I love a great chile relleno. Sadly, you get far more bad ones than good ones, so when you find a restaurant that makes a truly exceptional version, you owe it to the foodie world to spread the word, right?

The Blue Coyote Grill has been a must-stop for me for a number of years now. At one point it for their great tequilas too, but now I've pretty much given up on that, it's still worth a trip for the food.

The first time I ate there with Julie, we stumbled on their special version of the classic dish- a chile relleno wrapped in a tortilla and deep fried, as opposed to the traditional egg batter, which is where most rellenos typically fall flat. To see a well executed version of the traditional preparation, check out Chilebrown's version.

The place has a really cool vibe, give it a try if you're ever in Palm Springs!

Does that mean I can have the 1978 Kraft dinner now?

You've got a thing for that, don't you? Heh.

Just so you know, Chile, I'm taking it with me when I leave town. :)

Man, Chile. I don't think you're even going to get to see it.

Julie, Is there any chance you could change your plans about leaving town. Maybe Ms. Goofy and you could Mud Wrestle for the 1978 dinner box.

We COULD arrange that, I suppose.
But Chile, I'm from Indiana.
Which means it's called "rasslin'."
