Hellmann’s Print


We did a number of campaigns for Hellmann’s. Some focused on increasing usage, others on improving the ingredients in their mayonnaise. They even thought of introducing a product that tasted more like Miracle Whip. Fortunately, they nixed that idea. Ewww. Miracle Whip isn’t good.

Her personality is exuberant, quirky and loveable - add that to her deft skills as a diverse chef to make for a winning combination.

"I believe that all of the emotions you are feeling when you're cooking food, especially when you share it with other people, go into the food. I really do call love the secret ingredient because if you're in a happy place — if you're happy about anything — it's not just cooking," - Carla Hall



Carla's TC Quickfire Challenge & Online Presence

Top Chef loves its product partnerships. Hellmann's is a perfect choice for one of the weekly QuickFire Challenges. "The Hellmann's Sandwich Lovers Challenge" would have Carla returning to judge a contest where the 'cheftestants' will use Hellmann's mayonnaise to create a new, innovative sandwich. This winning sandwich will be named and will have a place on the hellmanns.com/love site. It will include the recipe and a demo video with the winner and Carla.

Note: The Top Chef season runs through winter ending late February 2010. Challenge could be around Valentines Day.
Carla will also have a section at the website where she offers her recipes, tips, answers questions and has demo videos where she interacts with fans.
