I am having KFC, I know it sounds silly but think about it: everyone loves chicken, it comes with 3 dif types of chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, cole slaw and biscuits. To serve 100 people it will cost 350. We are adding hor d'ourves (sp) and a veggie lasanga for vegetarians so it is like a buffet. Chicken would certainly go with your theme as well! The food comes in tin pans and you could keep them warm using a wire rack and a can of sterno.

I second Nikki with Famous Daves! we were going to do that at one point, but ended up going with a reception venue that does their own catering, so we didnt end up using them, but the women there in charge of catering's name is Hope and she is so quick to respond to e-mails, their prices were very reasonable too!

The Brown Bag in Rockland catered a similar event I attended, with the same theme, and the food was awesome!  Everything was homemade by them, including the breads, and delicious.  I'm pretty sure they also do wedding cakes, but you would have to check with them if you still need one.  My favorite BBQ place is in the Old Port...."Norms Ribs".....don't know if they cater but invite me if they do and you end up using them.  LOL!!  Good luck.
