Bing Maps has a food truck finder for Portland
Posted by Sharon Pian Chan
Bing Maps has built a food cart finder for Portland.
Microsoft says it maps more than 250 food carts in the city, and you can filter the results by cuisine, rating, reviews or hours.
Seattle has 316 mobile food vendors, 119 of which are trucks or trailers, according to Public Health -- Seattle King County. In comparison, Portland has 579 mobile food carts, trucks and trailers, according to the Multnomah County Health Department and this Seattle Times story on food trucks hitting bumps in Seattle.
I have a call in to Microsoft asking if it plans to map food trucks in Seattle and will let you know what I hear back. Here is the Bing blog announcement about it.
Here is a screenshot below of the Bing Food Cart Finder. Portland has a food cart called "Bruce Lee's Kitchen.
