Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney might be known for their big personalities (and even bigger drama) on Vanderpump Rules, but the dynamic duo also has a passion for food and wine that they'll soon put to good use at Something About Her, their new West Hollywood sandwich shop.

Although the restaurant, which is described as "unapologetically feminine and undeniably delicious," has yet to open, the more than 385,000 Instagram followers suggest that fans are excited to see what the pair is cooking up.

At BravoCon this past weekend, Madix and Maloney teamed up with Lay's for a "Something About Her" pop-up featuring Lay's iconic Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup chips in limited-edition Something About Her-inspired packaging. Fans who shopped by were able to try an array of cocktails and small bites featuring the chips, including a sangria with a crushed Lay's rim and chocolate chip cookies dusted with the chips.

Before Madix and Maloney jetted off to Vegas, we chatted about the upcoming pop-up and their favorite sandwich-and-chip pairings. Maloney is a big salt and vinegar chip girl; Madix likes a classic potato chip on a pbj.

The chip chat naturally led to a discussion of wine and chip pairings, which also happens to be the perfect snack for watching Vanderpump Rules. Here are the three combos Madix and Maloney put together.

1. Sour cream and onion + Chardonnay 
The creamy and slightly pungent chips are a good foil for Chardonnay, whether you prefer a drier citrusy Chard or a buttery oaky bottle. 

2. Barbecue chips + Cabernet
The dark fruity flavor of the Cab is a good match for the smoky-sweet chips. 

3. Potato chips with caviar + sparkling wine
A classic high-low pairing that makes a fun holiday appetizer, or a super luxe couch snack.
