Lime herb gluten steak, rosemary lemon roasted potatoes and Creamed Spinach

I made this while trying to impress a young lady. My best food generally comes from these situations.

I learned to make Gluten Steak when I used to work at Veggie Works in Belmar, NJ (it's now sort of Kaya's Kitchen but it's not nearly as good... or cheap). Mark Rasmussen ran Veggie Works for a few years before selling it to one of the head chefs Omar, who renamed it to Kaya's Kitchen and made some changes to the place.

Mark is currently running what I know of to be the first Vegan Gourmet prepared meals service which is called Veggie Brothers. I haven't tried it yet but it's gotta be amazing that guy was one of the best chefs I ever met, and he's been working on it since he sold Veggie Works in 2004. Plus, it's based at the Jersey Shore so it's clearly awesome.

The only recipe from this plate I'm posting is for the Creamed Spinach because everything else is easy and self explanatory.

Although I can't be sure it's safe to assume. J Mascis is a hero of mine and he should be one of yours too.
