What to Eat?

So.... my FMIL is paying for food. We're having a buffet so nothing too frou-frou, just want it to taste good and catch all the alcohol. (Hehe) Some meats, some starches, some veggies, bread , salads, maybe some finger foods (alas, we are not having a cocktail hour so I'm, not sure how that's gonna work). There are two trains of thought:

FMIL is all "listen, I can get XXXX pounds of fajita meat, tortillas, floutas all for $XXXX. Add some Italian beef and pasta and there you go." So.... Mexican food with beef and pasta. O.....kay.

FI is all "NO NO NO.... no more Mexican food! I want I nice chicken vesuivio (I don't know what that is, it took me forever just to spell it) with a nice pasta and some italian beef".

What is it with this family and the Italian beef? The last 3 parties I went to it's been italian beef with pasta.

Does anybody have some good (affordable) ideas to feed about 175 people?

    Start talking to caterers.  I'd also post a question on the local Chicago board for inexpensive catering companies.
