====== DJANGO’S DINER ======

{{:djangos_diner_morningstar_food_market.png?direct&400|}}
===== Overview =====

  * **Location:** Public Services Ring, [[morningstar|Morningstar]]
  * **Address:** SE Public Services Ring Rd 4
  * **Surroundings:** In sight of the [[morningstar_food_market|Morningstar Food Market]]

Founded in January 2627 by [[Django Marković|Django Marković]] — a one-time sous-chef from the central kitchen of the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]] — Django’s quickly became the go-to spot for anyone craving a warm, home-style meal after a long shift. The diner’s cozy counter seats and sturdy booths host a revolving cast of frontier workers: smokestack engineers, distillery loaders off-duty from [[fogwood_sawmill|Fogwood Sawmill]], and wide-eyed traders fresh in from the river runs. But the real draw? Django’s signature take on Serbian Soup, called "Breakfast" —  a cherished family recipe reworked with local mirel leaf, diced bilax root, shredded smoked river ham, and a dash of fermented mist-vinegar — that’ll stick to your ribs and make you feel right at home.

Django’s remained open until the end of the[[great_war| Great War]] on 24 March 2631. Following the war’s close and the rise of [[communardism|Communardism]] in 2632, all bars, pubs, and restaurants were shuttered and replaced by so called [[federal_hostel_saloon|Federal Hostels and Saloons]] — bringing Django’s chapter to a close when its operations were absorbed into the newly chartered [[federal_hostel_saloon_morningstar|Federal Hostel and Saloon of Morningstar]].

===== Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters =====

Django’s is perfect for starting —or diffusing — conflicts over food: a staged soup-theft could spark a chase through the mist, or an overheard secret in the kitchen might set players on a new frontier quest. It’s cozy, but tensions simmer just below the surface.
