THE OLD BAKERY
We needed to do a food segment for the show. I immediately thought of The Old Bakery, just a few blocks from the White Hart. The Old Bakery was a favorite of the film's stars, and I ate at this small, award-winning family run back in March. The chef/co-owner is Italian, but you won't find a lot of pasta on the menu. Just good ol' Mediterranean cuisine, and local dishes like roast "Lincoln Red" sirloin of beef with Yorkshire pudding and gravy. They also offer a variety of addictive homemade breads. Now that the weather is warmer they've opened up the patio, which makes a meal even better. If you're looking for a reasonable place to stay, they also run a bed and breakfast. Rooms start at �50 ($92). The Old Bakery, 26/28 Burton Road, Lincoln; tel.: 1522-576057 (outside UK 44-1522-576057).

MORE LINCOLN RESTAURANTS
Surprisingly, Lincoln (and much of England for that matter) is full of great places to eat. I can't list everywhere we ate, but two new spots are worth visiting. Lesley's Place (tel.: 01522-513703) is great for lunch � try the tasty sandwiches, scones and desserts. For a little spice, have dinner at Thailand NO1 (tel.: 01522-537000). Lincoln is a college town, so there are plenty of places to hit afterward for beer. Everyone is really friendly. You won't run into many (if any) Americans, so you'll really feel like you're away from home.
