Evolving Restaurant Scene on ‘Vanderpump Rules’: An In-Depth Review
As the dynamic drama on Vanderpump Rules has unfolded, the restaurant landscape has equally shifted and transformed. Since its premiere on Bravo back in 2013, the show’s spotlight has been consistently directed at Lisa Vanderpump’s diverse array of business ventures, acting as a catalyst for some of the series’ most compelling narratives. The initial introduction of the cast revolved around their experiences, both high and low, while working at Vanderpump’s eclectic Los Angeles establishments, particularly the iconic SUR.
From humble beginnings as bartenders and waitstaff, the TV personalities underwent a metamorphosis over time. Yet, Vanderpump’s eateries often retained their prominent roles in the unfolding drama. Some cast members even embraced entrepreneurship, seeking guidance from the esteemed Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, as they embarked on their own business endeavors.
Nevertheless, the tumultuous twists and turns in the personal lives of the cast have occasionally reverberated into their professional endeavors. A prime example is the March 2023 revelation that Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix, who had been in a relationship for nearly a decade, had parted ways due to Sandoval’s involvement with fellow cast member Raquel Leviss. This scandal sent shockwaves through Sandoval’s career trajectory as well.
In the aftermath of this scandal, public sentiment took a toll on Schwartz & Sandy’s, a restaurant owned by Sandoval and his close friend and business partner Tom Schwartz, hailing from Missouri. Notably, the duo also founded TomTom, a venture they launched with the guidance and support of Vanderpump.
Conversely, Madix found herself on an upward professional trajectory as her sandwich shop, in collaboration with Katie Maloney, attracted heightened interest. The pair disclosed during the season 10 Vanderpump Rules reunion, which aired in May 2023, that their sandwich shop’s merchandise had garnered a staggering $200,000 in revenue. Fans rallied around Madix, coauthor of Fancy AF Cocktails, in the wake of the Sandoval and Leviss affair, resulting in a substantial show of support for her thriving business.
In the ever-shifting landscape of relationships and restaurants, Vanderpump Rules continues to be a captivating exploration of personal and professional growth, entwining the fates of its dynamic cast with the ebb and flow of the culinary scene.
