Best Local Celebrity Dinner Companion

Chrys Peterson, WTOL 11 news anchor

Oh, you know you love her. She's been the face of local news for 17 years now, and some of us have spent more time with her in our living rooms than we have with much of our family. And she's done so much good work in the community, you know she'd have plenty to talk about, right?

She’s there serving up your latté or red-eye with a smile — even if you are a little grumpy in the AM.
