In August, Portland foodies cheered when we launched the Bing Food Cart Finder map app to provide a better search experience to discover the city’s amazing food carts and help make decisions about which one to eat at super easy and fun. Since the response was very enthusiastic, we figured why not have a little more fun with the Bing Food Cart Finder and continue to celebrate the rich street food scene in Portland.
So here’s the deal: Next week we’re giving away free meals served by some of the most popular food carts in Portland. All you have to do is go to the Bing Food Cart Finder at 7 a.m., 11 a.m., and 4 p.m. on October 13th and look for the golden sporks.
The golden sporks will reveal on the map the exact location where you can get free breakfast, lunch, and happy hour treats. The first 500 people to show up to each location eat for free. Sounds fun right? Mark your calendars, bookmark the map app, bring your appetites, and we’ll see you next week!
Disclaimer: Offer good to the first 500 people to respond to each “meal” location while supplies last. Limit one offer per person, per meal location. This offer cannot be combined with any other offer and is not redeemable for cash. Recipient is solely responsible for purchasing any other beverage or food item not specified in this offer.

Hi Ryan!
I shoot high resolution, 360 panoramas that have been received very well by your team over at Photosynth, and I love the easy integration with Bing Maps!
I'm in Portland and have been thinking that our great food cart locations would make an excellent photo essay. Tomorrow sounds like a great day to go down and shoot a few of the most popular locations. What is the chance that my images could make it onto the Bing Food Cart Finder as Photosynths?
Check out my GigaView user profile at Photosynth to see my images of museums, parks, homes, events, and attractions - photosynth.net/userprofilepage.aspx
Thanks,
Thomas
Hey Portland Foodies and Bing peeps! There are now interactive, 360 images of the Cart Diem lunch and happy hour events up on Bing Maps. Use the Photosynth Map App to zoom in on SW 9th Ave for three lunch photos or Hawthorne & 12th Ave for two happy hour photos. If you were at the event and you saw my robot camera, then it probably saw you. Check them out and look around, zoom in on the details. This one is my favorite - www.bing.com/.../explore
You'll also find my recent high res, 360 panoramic Photosynths at:
The Portland Japanese Garden
Silver Falls State Park
The Peregrine Fund's World Center For Bird's of Prey, Boise, ID
Chaco Canyon Cultural Monument, NM
Alburquerque Balloon Fiesta, NM
Natural Bridges National Monument, UT
Grand Canyon GigaView - A virtual tour of the Grand Canyon by raft.
Due to Bing Maps exceptional integration with Photosynth, these images that were originally intended for use with Google tools are now most effectively presented on the Bing platform. Nice job, Microsoft, you've got this fan.
