" Our food editor, Babs Chernetz, travels all over the country (and the world) in search of tasty food; check in with her here for some of her latest finds! Here&amp;#039;s Babs on can&amp;#039;t-miss English fare from a recent trip to London.   (above: Rabbit Salad at Great Queen Street, London, UK) One of my best friends, Artie, is a stage manager; he&amp;#039;s currently touring the UK with Donmar Warehouse&amp;#039;s production of King Lear with Derek Jacobiand then bringing it to New York this spring. He invited me to come to London before he set off for Wales with the tour, and I decided to go for the weekend to see some shows and check out some restaurants. We managed to get in three plays, five restaurants, and one museum exhibit - exhausting but fun! We saw the new Frankenstein with Jonny Lee Miller playing the monster. Danny Boyle (who directed Slumdog Millionaire and 127 Hours) is the director; the show is beautiful and has amazing special effects, and Jonny Lee Miller was terrific. We both felt the show needed some shaping, but it was well worth seeing. We also saw End of the Rainbow, which is about the end of Judy Garland&amp;#039;s life; Tracie Bennett, the actress who plays Judy Garland, has her mannerisms and her voice down pat. Our third show was a revival of Alan Ayckbourn&amp;#039;s Season&amp;#039;s Greetings, which had some hysterically funny moments. One of my favorite places to eat was Great Queen Street (a gastropub), where I had a rabbit salad with endive and radicchio in a creamy champagne vinaigrette. We shared a rib of beef dish; it was cooked perfectly and served with a creamy coarse mustard sauce and fat chips (fries, that is).  (above: Fish and Chips at Tom&amp;#039;s Kitchen, London, UK) We also loved the fish and chips at Tom&amp;#039;s Kitchen, brunch at H\u00E9l\u00E8ne Darroze&amp;#039;s restaurant at the Connaught, and the salads at Ottolenghi. There are four of their stores in London, and their beautiful cookbooks are available at Amazon. Their salads are wonderfully fresh, and have interesting, flavorful ingredients.

We ate at Galvin at Windows (on the 28th floor of the London Hilton on Park Lane in Mayfair) and had a fantastic meal with panoramic views; it was a great way to top off the weekend!
