Since 2008 I have been loving Culver City. Culver City was once a quaint little town that my cousin and I would walk 5 miles to go see a movie. We loved going to the theatre in Culver City because it was quiet and we didn't have to come home as early. We loved walking for miles and talking and having fun. I could honestly say that Culver City was one of those places that brings back special childhood memories.
Yesterday I didn't want to eat near my home and was looking for something different. I kept saying, "I want to eat at a Gastropub". Yes, it the new "thing" here in Los Angeles and yes its "food trendy" but I am happy that Los Angeles is finally getting on the bandwagon. Don't get me wrong I love my food trucks and hole in the walls but going to the Filling Station has the make and feel of a gourmet pub (I guess essentially that's what it is for all of us chic ladies).
HMMMMM HMMM HMMMMMMM.
We ordered the breakfast flat bread that had smoked apple bacon, over easy egg, tomato and argula salad on top. Look at the picture it's fantastic! How could Matea and I pass on such a delicious meal. We also ordered the Hanger Steak and Eggs with Herbed butter. The steak was juicy and flavorful. The salted crust was music to my ears. The Argula salad tossed with lemon juice gave the savory meal its balance. Not to mention the home potatoes that were simply seasoned with salt, pepper and butter. The potatoes reminded me of something my mom would make.
I was also a little curious as to why someone would have deviled eggs on the menu, so I ordered that too. It was tasty but a little dry. I think I will skip the eggs next time. To finish off a great meal we ordered fruit with ricotta cheese and honey. It was slices of heaven in my mouth. Never knew Ricotta cheese and honey mixed well.
Opps I am sorry, I didn't tell you who Matea is....
I'm sure you're probably wondering why I am taking a picture with "Flat Matea". If you're not familiar with the story "Flat Stanley", "Flat Matea" is on vacation here in California and I have been her chosen to be her chaperon. Yesterday we had a fun packed day. We went to Magic Mountain, the Filling Station and the Santa Monica Pier. For the next few weeks you will see more and more pics of "Flat Matea" and I eat our way through each town in Los Angeles.
