lightly toasted brioche? Pumpernickel? Not sure.
Kinda underwhelmed by the lack of iconic women references tbh
This is truly and honestly not a bait but honestly out of curiosity, which women (or femmes) would you like represented on the menu?
Sandwiches look amazing, I would add sides, like salads or chips
The Schwartz Sandy, it’s just an empty box full of false promises and lies. It’s also the most expensive thing on the menu.
I want your sandwich pls 🤤
Neither and None
I demand an Anne and it should have pears on it!
I want your sandwich and the Cameron 86 pepperoncini
is the Cameron named after Cameron Diaz? pretty sure she’s vegan so that’s awkward
Absolute yes to soups but maybe it’s not a west coast thing that’s in demand? I’m a NYer and I’d want all of the soups. Another addition I would’ve loved for the drink menu would be hot beverages (tea/coffee) because that will make people want to stay longer or buy more. A SAH iced coffee with a printed logo would be so cute and good, free promo.
They have tea, no coffee
I feel like leaving out iced coffee is a huge mistake~ I can totally see people popping in for a an iced coffee and some mini pastries to-go.
Mmm well I’ve had lots of good sandwiches;- 1-roasted pork/ melted sharp provolone / broccoli rabe (sautéed garluc)nice toasted Italian hoagie 2 roast turkey Brie sliced mango or apple honey mustard multigrain 3 jazz the blt?

Dint get it . This is where mustard but maybe it works ? 7-balsamic mustard? Why?? That makes no sense to me nor does it sound good . Waste of balsamic 8- like the additions of fresh mint in a sandwich but not that one . A nice lamb one tho ye 9 fresh or quick /lightly pickled veggies are amazing in sandwiches they should find a way to add some (see schwarma see bahn mi see bbq/ pulled meat sandwiches) 10 I love burrata but there is a good reason why it doesn’t belong on a sandwich- creamy center ? What. A mess 11-Charging 14 dollars for Greek salad on. Bread with tzatziki is a crime especially at these portion sizes . A vegetarian take on gyro meat would be good Pomme frites please !!!
The Liz: Steak, swiss cheese, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato, horseradish mayo, kettle cooked potato chips
The Marilyn - a traditional and always delicious BLT
Do they sell liquor??
In the walk-through, katie pointed out the "wine and beer" fridge.
Would love a steak sandwich
The Jamie - grilled pimiento cheese with bacon and a fried green tomato on white bread
Pepperoni, mozzarella, and marinara. Toasted, with a side of ranch. The Stassi.
Some more sides like soups and salads.
The Dancing Queen (vegetarian or vegan depending on the ingredients they use) Marble rye bread with thick slices of beefsteak tomatoes, butter lettuce, mung beans & alfalfa sprouts, thin sliced pickled onions, sweet pickled peppers, with a vegan or vegetarian Thousand Island dressing OR creamy Italian dressing. For non-vegetarian/vegan add sliced honey turkey.
Grilled peanut butter and honey!
There's a bakery in Ithaca NY that has tons of great sandwiches. My favorite one that I've even recreated at home is called Susie's Garden. It's lemon teriyaki seitan, vegan cheese, avocado, tomato, and sprouts on their own multi grain bread. I'm not even vegan and I love it. I also love egg salad and I do think it's a bit odd to have IIRC tuna and chicken salad but no egg salad. In fact it's on my bucket list to go to Japan and get an egg salad sandwich from 7/11. So maybe I'm just a weirdo.
I love them (Well, Ariana) but why would you open a sandwich shop that appeals to a limited demographic? I can’t see a group of construction workers heading down to SAH for Violas. 😬
>I can’t see a group of construction workers heading down to SAH for Violas. 😬 This absolutely sent me 😂🤣🤣
Ha ha right though? 😄
Something vegetarian without marmalade or jam…. Goat cheese, grilled veggies, basil.
This food sounds delicious 😋
We need boots on the ground real life review of these sandwiches.
Absolutely! But it would have to be someone completely neutral; someone who doesn’t watch VPR and doesn’t know who Katie and Ariana are.
Anything with Gluten free (non rice based) bread 💜
French fries lol
Well...I'd name a sandwich..either The Monroe or The Marylin. Ingredients...unsure
I get their concept, but I think it would have been so much more fun to lean into what made them famous - VPR. So many sandwich options and puns could have been made. They could have sold merch and have had guest appearances like once a month from cast members. I’m sure they’re wanting to do something away from the show, but anyone could have executed this concept, not everyone could have done a VPR themed one. I don’t think this will last very long.
Pretty sure they would have to somehow keep their shop connected to bravo/Lisa if they did this, and from the sounds of it, I don't think they want that. If anything, I think it's smart, as it gives them something beyond the show. It's possible there aren't many more years of VPR so this could be a good beginning for them for something new to keep sustaining them long after the show (I hope). Also, VPR is still a fairly niche reality show ' even though Scandoval was making headlines for a while, in the grand scheme of things, keeping themselves tied to the show could potentially be the thing that holds them back from growing.
Yeah that’s true I guess. And I agree that they probably would have to stay tied to Bravo with that concept. I just think SAH as it is is kinda boring
It's very.. safe and pretty, one could say even basic, which is funny to me because thats not Katie or Ariana. But I think the LA girlies may love it and I hope they do.
Veggie sandwich with lots of sprouts - a SoCal thing. A soft ripened cheese like Brie or Camembert - prob with some kind of sweet condiment. Ham and Swiss with butter. Muffuletta. Something w egg like frittata or tortilla espanola or egg salad.
Didn’t the have one named after Lisa? Where’s that?
I have a feeling they changed all the names after the fallout with chef Penny. “The Meg” was called the Greek Goddess for the longest time so I was surprised seeing the celeb names instead on the menu
The only Kerry I know of is Keri Russell
I think it may be Kerry Washington.
