The biggest plant-based buffalo cauli mac: a large bowl of creamy mac & cheese over fries, loaded with breaded Cauli Bites, ranch, and spicy buffalo sauce. Built for a group. Vegetarian.
About the Large Top-Loaded Spicy Buffalo Cauli Mac
The Large Top-Loaded Spicy Buffalo Cauli Mac is the group-sized version of Dave's plant-based comfort mashup โ a big bowl of creamy mac & cheese over a generous base of crinkle-cut fries, loaded with breaded Cauli Bites and finished with cool ranch and tangy spicy buffalo sauce. It's a shareable centerpiece for the table.
At roughly 1,620 calories and $16.49, the large brings the most mac, the most fries, and the most cauliflower bites of any buffalo cauli mac size. The ranch keeps the buffalo heat balanced across the whole platter, and the crispy bites add texture against the rich, creamy mac. Vegetarian but not vegan, since the mac & cheese, batter, and ranch contain dairy and egg.
