Seafood gumbo, redbeans and rice. Two of my favorites for large gatherings. Plenty of carbs in the rice and a little protein in the seafood and beans. Yum!

Spaghetti + meatballs with some chocolate milk. Hershey's single-serving size cartons are great.

Food.
Oh, don't forget to parcel out for the vegans and anti-gluttonites. They're a small minority but a vocal one.

Nothing beat Potatoes.
Mashed, Boiled, Baked, any kind of them, as long as its Potatoes.
Even Potatoes chips works great!
And don't forget Tomatoes saurces!!

When and where is the event? Lots of cold fluids if it's hot, hots of warm comfort food if it's cold.
I've finished a few rides in serious "bonk". Some of your longer route riders may experience that. When bonk happens, I don't care what the food looks like, I gobble everything in sight as quickly as I can.

This^^^ E.g., Nothing like eating hot-as-magma lasagna after a ride when it's 90 and humid out. Been there. Done that. Didn't pre-register so I didn't get the event t-shirt.

No joy; they'd bought a bunch of boxed lunches: a cold sandwich and maybe a bag of chips or something. They didn't even have hot drinks. I'd have been truly miserable except that I'd brought a change of clothes, so I had something dry to wear.
Don't do that.

Most California rides I do serve tri tip, chicken, or burritos (chicken or veggie). I've also had pasta and salad too. Don't forget the beer. 805 Beer was a sponsor at the Solvang Century one year. Since my ride number was 805, I asked if it would get me a free beer since I was promoting their product all day, no deal. $2, same as everybody. We had an In-N-Out burger mobile kitchen truck at a couple of rides that was very popular with the carnivores.
