Enigma wrapped in mystery, open to subjectivity
This article will serve as a chronicle of my attempts to secure a reservation, or indeed, any information about Ford's Filling station, the newest restaruant to generate a buzz in Culver City.
February 5 - Read a preview on Eating LA highlighting some of the fashionable finger foods and tasting menu. Pat works for a bona fide magazine, so her information about opening for March lunch is spectacularly more accurate than my assumptions.
February 14, 2006 - Opening Day, supposedly, but again, I am contradicted by the above article. My source was a Magic 8-Ball
February 15, 2006 - 9:00 - Attempted to find contact information, again, all roads lead back to Pat's article with a phone number.
10:00 - Beginning to doubt existence of Ford's Filling Station. Will verify later if the storefront is real.
10:30 - Reached a message that offered a nebulous greeting that hints at an opening day sometime in the indefinable future. It suggests reservations be faxed in, or I can email someone for further information.
11:00 - Firewall, starring Ben Ford's father, already released on DVD due to lagging Box Office draw.
Noon - Harrison rumored to be applying for sous chef position. Calista seen falling into a pasta roller with no effect.
12:30 - Called again, and now an actual recording has operation hours (Dinner only), and instructions on getting a reservation.
12:35 - Left message to please, please, please give us reservations for Friday night.
Will follow up with another dispatch on my success thereof.
