"Anderson's Top Chef Challenge" competitor Fern created this dish because her grandson didn't like eating spinach. Sound familiar in relation to a particular talk show host? Well, after trying Fern's spinach bars for himself, Anderson said it, "I like these... I could eat these."

Below is the recipe for this savory dish. If you make it yourself, tweet to let the show know.
