Scoring another win for the District, local chef Carla Hall won a fierce double elimination challenge on last night's episode of Top Chef All-Stars. In a fish-themed contest that sent Boston's Tiffani Faison and San Francisco's Jamie Lauren packing, Hall, who is the executive chef at Alchemy Caterers, whipped up a sumptuous bluefish lettuce wrap. At Judge's Table, hard-to-please head judge Tom Colicchio called the dish "brilliant", and Hall was awarded her second elimination challenge win of the season.
Over on Twitter, the always-gracious Hall thanked supporters and received a congratulatory tweet from D.C. buddy and fellow cheftestant Mike Isabella (as well as many fans who were giddily hashtagging her "hootie hoo" catchphrase.)
