Carla Hall’s Biggest Year Ever

 Carla Hall is a chef, restaurateur, author, and television host you may recognize from Bravo’s Top Chef, ABC’s Emmy Award-winning daytime show The Chew, or her many appearances on Food Network. These days, Carla is channeling her creativity into all kinds of new projects, including Bumblebirds, a Southern-inspired fried chicken restaurant in Washington, D.C. Carla is also preparing for the debut of her one-woman show, Please Underestimate Me, at the Olney Theatre in Maryland. The production is a deeply personal look at her life and career, inspired by her beloved grandmother, Freddie Mae Glover, and her lifelong dream of becoming a comedic performer like her idol, Carol Burnett. Sid also talks to Carla about her upcoming cookbook, Carla Bakes: Sweet, Savory, and from the Heart; her YouTube series, Chewed Up; and why the universe told her it was time to open another restaurant.
