Ben Ford is an American celebrity chef, restaurateur and the oldest son of actor Harrison Ford.[3][4][5]

Ben Ford's mother, illustrator Mary Marquardt, was Harrison Ford's first wife.[4]

In the 1980s, Ford attended culinary school and later opened a number of restaurants such as the gastropub Ford's Filling Station[6] and Doorstep Market.[4]

Ford's Filling Station closed its original Culver City location in 2014 after 8 years of business[7] and reopened in Los Angeles inside the J.W. Marriott Hotel in the fall of 2014.[8] It was later reported that the Los Angeles location had closed.[9]

One Ford's Filling Station remains at the Los Angeles International Airport, Terminal 5.[10]

In 2014, he published the cookbook, Taming the Feast.[4]

Ford and his wife Emily Ford were wed in 2009 and were married for 14 years.[4] The two divorced in 2024.[5]
