If you go to the Big Pots section and scroll down, I think you will find all the pages you need:
quantities for 100 (just divide by 2)
BBQ and brisket, which tells how to calculate your meat and sides
Slaws Mac and Potato Salads for 100
Fruit platters, with shopping and prep instructions
veggie platters
and many dessert ideas are listed by individual recipes in the same section

I suggest one pack of garden burgers, if you have teens or middle aged folks you will have some vegetarians or heart patients. Make sure at least one side dish is carb free- cuke or green bean salad, etc. Have a great meal. Ellen
