The plant-based sampler: Hot Mozz, Cauli Bites, and Mini Cauli Sliders with three dipping sauces. Dave's NOT Chicken built for sharing — a little of everything in one box. Vegetarian.
About the Dave's (Not Chicken) Big Trio
Dave's (Not Chicken) Big Trio is the ultimate plant-based sampler — a shareable box that pairs crispy Hot Mozz, breaded Cauli Bites, and Mini Cauli Sliders with three dipping sauces. It's the easiest way to taste the breadth of the Dave's NOT Chicken menu in one order, perfect for two people or a hungry one.
At $17.99 the Big Trio brings three distinct textures and formats together: gooey, stretchy mozzarella; poppable cauliflower bites; and tucked-in mini sliders with bun, pickles, and slaw. The trio of sauces lets everyone dial in their own flavor across the spread. It's vegetarian but not vegan, since the mozzarella, batter, buns, and slaw dressing contain dairy and egg.
What's Included the Dave's (Not Chicken) Big Trio

Mini Cauli Sliders
Smaller cauliflower sliders on toasted mini brioche buns with pickles and kale slaw.
3 Dipping Sauces
