How about a pasta bar? You could have a few different sauces/mix ins.
Most people like pasta, after all...

Or a chili bar,or baked potato bar. (see a theme in my ideas??)

Very self-serve, which will be easier for you.

Have fun,
Kris

Not to mention sliced jalapeno peppers.

I think it's a Cincinnati Chili thing he's going for. I lived in
Cincinnati for five years and the Chili isn't really Chili as most
people think, but more of a runny, somewhat bland meat sauce with a
consistency closer to sloppy joes or taco meat without the chopped
onions and peppers in it. And you put the hot sauce on top to your
own liking. Cincinnati Chili isn't an Italian Dish or a Mexican dish
but was first developed by a Greek restaurant owner in the Cincinnati
area in the early 1920's.

I know about Skyline however I was going for any kind of Chili the crowd or
host(ess) would care to make. Many years ago when Bob's Big Boy was a So
Cal restaurant chain they served chili over spaghetti. It's not a bad dish
especially when smothered in Cheese.

New Post to come.

Back in the day, mid-western chili was made with either elbow macaroni or
spaghetti. My family did elbow mac/

Very good idea. I attended a "Pasta party" some years ago, and the homeowner
started bringin' in pots of always different pastas with always a different
dressing. They were in an ascending order of "tastyness": first one was the
usual tomato + garlic + basil sauce, then some more whom I forgot, and the
last one were spaghetti alla puttanesca, and very hot too
A nice thing would be to bring plain pasta while variuos sauces are ready
and warm on the table, so that everyone could serve himself as desired, but
pasta loses most of it's zing if not properly cooked, which means: cook
almost to doneness and then finish in the sauce pan for the last 1 or 2
minutes, quickly stirring over high heat. Here in Italy the undressed pasta
near the sauces would make many think to canteens, such as those one finds
in many schools and manifacturing areas.
Don't know there where you are, maybe it wouldn't have this downside.

Ooh... I'd suggest Damsel's Italian beef and maybe a roasted turkey
breast sliced thin, maybe some nice salami.

If it were nice out (and around here it isn't) I'd do some smoked
chicken breasts. I shred them up with homemade buttermilk dressing and
grated carrots and serve it on croissants. This is a favorite on the
lunch table when my flyball club travels to tournaments as it actually
tastes better after being refrigerated overnight.

This puts me in the mind of barbecue. A spread of smoked chicken,
pulled pork, pickles, bread, chips, baked beans, potato salad, cole
slaw, peach cobbler and/or banana pudding would be fun.

Or Texas style...

BBQ brisket, potato salad, slaw, cheese stuffed bacon wrapped jalapeno
pepper poppers, baked beans and a pile of pickles and fresh sliced
onions.

And beer.
