Elmer Dills L.A. Restaurant Critic, Dies at 82 – Los Angeles

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Longtime restaurant and travel critic for KABC TV and Radio dies at 82 in Pasadena, California where he resided for many years. Elmer and his wife Lynne loved to drink Champagne and in times past, he sometimes paid unofficial visits to my restaurant, Au Petit Cafe in Hollywood because he liked it, and he also reviewed it many times: http://www.au-petit-cafe-hollywood.com

It was not commonly known that Elmer Dills worked for the CIA for 20 years and when he could find time he was also an avid water-skier. His son Peter Dills has a website and a TV program on KJLA on Sunday evening at 8:00pm called “The Chef Knows” http://www.peterdills.com
