ATLANTIC CITY After a two-year wait, JFS has announced that television personality, chef and author Carla Hall will take center stage at its 27th annual Women's Forum being held 10:15 a.m. Thursday, June 9 at the Golden Nugget Atlantic City.
Hall is well-known as the former co-host of the Emmy Award winning foodie and lifestyle show, "The Chew." In addition, she has competed on Bravo's "Top Chef" and "Top Chef: All Stars," and served as a judge on the Food Network's "Halloween Baking Championship." Hall believes food connects us all and strives to communicate this through cooking, work and daily interactions.
At the event, guests will enjoy a delicious luncheon and have an opportunity to win dozens of incredible prizes, including restaurant gift certificates, spa packages, jewelry, wine baskets and more during the silent auction.
As a published author, Hall has written three cookbooks, "Cooking with Love: Comfort Food That Hugs You," "Comfort Food: Favorite Dishes from Around the World," and "Soul Food: Everyday and Celebration," which landed on the best cookbook list and earned her an NAACP Image Award nomination. A trained chef, Hall taught classes at CulinAerie and her alma mater, L'Academie de Cuisine. For more than 20 years, she has also owned a catering company, Alchemy by Carla Hall.
Hall is active in several charities and non-profit organizations including Helen Keller International and the Smithsonian National Museum for African American History and Culture where she serves as a culinary ambassador for Sweet Home Café.
After postponing the event due to COVID, the Women's Forum provides an opportunity for our distinguished speaker to share her life story and career accomplishments. We're thrilled to spend an afternoon with Carla to hear how her energy, resilience and creativeness blended to shape the business conglomerate and community advocate she is today, said event Co-chair Brett Matik.
Tickets are $125 per person before May 15, $150 after May 15, and may be purchased online at www.facebook.com/thewomensforum. Proceeds benefit the Greater Atlantic City charities.
The Women's Forum is made possible with the support of its generous sponsors - AtlantiCare, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Walmart, Harrison Beverage, Harrison Family Foundation, Integrous Financial Strategies, and Law Offices of Melissa Rosenblum, LLC.
