Haute 5 Comfort Foods in LA: Slip Into Something A Little More…

by Nicole Campoy-Leffler

Sometimes sushi just doesn’t cut it. In the same way, vegan food doesn’t always suffice. At the end of a long day, are you really fantasizing about tucking into a steaming bowl of tempeh on brown rice? We didn’t think so. It takes a class of red wine (a heavy pour, please), some macaroni and cheese, maybe some red meat, or if you’ve got a sweet tooth – a cupcake or two.

Ford’s Filling Station

Okay. Let’s start with the flatbreads – that is, after you’ve ordered a martini with three olives. How does the Chanterelle Mushrooms with Fontina Cheese, Caramelized Onions, and Cavalo Nero sound? Like the worst part of the day is over. If it’s going to take a little more than that, their piece de resistance is a toss up: Pub Burger (an obvious choice) or the Pulled Pork Sandwich. Order the French fries. Culver City hasn’t seemed so homey in ages.

Ford’s Filling Station is located at 9531 Culver Blvd. in Culver City. (310) 202-1470
