Timeline

1964

Carla Hall (born May 12, 1964) is an American chef, television personality and former model.

She appeared in the fifth and eighth seasons of Top Chef, Bravo's cooking competition show.

1986

She graduated from Howard University's Business School with a degree in accounting in 1986.

She then worked at Price Waterhouse in Tampa, Florida, and became a Certified Public Accountant.

Hall hated her job and left after two years.

Hall then spent several years working as a model on the runways of Paris, Milan and London.

During this time, she decided to pursue a culinary career.

Upon returning to the United States, Hall moved to Washington, D.C. When Hall brought some leftover sandwiches to her friend's office, and the friend's coworkers all wanted her to come again, she decided to start a lunch delivery service called the Lunch Bunch.

After four years, she enrolled in L'Academie de Cuisine in Bethesda, Maryland, graduating with a Culinary Career Training certificate.

From here, she went on to serve an externship at the Henley Park Hotel, where she was then promoted to sous chef.

1999

By 1999, Hall was the executive chef at the Garden Cafe in the State Plaza Hotel, a sister hotel.

She then served as executive chef of the Washington Club, a private social club.

2001

In 2001, Hall started her own catering company, Alchemy Caterers, based in Wheaton, Maryland.

Hall remains in charge of the company, which she renamed Alchemy by Carla Hall.

Hall has written the cookbook Cooking with Love: Comfort Food that Hugs You.

2008

Hall's big break came in 2008, when she was selected to be a contestant on Top Chef: New York.

In the beginning, her dishes finished somewhere in the middle in most episodes, but she had the top-rated dish for the Thanksgiving challenge.

After Episode 10, she wowed the judges with her crawfish gumbo, going on to win Super Bowl XLIII tickets for this victory.

After this, she won two more challenges and was in the top for several others.

Most notably, she impressed Jacques Pépin, who said he could "die happy" after eating her fresh peas, and Emeril Lagasse, who said he loved her gumbo.

However, in the final challenge in New Orleans, she and Stefan Richter ended as runners-up to champion Hosea Rosenberg.

On the show, Hall gained popularity for her personality, although she did not win Fan Favorite in her season.

She became known for her call-and-response catch phrase "Hootie Hoo!", a tradition she and her husband had whenever trying to locate one another in public.

Hall also became known on Top Chef for her philosophy of "cooking with love", which she defined as putting one's own care and warmth into food.

She believes that if one is happy and calm while cooking, then this will show in the food, making it much better, whereas if one feels otherwise, it will degrade their cuisine.

For this reason, she says that, “If you’re not in a good mood, the only thing you should make is a reservation."

Hall was part of the cast of Top Chef: All-Stars, the eighth season of the show, which consisted of participants from past seasons.

She performed well in this season, which included demonstrating her chicken pot pie recipe on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Hall finished fifth overall in the competition, but was awarded "Fan Favorite" for the season by viewers of the show, which included beating out Fabio Viviani, who was voted Fan Favorite over Hall when they both appeared in Season 5.

2009

Hall appeared on the May 3, 2009, cover of the Washington Post Magazine, on a feature called "Fit for Fame", about still exercising while being famous.
