Peter Dills readily admits to being born into a world of food. The son of noted restaurant critic Elmer Dills, Peter and his family moved to Pasadena in 1970 from the “Crab Capitol of the World,” Baltimore.
      As far back as he can remember Peter was following his father from restaurant to restaurant, always tasting, always learning about food and always discovering new and exciting foods. He  became the host of the radio show "The Spice of Life Report" with Stephanie Edwards, who co-hosts with Bob Eubanks the highest rated Rose Parade coverage each year.  Peter has long been a major supporter of, and active participant in, the local restaurant community, and was the founder and host of several officially sanctioned chili cook-offs,  He’s developed not only a strong knowledge of food, but an extensive following in the process. In 1999-2000, he co-hosted “The Spice of Life Report”.  He’s served as producer and host of the popular TV show, “The Chef Knows With Peter Dills” since February 2004 and also hosts a weekly restaurant report spotlighting the latest
trends, “Southern California Living.” He explains his reasoning by stating, “We all have to eat and most of us eat out fairly often. So, why not eat well? I feel that it’s my job to tell diners about some of the places where they can indeed eat well.”
