Hootie Hoo! ALDI Partners With Celebrity Chef And Popular Television Host Carla Hall

BATAVIA, Ill., Nov. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ALDI, one of America's favorite grocery stores*, today announced a partnership with chef, restaurateur and co-host of ABC's The Chew, Carla Hall. Bringing her signature flair and innovative twists on comfort food favorites, Hall is joining forces with ALDI to serve up recipes, cooking tips and videos that'll inspire at-home master chefs and kitchen newbies alike.

The partnership kicked off with a taste test: could Hall taste the difference between ALDI products in comparison to the national brands? Spoiler alert: she discovered what millions of ALDI customers already know – ALDI products taste the same, if not better, than the big brands, but cost up to 50 percent less**.

"ALDI is the best because they take the guess work out of grocery shopping. You know you're going to get quality, delicious products at amazing prices every time you shop there," said Carla Hall.  "I love the holidays, but I know how crazy expensive they can be. With ALDI, you can host a feast on a budget that will impress your family and friends."
