Of the many great reasons to check out Dose Market each month, our favorite part is definitely the chance to preview exciting soon-to-open restaurants. The food and fashion gathering in the River East Art Center usually features a sneak peek at new venture or two, and yesterday's event was no different. Guests had the chance to preview dishes from the upcoming Pecking Order and Flour and Bones, along with a host of other quality vendors from around the Midwest, including Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, Burton's Maplewood Farm, and Virtue Cider. And that's not to mention the local Chicago restaurants, like Falafill and Do-Rite Donuts, which were also on hand.

We sent our new photography intern and Dose Market veteran, Debbie Carlos to take some pictures. Check out the slideshow to see what you missed!
