I've never eaten it either. I don't like spinach. It's considered a steakhouse/supper club classic. At those meals, I always get the hash browns.
When I do make spinach for her, it's always baby spinach. This was the first time I ever cooked mature spinach, so there was a lot of trimming and chopping going on. MrsT said that the mature spinach was much more flavorful.
I've never seen hash browns at a prime steakhouse. It is always mashed potatoes or some kind of gratin.
