Less than two weeks after Estilla's move back to New Orleans in 2015, her hankering for green chile grew too strong to ignore. So she bought 15 pounds of it from the grocery store (which apparently is an unusual thing to do in New Orleans) and brought it to Igor's Buddha Belly to roast since they had so generously offered use of their grill. Joby was there. Max (bartender and friend to both Joby and Estilla) gave Joby a little nudge. Joby hit on Estilla. Estilla was cool to the advances, but Joby bravely proved his worth by eating some hot green chile so Estilla figured she would give him a chance. Then Estilla and Joby cried together because they had both eaten eye-wateringly hot green chile. Theirs is a love built on green chile and beer.
