Carla Hall, celebrity chef and co-host of “The Chew” on ABC, traveled to Italy and Spain to visit and cook with service members, military spouses and children on a recent USO tour overseas.
Hall, who many have been following since her memorable appearances on Bravo’s “Top Chef” and “Top Chef: All Stars” competitions, visited Aviano Air Base and Vicenza, Italy, before heading to Naval Station Rota in Spain. The four-time USO tour veteran and Nashville native led cooking workshops, signed autographs and connected with service members and their families during her five-day tour.
Hall’s husband, Matthew Lyons, is a lawyer and photographer who joined her on tour and took some great photos for the USO. Check out our gallery below.
