At your standard American greasy spoon, the cursory effort to cater to vegetarians begins and ends with a soggy Gardenburger. But Hudson has successfully concocted a meat-free facsimile of the ultimate flesh-saturated dish. A Field Roast "cutlet" comes breaded and slathered with white mushroom gravy, nestled atop a big bed of homemade mashed potatoes. It's a meal that takes you back to a simpler time—you know, before you got old enough to figure out exactly what that hunk of tender, juicy protein your parents ordered was actually made of.—Sara Brickner
