I hated the Bing beta, but this is much better. Locate Me never worked for me in the old version so it always started up in Seattle.
Thanks for the post - I tried this, and while it now shows more restaurants, none of them are in my town. So it looks like there are at least 2 bugs here: the fact that it can't handle "All Restaurants" properly, and that the database is extremely poor, at least for some geographic locations.
