Carla Hall worked as an accountant before realizing she needed a hard reset. So she packed her bags, moved to Paris and took up modeling. It was during her time overseas that Carla discovered her passion for food. She moved back to the states, went to culinary school and eventually ended up competing on "Top Chef" -- which helped catapult her to super-stardom. Now she's a co-host on ABC's "The Chew," has written multiple cookbooks and has even added restaurateur to her list of accomplishments. She's also recently partnered with ALDI.
