Reality TV star expanding her empire with Lake Tahoe restaurant

In the latest tasty tidbits from the food and drink front:

The restaurateur and reality TV star is opening Wolf by Vanderpump in Harveys casino at Lake Tahoe, featuring a wolf- and Tahoe-inspired look created with design partner Nick Alain, and a debut planned for this winter. That rules. La Lisa, of course, is already chatelaine of two Vegas spots: Vanderpump Cocktail Garden in Caesars Palace and Vanderpump à Paris in Paris Las Vegas.
