Cheeky Gourmet
It's something not seen in Culver City since John Wayne owned the Culver Hotel. A hip, young crowd gathered at a hip, new bar/restaurant called Ford's Filling Station. The small, crowded hang out offered us a table on the patio, but we chose to eat at the bar. Ford's is eponymously named after Harrison Ford's son, the chef and owner. The menu is big on beef, organic and Kobe. Which makes sense since the first Ford's Filling Station opened in Tulsa. My dining companion said he heard the organic beef hamburgers were fantastic. I thought that was what he ordered. I then ordered the flattened chicken.
I asked the bartender, how's the beef!?
Best thing on the menu.
Make it two, then.
But what we ordered wasn't the $14 hamburger but the $24 Kobe beef cheeks, the most expensive item on the menu as well. No turning back now, but I had to know which cheeks. I'm not sure which part of the anatomy would be more palatable.
The beef was like butter, falling away from itself like a soft string post roast a little bigger than a filet mignon.
Try the Kobe beef cheeks. Taste it for yourself and then decide if you'd like to know where it came from, or if you'd like to splurge on one of the best slices of meat you've ever had.
