Kaldi's Social House: A New Chapter In The Coffee Legend From Founder Tsega Haile - Sprudge
Kaldi's Social House: A New Chapter In The Coffee Legend From Founder Tsega Haile.
After immigrating from Ethiopia in 2008, Haile began to feel that there was a place for a coffeehouse that emphasized a social experience and was influenced by his Ethiopian roots. After opening Kaldi’s Coffee and becoming popular with the local residents, he soon found that there was room to keep his shop growing. The space has been expanded and renovated several times and has evolved into its current state as a daytime cafe and nighttime bar (follow them on Instagram for COVID updates). With a solid staff to hold down the fort in Silver Spring, Haile set his sights on opening a sister social house in Arlington, Virginia.
Kaldi's Social House Silver Spring
Entering the glass doors of the white brick building you are greeted by a warm and incredibly spacious cafe. Brick walls are painted gray and adorned with illustrations of coffee cups and wine glasses—this is a true day-to-night gathering space. The story of Kaldi and coffee in Ethiopia takes up a prominent space on one wall. In the center of the cafe sits a long coffee counter which divides the coffeehouse.
Kaldi’s Social House
It feels like one spacious living room, with a long coffee bar in the center of the space like a hearth. Was reminded of my old review and had to revise it, since this place turned from a chill coffee house to a loud unpleasant quasi-dance club. The coffee, tea and food and food are still great but it’s not a nice place to hang out anymore. Kaldi’s Social House is a business with an emphasis on being welcoming, and a determination to build and support community.
Behind the counter sits both a La Marzocco Strada MP and a Modbar AV system for pulling espresso. Coffee is ground on both a Nuova Simonelli Mythos and Mazzer Robur E grinders. As a small business owner, I knew that customer service requires a genuine connection between my co-workers and customers, so I invest in both sides. I takes my time to personally train and empower them so that the people who make the coffee are just as happy as those who order it. For me, this is not just an investment in the future of the coffee shop, but an investment in the community. Since opening in 2014, the staff has grown from four to over 30, and the store has expanded to more than double its original café space.

When the customer comes in, I don’t want them to think about getting coffee, but to think they are supporting the community…I want to be welcoming – I want to create relationships with customers. After months of preparation, Kaldi’s Social House opened in 2014. Located just off Georgia Avenue, Kaldi’s has large windows, with a glass door Inside, the lighting is muted, and the concrete floors are complimented by oversized leather chairs and wooden tables.

Garden setting with twinkly lights, plants and greenery. I first came across Cali Love Pie on Tiffany Hinton Jefferson‘s @blackownedfoodla Instagram account. The shop, located at the corner of Western Avenue and Venice Boulevard, celebrated its one-year anniversary on April 20. The pops of sesame dominate, anchoring the sweetness of the buttercream with an intense nuttiness that provides depth and a welcome bitterness.

As food lovers and number crunchers, we’ve decided that cooking on a budget shouldn’t mean canned beans and ramen noodles night after night. Join us for delicious recipes designed for small budgets. Cover the pot with a lid and bring the pot to a low boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low and let the meatballs simmer for minutes. Divide and shape the meat mixture into 24 meatballs, about two tablespoons each. When the vegetables are tender, the albóndigas are gently poached in the broth for just a few minutes, bringing all of their flavor to the soup.
It’s just a short drive from Denver—and an even shorter drive to the slopes.
City officials are “not aware of any members of Camp Resolution moving into housing” except Porter and her mother, according to city spokesperson Tim Swanson. At least six residents found permanent housing working with organizations on their own. While nonprofits who operate traditional safe camping or shelter sites tend to impose curfews and other rules, Camp Resolution is self-governing; a council of residents sets the rules. Mark Merin, a civil rights lawyer and chairman of the board for Safe Ground Sacramento, said the goal of the camp is to be “a portal to housing,” not a long-term safe parking site. I’ve yet to try the banana pudding cheesecake, but I’m not sure anything will sway my obsession away from the cobbler.

She says it’s great on pasta or anything else you’d use with pesto. It’s also how I come across recipes I wouldn’t have thought to put into a search field. Along the Mexican coast, you can find brighter variations of meatballs made with ground fish and shrimp that shatter your expectations of what albóndigas can be.

Here are some commonly asked questions about our fully cooked frozen meatball products. We also have a main FAQ page which covers general questions about all of our products. If your own question isn’t covered in our most commonly asked questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch. The original idea behind eating cake in your car was to lessen the stress and anxiety brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Wong. In the spring of 2020, Wong launched a pop-up bakery called Flouring L.A.
Porcupine Meatballs
Swirled around the fruit and throughout the cake is a caramel-colored ribbon of what tastes like cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar. The graham cracker crust is fine and packed tightly with enough butter to signal true decadence. The top is blanketed in a coat of sweet cookie crumbles.

During the pandemic, she would hand over her desserts to customers waiting in their cars. In January, she opened her first bricks-and-mortar location, a 500-square-foot bakery and shop on Hill Street. Manna Mediterranean Grill is owned by Palestinian Amjad Manna and his wife Kristi Manna.
Because she “needed to bake to fill my soul.” It also felt like the natural next step after working in various restaurant kitchens including Bottega Louie and creating dessert content for her personal baking blog. At one point, she went by the name Scootabaker and delivered her desserts via a 2007 Vespa LX 150 with spring-loaded racks. In a small bowl, stir together 2 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper.
The real star is the sesame butter, slipping in a satisfying crunch between the luxurious buttercream and spongy cake. Have you seen the ‘flat croissants’ all over social media? Where to find them — if you think they’re worth trying.
“Meatballs don’t always have to be meat,” writes Paola Briseño-Gonzalez in her latest story for L.A. Then she gives us a recipe she developed for brothy shrimp meatballs with Sungold tomatoes. Combine the shrimp mixture with the remaining chopped shrimp, cilantro, panko, ¾ teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Mix with a silicone spatula until well combined; the mixture will feel a little sticky and wet. Using a medium ice cream scooper or a quarter-cup measuring cup, shape into 16 to 18 meatballs, about the size of a lime, with your hands.
Wong soaks the cake in a passion fruit syrup, then adds as much of the same syrup to the Italian buttercream as possible before it breaks. I’m convinced that if more people embraced car cake, road rage would decrease by at least 58%. I’d be more open to dating someone who lives on the other side of the 405 Freeway. One could potentially enjoy any slice of cake in the car, but what I’m referring to specifically are the cake bars from Heather Wong’s Flouring L.A. They’re petite rectangles of layered cake nestled into sleeves of white parchment paper that protect your fingers.
The counts that are stated on the bags are approximate. County D.A. Thien Ho has alleged the city is allowing Camp Resolution residents to live “on a toxic dumpsite” and suggested the city could be held criminally liable if it did not relocate the camp. “These people are guaranteed housing and the city is nowhere to be found,” Crystal Sanchez, Western regional director for the National Union of the Homeless, said.
Our Cooked Perfect meatballs can be kept refrigerated for up to 14 days without any concern of spoilage. Freezer Burn can occur when a package is not sealed properly and the cold, dry air of the freezer draws the moisture from the meat. Freezer Burn also occurs when product is not kept frozen and condensation forms inside the bag. This is a common occurrence when frozen foods are thawed and then refrozen.
Lean ground beef to a large bowl along with the rice, 1/2 finely diced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 egg, and the seasoning mixture. Use your hands to mix everything together until evenly combined. Try not to overmix as this can make the meatballs tough. These meatballs are tender, fluffy and bouncy, made with shrimp instead of meat, inspired by bright variations found in coastal Mexico. The albóndigas de camarón are gently poached in a broth made with tangy Sungold tomatoes and a handful of chopped cilantro for its fresh herbal flavor. Ladle the brothy shrimp meatballs into bowls and serve with sliced cabbage, cilantro, red onion and limes.
Wong’s black sesame cake bar may be my single favorite slice of cake in all of Los Angeles at the moment. It starts with a rich butter cake flecked with enough roasted black sesame seeds to turn the batter gray. She spreads a generous amount of Rooted Fare black sesame crunch butter over the cake, then adds an Italian buttercream frosting infused with ground roasted sesame seeds. Next is another layer of cake, and another of the frosting.
I should note that Wong utilizes the ideal ratio of about a quarter inch of frosting to an inch of cake. Too much frosting bothers me, probably more than it should. There will be no frosting scraping with your car cake. There’s no missing the passion fruit in Wong’s version. The fruit is brilliant and sharp, flooding your mouth with the tart, complex taste of pure passion fruit.

Residents get necessities and housing opportunities from community members and organizations, not the city. Supporters have trucked in water, porta-potties and a generator. She and her husband stayed in a hotel until they ran out of money then set up camp at a nearby levee, joining an already existing encampment. That brought additional challenges in getting Porter safely moved when rainy weather brought dangerous floods. Eventually they made their way to a vacant lot on Colfax Street as part of a women-led community. Currently the team offers 150 to 200 pastries each day, made from two rounds of baking, one at 6 a.m.

Is Eagle Rock’s new pâtisserie serving L.A.’s most sought-after croissants?
Still cookbook crazy in a digital world, plus the Koreatown bakery where fans wait up to two hours for cake, a new croissant contender, new brunch and lunch picks, and why a vegan restaurant will start serving meat. Chef and farmer Mollie Engelhart, after specializing in serving vegan food at her Sage Vegan Bistro locations, made the risky decision to change the orientation of her restaurants in the name of regenerative agriculture. As Stephanie Breijo reported this week, she is renaming her restaurants Sage Regenerative Kitchen & Brewery and will add some meat dishes to the menu from animals raised using regenerative farming practices. You can store any leftover cooked meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply microwave for about 2 minutes, or until heated through.

How to Make Porcupine Meatballs – Step by Step Photos
Place them on a medium baking sheet, and place in the fridge to firm up for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large stockpot over medium low. Add onion and ½ teaspoon salt; cook until softened, stirring often so the onion doesn’t brown, 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant and softened, 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until slightly darkened in color, 2 minutes.
Top with cabbage, cilantro, onions and a squeeze of lime. Then make some guacamole on the side with warm corn tortillas for dunking into the broth. Inspired by these sublime coastal takes, I make a version that turns albóndigas into a weeknight dinner, and it takes less than one hour to make. Some of the shrimp is finely chipped into a paste with onion and garlic to act as a binder when mixed with big chunks of shrimp, offering a range of bouncy, fluffy and tender textures.

He then sears them until golden brown in spots and serves them over a velvety romesco made with dried chiles. They’re drizzled with a variation of a salsa macha called salsa mulata, where the chiles and nuts are finely ground with tiny dried shrimp, adding a layer of intense umami to the dish. Gus’s is an approachable neighborhood steakhouse serving dishes that can border on enthralling, including hash browns with trout roe and chicken a la plancha.

I skipped browning the meatballs and poached them instead in a broth of Sungold tomatoes. It’s not quite peak tomato season, but Sungolds and cherry tomatoes are there for you with their reliable concentrated flavor that some of the big tomatoes are still lacking this early in the season. Ladle three or four albóndigas and broth into each of four to six shallow bowls. Top with cabbage, cilantro and onion; serve with lime wedges on the side. You can make the albóndigas ahead and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours. The microwave instructions on the back of the package are for the stated specific number of meatballs and may vary depending on meatball variety and size.
Keftedes are Greek meatballs, sometimes made with a mixture of chickpeas and sardines. For our vegetarian version, we substitute the sardines with feta cheese, which gives the keftedes a deeply savory note while keeping them meat-free. Based on the chickpea and sardine keftedes from “Smashing Plates” by London chef Maria Elia, this version is just as flavorful. In this recipe from “Tuesday Nights Mediterranean,” which features weeknight-friendly meals from the region, we flatten portions of the chickpea mixture into patties directly in the skillet, instead of shaping them into balls. This creates more surface area for browning and speeds the cooking. To begin, we whisk an egg with paprika, cinnamon, cumin, salt and pepper, then add the chickpeas, mashing them with a potato masher until they are broken down but not completely smooth.
There is plenty of cilantro in the mixture for fresh, herby flavors. To give the meal a bit of flavour, Jim garnished it with hot chili sauce and peas and enjoyed the whole portion with cheese and rice.

Storage, she said, has been an issue in keeping up with demand but as Fondry scales up, she also hopes to increase days of operation — meaning more croissants, more chances to enjoy them, and maybe fewer lines around the block.

— restaurants selling foods from Chicago have multiplied in recent years. Bobbi’s, a small restaurant with a retro vibe, specializes in wet, gravy-soaked Italian beef sandwiches served with sweet peppers or hot pickled vegetables. The large menu has all sorts of other dishes, too, like Italian sausages, Chicago-style hot dogs, and personal pan pizzas.
You may be wondering if you have to cook the rice first before adding it to the meatballs. Cooking the rice first just adds an extra step to the process, and I didn’t find it necessary. Using uncooked rice allows the rice to cook at the same time as the meatballs and soak up all the seasoning and flavors from the dish. In Playas de Tijuana, where the border wall delineates the westernmost borough of Tijuana from Imperial Beach and San Diego, you can find a puesto dedicated to shrimp meatballs. At Albóndigas de Camarón Las Originales, chef and owner Miguelina Carrillo, originally from Sinaloa, serves her shrimp meatballs in broth or crisped up on the plancha with melted cheese stuffed into tortillas.
The reality television personality also spoke candidly to Us about her 15-year age difference with the Irish-American comedian. While the newlyweds chose not to have any bridesmaids or groomsmen for their ceremony, Berner hosted a wild Miami bachelorette party with Miller, 26, and DeSorbo, 29, and other friends one month ago. It's been awhile since Summer House fans have seen Hannah Berner, but it turns out that the alum is truly thriving in both her career and personal life — both of which still include her bestie and current Hamptons housemate, Paige DeSorbo. Hannah Berner admits that getting married had a “weird” effect on her day-to-day life. Today she's married to Tomasz Hunka, who works in the private jet industry.

I think there’s been a missing place for a fun comedy podcast of girls our age. Women put so much pressure on ourselves all the time—we need some light comedy. While there, they enjoy an exclusive, high-end lifestyle that allows them to let loose. “Booze-filled brunches, charity galas, bonfires and of course, drama-filled romances are on the docket for the young professionals in their summer playground,” according to a description on FuboTV. Sitting on a Zoom with Hannah Berner and Paige DeSorbo, I have to keep reminding myself that this is meant to be an active, three-way conversation, that I’m not just listening.

While he wasn't on our TV screens full-time for long, he still has a special relationship with the camera, working as a writer and director under his own company, Leoni Pictures.

The Hannas asked Frank Lloyd Wright to design an inexpensive house for their growing family. His solution was a glass-fronted collection of hexagon-shaped spaces surrounding a brick chimney. The Hannas thought it would cost about $15,000, but ended up instead with a price tag of $37,000. Abandoning for the first time the square or rectangle in favor of the hexagon for the grid and plan, Wright found a new freedom and flexibility in the Hanna House. Walls joined at 120-degree obtuse angles create an interior of fluid space and unrestricted views. The house grew through successive additions to encompass 4,825 square feet.
Hannah Berner married fiancé Des Bishop in a beautiful ceremony in the Hamptons on Friday, May 13. The Summer House alum celebrated the special day alongside close friends and family, including some familiar faces. But that’s not the real concern of the fight, which is actually about Paige being mad at Danielle for saying that she gives Craig nothing.
Both Hannah and Paige joined the cast of Summer House together during season 3, which aired in 2019. After a tumultuous season 5, which consisted of fighting with Amanda, 30, and Kyle, 39, regularly, Hannah opted to focus on her comedy career and her upcoming wedding with fiancé Des Bishop. "I was very against dating comics just for loads of reasons, like professionally, don't mix business with pleasure, all that type of stuff," Des explained.
Plenty of her former coworkers showed up at the event to cheer the happy couple on. The Hanna house on Stanford’s campus is also known as the “Honeycomb House” — this because its design was based on the hexagonal geometric figure (the honeycomb) produced by bees. It was Wright’s first non-rectangular design and… it drove the construction crews absolutely nuts. Ninety-degree angles were one thing, but in 1937 — the year the house was begun — no one seemed to be able to wrap their heads around the one hundred twenty-degree angles upon which the whole structure (and everything inside — including the furniture) is based. But the beauty of the hexagonal geometry in a seemingly un-geometric structure is simple and breathtaking. Apparently not originally installed correctly, it — like many of Wright’s roofs — leaked profusely.
And while we’re giving Amanda her flowers, I will agree that she’s great on the show for someone who got on it only because she was dating Kyle, not because she really wanted to be there. In her eight seasons, she’s rage texted her partner in the middle of the night, she consoled every crying woman in the house including her archnemesis Lindsay, and is the only bridge between the many disparate factions. The show could go on without Amanda, but it wouldn’t be as good or nearly as peaceful.
It's obvious Hannah has found her funny again after a pretty unfunny end to her time on Summer House. The season 5 reunion capped off in May with nearly everyone on the cast -- save for Paige DeSorbo and Ciara Miller -- at odds with the Berning in Hell host. The newlyweds began their relationship in the summer of 2020, right around when Berner began filming season 5 of Summer House. Hannah married fellow comedian Des Bishop in May 2022 after two years of dating. Berner joined the series in season 3 and left after season 5 — just as she and Bishop's relationship was beginning.
Remember when she wrote off that hottie on the beach because he was a Cancer and then she was kinda mean about it? But, unlike Danielle, I don’t think her lack of game is a problem. Danielle wants her to go out there, get up in guys’ faces, and take what she wants out of them. While that is a strategy that obviously works quite well for Danielle, it is not for everyone. Gabby is a slower burn, and even if she just wants to hook up with a guy, she needs to know him and like him. The podcast co-hosts, who just announced a 28-stop live tour, dig into exactly why the show works as well as it does (it's science, sort of), their favorite interactions with "Gigglers" in the wild, and the only thing they fight about on the road.
The couple celebrated their nuptials with a beachfront ceremony in the Hamptons, where they were joined by friends, family, and other Bravolebrities. Attendees included Summer House castmates Paige DeSorbo and Ciara Miller, as well as Southern Charm’s Craig Conover, Vanderpump Rules’ Scheana Shay, and Shahs of Sunset’s Mercedes “MJ” Javid. She's now moving on from reality TV to spend this summer on tour as a standup comic instead. "Making people laugh is what brings me joy," she said, noting that she'll soon be "telling fart jokes at comedy clubs and theaters near you."
"In the dramatic conclusion of the Summer House reunion," Bravo teased, "Luke accuses Hannah of turning the house against him, while Paige is caught in the middle of Hannah and Amanda's fractured friendship." Hannah Berner is bidding adieu to the summer house after a rocky season. Before dating Bishop, Berner had an on-off relationship with Luke Gulbranson, whom she met during season 4 of the Bravo series. After hooking up during the 2019 season, Berner and Gulbranson butted heads over their status.
The pair of besties have been giggling in my AirPods every week since January, when two separate friends and one cousin all texted me within a few days of each other to say that I absolutely had to listen to the Giggly Squad podcast. Brooklyn native Hannah Berner is a witty comedian, co-host of Bravo’s “Chat Room” and host of the hit podcast “Berning in Hell” where she interviews fellow comedians, reality stars, and entrepreneurs about their personal demons and insecurities. She also co-hosts the new podcast, “Giggly Squad,” with fellow roommate and best friend, Paige DeSorbo. Hannah approaches life with a fearless free-spirit and honest attitude. Coming in hot this summer, Hannah is ready to let loose and face her past with fellow roommate Luke after quarantining for months with her parents and five cats. "I’ve welcomed new career ventures, challenges and obstacles, and opportunities for growth," she continued, before sharing the news.

The Summer House alum wed Irish comedian Des Bishop in an intimate afternoon ceremony at Westhampton Beach attended by close family and friends.

Hannah told the outlet that her and Des’ relationship is full of laughter, which has proved to keep them quite happy during their first year of marriage.

Paige tells Danielle that she made Gabby cry, and Danielle says, “That’s stupid.” Paige tells Danielle that she’s the moral compass, and if people don’t agree, then she gets mad about it. She’s using Gabby as an example, but that’s only because she wants to keep her one-legged silver jumper and reputation clean. Berner's departure comes as people began calling her out for allegedly stealing jokes from other comedians during her standup, as well as making insensitive comments about mental health. She also faced a rough Summer House season 5 after her co-stars repeatedly called out her authenticity. A season 6 has yet to be officially picked up, but it's safe to say it could return next summer. Berner, who got engaged to boyfriend Des Bishop in March, concluded by saying "making people laugh is what brings me joy" before announcing her summer standup tour.

She did have an overly complicated costume to prepare for, so I will let this one slide. Also, she was in said room snuggling with West, and I think a snuggly West can erase most ills from the world. Hannah Berner, who recently announced her engagement to comedian Des Bishop, appears to be at the center of much of the drama. "People change and people grow, and it's partying every weekend," she said about the mood of the series. "That's not what I'm up to right now. It was a dream to be able to do that and to make people happy, even when I wasn't always happy."

Wright had become interested in designing elegant and affordable homes for the American middle class to create a more harmonious, enlightened society. Hannah and Des shared their engagement news back in March of 2021. And Hannah confirmed she was stepping away from Summer House back in May 2021. At the time, she noted that she was looking forward to focusing on her comedy. In a previous WWHL appearance, along with Paige DeSorbo, Ciara and her pal opened up about keeping in touch with Hannah, who they revealed at the time was keeping busy with her comedy career and planning her upcoming wedding to Des. The Summer House cast member appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Monday (January 24) and shared an update on Hannah's relationship with fiancé Des Bishop that seemed to shoot down any speculation that may be floating around out there.
Berner, 30, and Bishop, 45, announced their engagement with PEOPLE exclusively in March 2021. Both bride and groom looked "so in love and so happy" as they exchanged wedding vows and kisses in the ceremony, a source on the scene tells PEOPLE. According to an April 2024 Instagram post, Goldie loves "posing in her outfits" as much as her fashionable mama. Now she runs a podcast, CoDependents, with Ciara Miller, and shares plenty of food inspiration on her personal Instagram page.
But despite her increasingly busy work schedule, Hannah said her life has generally become much calmer over the past year, thanks, in large part, to her relationship with Des. Giggly Squad snuck in in a weird way, because we started as a TV and film podcast. And then we were like, we’re a fucking—sorry—we’re a comedy podcast. So we moved our pod to the comedy charts instead of TV and film, and that’s when it really started to take off. People were relating to our sense of humor because we were being ourselves.

The happy couple had their first dance to Alicia Keys 2003 hit, "If I Ain't Got You." She wore a white gown with spaghetti straps, a sweetheart neckline, lace bodice, and floor-length white skirt and train — detailed with buttons down the back. She accessorized the look with white drop earrings, white shoes, and a simple veil. It was just one of four outfits Berner planned for the wedding weekend, which were styled by Britt Theodora, who counts Saturday Night Live's Pete Davidson among her celebrity clients.
It is owned by Stanford University, which completed a restoration of the house in 2000. The Hannas lived in the house until giving it to Stanford in 1975. It housed four university provosts until suffering severe damage in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. It underwent complex restoration, made complicated by its unique design, and reopened to the public in 1999. Lou is unrelenting with the hard truths, and I think he is the unsung hero of this whole saga.
It served as the provost's home until the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake severely damaged it and subsequently closed for almost a decade for a seismic retrofit. In the WWHL clip, above, Amanda Batula reflected on her past relationship ups and downs with Hannah, and from there, Hannah and Des' relationship came up. "I guess there were some rumors recently that she and her guy broke up," Andy Cohen said, to which Ciara responded, "Yeah, but that was weird. They're not. I just got the wedding invitation." A new episode of season 8 of “Summer House” will air on Bravo at 9 p.m.
Earlier this month, Hannah apologized for making controversial comments about mental health two years ago on her podcast, which was brought up during the reunion. She joined Summer House in 2019 for season three and most recently appeared in season five's reunion episode, with part two out on May 6. As ScreenRant noted, Hannah made an enemy out of most cast members and became "the de facto villain" of the fifth season.
"As we climb out of the emotional trenches of 2020, I look forward to an exciting summer, but with mixed emotions I’m announcing I won’t be spending it living in the summer house." After the alien party, Kyle and Carl clean up, and Carl talks about his conversation with Lindsay the night before. He gets where she’s coming from, wanting him to be a bit more employed, but he’s saying just what many in the comments section said last week; it’s not like Lindsay has much more of a job. I liked that Carl put some numbers to show how much they’re making being “influencers.” Lindsay pulled down $150,000 the year before in paid post, and Carl netted $70,000 mostly because he’s a dude and has fewer followers (but not by a ton). I would guess they’re also both making around $200,000-$300,000 a season on the show. In fact, it is far more than the average American makes (though the average American is not paying New York City rent or has Carl’s tight-pants budget).
(I am only doing this to give her enough confidence to leave her husband so that I can have him.) The girls are right; Amanda needs to try something on her own without Kyle. "This past year has been one of the most important in my life for self reflection, love, and learning a lot of s--t," she wrote on Instagram. "As we climb out of the emotional trenches of 2020, I look forward to an exciting summer, but with mixed emotions I'm announcing I won't be spending it living in the summer house." During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, the Summer House alum opened up about her relationship with Des Bishop, a fellow comedian she married in spring 2022. Hannah told the outlet her husband is “really supportive” of her stand-up comedy/podcasting career, which requires her to constantly travel.
In 2019, she welcomed her first child, Dean, and little brother Cole joined the family in March 2022. Paul and Jean Hanna had their focus squarely on family and on their children; Wright designed the house to change according to the growth of the Hanna children. As one of many examples, a room that was originally designed as a children’s playroom was later converted to a formal dining room once the family’s needs changed. From the moment I first turned the corner and saw the sprawling, reddish house up on the hillside, there was no doubt it could only have been designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The attention to detail, as in all of Wright’s structures, is phenomenal.
In Season 4, Hannah, now a veteran on Summer House, navigated a flirtatious relationship with new addition Luke Gulbranson. The two left the house with plans to hang out in Luke's home state of Minnesota, but their "situationship" became complicated going into Season 5. Co-star Ciara Miller commented on the post, simply writing, "I love you." "We didn't decide we needed to spend more time with each other," he says. Des quickly crashes the video chat from the other room, though, to explain the real impetus for pushing the big day was their original venue falling through. The wedding turned out to be quite the Bravo affair, with Berner's Summer House co-stars Ciara Miller and Paige DeSorbo in attendance as well as Vanderpump Rules' Raquel Leviss, Scheana Shay and her fiancé Brock Davies.

Bauermeister was already in the market for a new home for her family when she came across her project, a 1909 American Foursquare, while on the way home from another viewing.
