Cauli Slider Hot Box
The Cauli Slider Hot Box is a $90.00 vegetarian group feast — a box of crispy Nashville-style cauliflower sliders on brioche buns, plus fries and Dave's Sauce — roughly 5,400 calories that serves about 5, at any of all 7 heat levels.
About the Cauli Slider Hot Box
The Cauli Slider Hot Box brings Dave's full group feast to the meat-free table. In place of chicken, each slider is built on Dave's seasoned, battered, and fried cauliflower — crispy on the outside, tender inside — set on a toasted brioche bun with house-made pickles and creamy kale slaw. Bundle a box of those sliders with crinkle-cut fries and Dave's Sauce and you have a complete vegetarian spread where every guest gets a finished sandwich. At $90.00 it's the premium, fully plant-forward Hot Box, so the whole group can share one box without anyone being left out.
A Hot Box serves roughly 5 people, and you choose one heat level for the entire box at no extra charge — all seven levels carry over to the cauliflower exactly as they do to chicken. The cauliflower sliders are vegetarian but not strictly vegan: the batter and slaw dressing may contain dairy and eggs, and the fries may share fryer oil with breaded chicken, so confirm with your location if cross-contact is a concern. This is the order for mixed gatherings where vegetarians want the same shareable Nashville experience as everyone else.
What's Included the Cauli Slider Hot Box
Cauliflower Sliders
A box of vegetarian Nashville sliders — seasoned, battered, and fried cauliflower on a toasted brioche bun with house-made pickles and kale slaw, all at the box's chosen heat level.
House-Made Pickles & Slaw
Each slider is dressed with tangy pickles and creamy kale slaw that cool the heat and add fresh crunch to the crispy cauliflower.
Crinkle-Cut Fries
A generous shared portion of golden crinkle-cut fries — the neutral side that balances the spice across the whole box.
Dave's Sauce
Dave's signature creamy dipping sauce for the whole box — for the fries, the sliders, and taming the heat.

Veggie ComboFrequently Asked Questions
Is the Cauli Slider Hot Box vegetarian?
Yes — the sliders are made with battered, fried cauliflower instead of chicken, so the box is vegetarian. It is not strictly vegan, however: the batter and slaw dressing may contain dairy and eggs, and the fries may share fryer oil with breaded chicken. Confirm with your location if cross-contact is a concern.
How much is the Cauli Slider Hot Box and how many people does it serve?
The Cauli Slider Hot Box is $90.00 and serves roughly 5 people. It's the premium vegetarian Hot Box, designed so plant-based guests can share one big Nashville feast just like the chicken Hot Boxes.
How many calories are in the Cauli Slider Hot Box?
The full box totals approximately 5,400 calories — about 1,080 per serving across 5 people. That includes the cauliflower sliders, the shared fries, and Dave's Sauce.
Can I choose the spice level for the Cauli Slider Hot Box?
Yes. The whole box is set to a single heat level from all seven options at no extra charge, and the heat applies to the cauliflower exactly as it does to chicken. Medium is the safest choice for a mixed group.
What's the difference between the Cauli Slider Hot Box and the Cauli Bites Hot Box?
The Cauli Slider Hot Box ($90.00) comes with complete brioche sliders dressed with pickles and slaw, while the Cauli Bites Hot Box ($30.00) comes with smaller cauliflower bites. Both are vegetarian; the slider box is a full sandwich feast, the bites box is a more snackable, lower-priced option.
Is the Cauli Slider Hot Box spicy?
It can be as spicy as you choose. All seven Dave's heat levels are available, from No Spice to Reaper, and the cauliflower takes the rub just like chicken does. The brioche bun and kale slaw buffer the heat somewhat, so it eats a little milder than cauliflower bites at the same level.
