Local cheftestant Carla Hall’s bid to be named Top Chef in the hit TV show’s fifth season came to an end late Wednesday evening. Despite a rally through recent challenges, Carla faltered and Hosea—unexpectedly but convincingly—edged out a snooty Stefan for the win. DCist joined Carla, several dozen of her closest culinary partners and friends, and several students from the CulinAerie cooking class she taught just prior to the finale's airing. Check out our gallery for the evening in photos and captions.

Carla Hall, the Howard accounting major turned model, turned chef, took a summer off from her Silver Spring catering company to compete as one of 17 cheftestants on season 5 of Bravo's popular Top Chef. Hall has made D.C. proud, cooking her way into the final three.

Tune in to Bravo tonight at 10 p.m. to cheer on local Top Chef cheftestant Carla Hall and her ridiculously awesome hair. The show's new season, which was filmed for the first time in New York, premieres tonight. And for those who can't get enough, Good Stuff Eatery's Spike Mendelsohn will be chatting about the premiere episode tomorrow on Washingtonian.com.

The next season of Top Chef, filmed this time in New York, is set to premiere on November 12, and this time we'll have a hometown girl to cheer for. Carla Hall is chef-owner of Alchemy Caterers, and got her schooling at Bethesda's L'Academie de Cuisine. Her bio states that her food is at the "heart and soul of the South and the refinement of her classic French training." Let's hope that she fares better than previous caterers, who in the past haven't demonstrated the chops for the fine dining challenges.
