This weekend, Dose Market begins a four-week spree of holiday markets chock full of food, fashion, and festivities. It’s the most comprehensive and ambitious string of Dose Market events the organization has ever done, hosted at 1st Ward at Chop Shop. It all starts this Sunday, November 24, with Kitchen Bliss, the foodiest Dose to date, featuring a tasty amalgam of pantry provisions, prepared food, beverages, planters, confections, and lots more. Overdosing as never tasted so delicious.

With so many options to wade through, here’s a honed list of four spots doling out menus that are extra special and unique, which is something to truly be thankful for.
