by Judy Chamberlain photos by Robert Bostick
Carla Hall is the new Martha Stewart. The Top Chef All Star and co-host of ABC’s wildly successful The Chew, has been – like Stewart – a model and finance professional. Stewart was a stockbroker; Hall was an accountant. Both traded careers in business for food and media situations. As beautiful inside as she is to look at, Hall takes America’s love affair with food and chefs over the top. Continue reading

I always smile and simply tell them that I worked in hospitality. Continue reading
