From barbecue to bubble tea, Plano\u2019s Foodie Pass lets locals and visitors savor the city one bite at a time. \n<\/p>\n

Visit Plano, the destination marketing organization for the City of Plano, has launched its popular \u201cTaste of Plano Foodie Pass\u201d and is celebrating 5 years of foodie fun! The award-winning program is designed to highlight Plano\u2019s diverse restaurant scene. The pass was first introduced in 2021 to support the local restaurant community in recovering from the impacts of COVID-related shutdowns.<\/p>\n

The free mobile-friendly program features a digital passport showcasing 100 Plano restaurants offering everything from local coffee brews and refreshing ice cream to good ole Texas barbecue and authentic Asian cuisine. Many eateries also offer special discounts and other perks with their purchases.<\/p>\n

Through Sept. 30, consumers simply go to the landing page at visitplano.com\/tasteofplano<\/a> to sign up for free. A link is then sent to the user\u2019s mobile phone, which opens the passport and directs the user to add the icon to their home screen for easy access any time. No bulky downloads or apps are required.<\/p>\n

Then the fun begins. Users can filter by cuisine type or browse the entire list of participating restaurants for a tempting variety of food and special offers that can be redeemed when ordering. Once the passholder arrives at their chosen eatery, they check in on their mobile phone using the saved passport link.<\/p>\n

Users accumulate points for checking in at participating restaurants and redeeming coupons, then their points can be cashed in for fun swag provided by Visit Plano such as new commemorative T-shirts, coffee tumblers, travel mugs and portable speakers.<\/p>\n

After checking in to 20 restaurants, those overachieving passholders will automatically be entered into the \u201cFit for a Foodie\u201d sweepstakes. This year\u2019s sweepstakes offerings include various Plano foodie experiences.<\/p>\n
