Carla Hall
Celebrity Chef, TV Personality, and Author

Carla Hall first won over audiences when she competed on Bravo’s Top Chef and Top Chef: All Stars and shared her philosophy to always cook with love. She is a trained chef who has worked in several professional restaurant kitchens in and around the Washington, D.C., area and believes food connects us all, which she strives to convey through her work, cooking, and in daily interactions with others.

Carla spent seven years co-hosting ABC’s Emmy award-winning, popular lifestyle series The Chew, and she is currently featured in Food Network shows, including Thanksgiving, Holiday, and Halloween Baking Championships as a judge and Worst Cooks in America. Her latest cookbook, Carla Hall’s Soul Food: Everyday and Celebration, was published in 2018, landing on annual “Best Cookbook” lists across the country and receiving an NAACP Image Awards nomination in the category of Literary Work – Instruction.

Hall published her debut picture book, Carla and the Christmas Cornbread, in November 2021 with Denene Millner Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing. Illustrated by Cherise Harris, Carla and the Christmas Cornbread is a heartwarming tale loosely based on Hall’s childhood growing up in Nashville, Tennessee, that celebrates family traditions, old and new, and includes a child-friendly Christmas cornbread recipe perfect for the holidays.
