A group shot of some of the fine foods you can try out during your stay in Titan Garden. They aren't an exhaustive list, but instead just a snapshot of the kinds of culinary craftspeople to be found in every district, from every world of the Sol system. Don't know where to start? Ask Yipyap for his own !restaurant recommendations. He gives them five barks out of five!

Gryzby is a culinary Caelian and the owner of Gryzby's Fine Oils, a Caelian minerals joint operating in the C-District. Gryzby is a food vendor bearing the weight of a mighty challenge, constantly looking for ways to present traditional Caelian foods to the non-Caelian menagerie of an interconnected Sol system. They have a traditionalist background in terms of inheriting their craft from their predecessor and appreciating the rich cultural roots of Caelian mineral blends, but they're of a progressive mind in terms of how to adapt the old ways to the new palates of Titan Garden. Gryzby is friendly but in a salesman's sort of way, a cone of fine oil is a pitch to non-Caelians, a way to disarm their inherent apprehensions at drinking mineral oil and try a taste of Caelus. Yipyap gives it a confused but enthusiastic five barks out of five.

Okay, so, a little backstory: Caelus is a largely-aquatic world consisting of a thick atmosphere over an icy slurry of water, ammonia and minerals collected around a rocky core. Caelians are, by and large, the only species that inhabit Caelus, so their diet doesn't consist of plants or other animal life- instead they subsist on a unique mineral diet. Their internal organs, or "jellies", allow them to break down even tough minerals with little trouble, extracting nutrients from their chemical construction; this process allows them to eat and enjoy the softer foods of other species, as they are effectively omnivorous, but a Caelian diet can wreck havoc on a non-Caelian digestive system. It's a bit of a conundrum if you want to sell Caelian food to non-Caelian customers, but all is not lost! There is another way.

What Gryzby's Fine Oils is, is effectively a reduction of Caelian minerals into a granular state that can be blended with a liquid medium that is gentler on otherworldly tummies than a more traditional mineral dish. These mineral bases can be infused with fruity berry ingredients from other worlds to create unique flavor combinations that are otherwise impossible without the inclusion of a Caelian mineral. "They eat salt just fine, they can eat this as well". It's just a matter of form factor, of presenting Caelian cuisine in a way that a non-Caelian can connect with. In this way being a strict traditionalist is a deterrent, since outworlders genuinely struggle with a Caelian mineral diet. This is where being open and progressive is important: there is a way to make Caelian cuisine appealing, you just need to see it from outside your own shoes and find a way to bridge the divide between your perspectives.

Gryzby's oily medium and mineral infusion is served in a cone and meant to be sipped or dipped with other, flakier mica-like mineral wafers. A cone of Fine Oils are denser than the water of the aquatic C-District, so patrons from Gryzby's home store can carry their meals freely without worrying about them diffusing out into the liquid atmosphere around them. When street fairs or other festivals are going on elsewhere on Titan Garden Gryzby always shows up with a booth and a hand-sized mineral mixer, grinding their curious ingredients into bright, colorful blends that draw the eye and the imagination. Recently Gryzby has been experimenting with gels, creating mineral treats that somewhat resemble a soft-serve ice cream cone, which it turns out is a big draw to Inner Belt humanoids in particular. It's a weird and foreign prospect- would you drink a cone full of colorful mineral oils? If Gryzby has their way you'll give it a shot, and the truth is: you know? It's actually pretty good! Minerals, huh? Who'd have thought?

Jake is a retired mooncross rally racer and the Terran owner of Jammin' Jake's Dancehall Diner, A popular restaurant and venue in the Garden's E-District. A loud and jolly fellow, Jake has a very high energy about him and tends to speak from his chest, projecting his voice like he's always talking over a rumbling mooncross motor engine or a venue-filling bassline. His hearing ain't what it used to be so you'll have to speak up, but he's good at reading vibes so even if he doesn't get it all he'll mostly know what you mean. He's got an infectious good vibe, though, so even if your understanding meets somewhere in the middle you'll still have a great time finding your way there.

Jammin' Jake's Dancehall Diner is a late-night restaurant that runs on second- and third-shift hours, finding no need to be open during early morning breakfast rushes. The menu at Jammin' Jake's consists of beloved recipes from Jake's home in Caribbean Terra- delicious rice medlies, macaroni pies, meat and cheese patties, jerk-style chicken and pork as well as a rich and flavorful oxtail stew you've just gotta try for yourself. Jake runs daily specials throughout the week, including a Seafood Sunday, Meatless Monday, Wildcard Wednesdays and Fireball Fridays to start the weekend right. There's a little taste of the Caribbean for everyone at Jammin' Jake's, but the food alone isn't the biggest draw for the restaurant.

Set in the heart of Titan Garden's Entertainment District, Jammin' Jake's also serves as an energetic and popular music venue. Adjacent to the dining area, down a flight of stairs, is a bar, a dancefloor and a stage where nightly musical acts from all styles come through to put on a show and energize the local night crowd! Space is a cold place, so Jake built the Dancehall Diner to be an inviting bubble of warmth, utilizing heat collection and hot water pipes to route the heat generated by an energetic crowd down below the baseboards and keep the atmosphere nice and cozy. A coatroom is available for guests to check in their thick insulated jackets, freeing them up to enjoy a meal, head downstairs and lose themselves on the dancefloor. Good food, good music and a spot of warmth in the cold depths of space, that's Jammin' Jake's specialty.

While Jake himself is retired from the off-world sport of mooncross rally racing he still loves to talk about his old passion with anyone who would listen. It's a dangerous sport but that's part of what makes the stories about the old days so fun to share, because you made it through the dangers intact and are present to tell the tale. Jake's old racing buddies will often come through, and he'll share a hot meal and a private table on the house, shouting mirth and tales over the pulsing beat of the night's musical act. What's that? No, he ain't sold his old battle wagon. He probably won't run another Phoebe rally but one last run across Hyperion is a tantalizing proposal. Business is good at the Dancehall Diner, a packed house for a popular act brings a great atmosphere to Titan, but the roll off a crater rim and the rumble of a high-powered engine has a way of sitting in your heart. It's hard to stay away forever.

Book, short for Bukherazephyleer, is a Neptunian baker and owner of Gweebo's Canteen, a little deli-style hot food joint near the West Dockyards. Book is very sociable, carrying herself with a big-sisterly demeanor, sharing her wisdom freely while having a bit of fun at someone else's expense. She speaks Neptunian, Terran and Martian standard languages with equal clarity, and knows a few choice phrases in Mercurian Tunnelspeak. Book is nice but she's not "kind", getting along well with the Dockyards' assortment of roughnecks and absolutely enforcing her boundaries with the ones who feel inclined to overstep. Being a Neptunian has blessed Book with a set of very sharp claws and she's very happy to demonstrate what she can do with them. To her regulars, the banter is part of her charm. Yipyap gives her five barks out of five.

The main gimmick of Gweebo's Canteen is that it's a perfectly ordinary Neptunian deli shop with a funny, exotic-sounding name. Book serves her regulars happily, but Gweebo's is also located in a convenient spot accessible to newcomers arriving on Titan from commercial flights- it's important to remember not everyone is an ace starship pilot! The majority of folks book flights from one major starport to the next, and those ships arrive at regular intervals at regular docking ports. Book's scheme is somewhat cynical, but she gives her restaurant and her food exotic-sounding names because she knows first-timer arriving on Titan Garden from the Inner Belt- particularly Terrans and Martians for some reason- love to experience strange space food while they're out on vacation or whatever! So they might have sandwiches and sauces at home, but you put something called a "Bywlxrimb" in front of them and, oh gosh, honey, we've just got to try this! To Book's credit, it works. Tourists love Gweebo's Canteen. Their first authentic taste of alien cuisine! Idiots.

When you get past the funny names, Book's cooking is a great example of Zephyleer Neptunian cuisine! The heart of Gweebo's Canteen is the Llambyrgryst, a large, spiraled sandwich loaf filled with meats and vegetables. A Neptunian can use their sharp claws to cut a band of the spiral and take a section for themselves to eat, leaving the rest of the sandwich for their companions to enjoy- it's a great meal for crews and families to share together. Think of a Terran stromboli, but larger and more round. It's not so exotic when you say it like that, but that's the power of marketing. If you want something approaching a salad, ask for the "Xobtasp". A plate of fried Neptunian molerat served with beans and rice is listed under "deluxe Yabble with Rwyblings", and a thick doughy dish approaching the form and flavor of a Chicago-style deep dish can be ordered by requesting the "personal, medium or large Ghaptwyx" with your choice of ingredients. Be sure to wash it down with a can of Fruit Nice!, it's a Titan favorite. Some people might feel like the marketing trick of making familiar-looking dishes sound more alien than they are is a bit mean, but Book doesn't care. And honestly, the tourists don't care that much either, because the food is really good. We're worlds apart but we still cook and eat our food together. Take that understanding back home to Terra with you.

Book is, perhaps unsurprisingly, big into Titan's underground music scene. She is good friends with Min-Jeong and Puke Commander and always comes out for a Pukes show when Gweebo's is closed up for the night. She likes to hire a lot of the local kids, scrappy punks who don't always fit into other facets of the space station, and give them a shot at their first paid gig. When Min-Jeong is strapped for cash she'll occasionally pop in to pull some shifts at Gweebo's, until her attention span drifts or she gets bored and stops showing up- Book plans for this, and when the kids are ready for work again she doesn't hold an abrupt disappearance against them. Neptunian food isn't difficult to make, it's a useful skill to learn and it puts a few credits into the music scene's pockets, which turns into merch sales for the small-time acts Book loves to support. The Garden's E-District keeps the first-time tourists flying in from the Inner Belt and they keep stopping into Gweebo's for a taste of that alien food they heard about on the teevee. The dockyards get fed, the tourists pay into the station, kids get work and local bands sell merch. It's a neat little system Book's got going for herself. If you're ever on Titan, be sure to stop in and say hi! And bring your friends, a Llambyrgryst is a lot for one person to eat.
