Pero's Bar & Grill is a collaboration of two old college friends, Chandler Goff and Sammy Peroulas. Chandler and Sammy met at Emory University in Atlanta and have been friends ever since. After college, they each built their careers in the restaurant and hospitality business. In 2010 they combined their knowledge and culinary expertise and in 2011 opened Pero's on the Hill.

Sammy is a second-generation restauranteur. His father and uncles established several successful restaurants in the Knoxville area, including the original Pero's. It was in these restaurants where beloved family recipes such as spaghetti with meat sauce, pizza, and onion rings were created. Sammy is continuing the family tradition by preparing these, as well as other delicious dishes that continue to bring people back to Pero's Bar & Grill time and time again.

Chandler started his restaurant career at Mulligans in Atlanta, Georgia. Although Mulligans was mostly a live music venue and late-night watering hole, Chef Chandler added several unusual menu items, including the Luther Burger, a bacon cheeseburger, served on a toasted Krispy Kreme donut. The popularity of this unique burger landed Chandler on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 2004. After Mulligans, Chandler joined the Maggiano's restaurant group where he served as Regional Beverage Director and assisted in managing the opening of new restaurants all around the region. Chandler not only brought the famous Luther Burger to Pero's on the Hill, he creates new and exciting specials served nightly.
