“A hunter feeds himself. A chef feeds the world.” — Porky Darl
Filed Under: HavenReach Culinary Archives — Masterwork Establishments
Set in the Silvervale Suburbs — a neighborhood of quiet lawns and secret federal operations — sits a chrome-lined miracle glowing at midnight.
The Cloudlight Diner should be impossible:
Too classic to belong in a cyberpunk suburb.
Too comforting for a town built on paranoia.
Too soulful to be legal under HavenReach culinary regulations.
But the moment you push open its polished glass door, inhale the caramelized butter, and hear Porky Darl’s signature chuckle from the kitchen, you understand:
This is not a diner.
This is a sanctuary.
A battlefield veteran turned culinary legend runs a kitchen where every plate is a story, every flavor has intent, and every meal is big enough to feed a squadron.
Race: Human

Role: Owner, Head Chef, Ex-RAF Major, Master Hunter
Porky stands like a brick kiln shaped into a man — powerful, broad-shouldered, with the gentlest eyes in Silvervale. He moves with the disciplined grace of a hunter who has spent a lifetime drawing invisible bowstrings.
“If a meal doesn’t feel like a victory, it ain’t worth serving.”
Everything Porky cooks blends:
hunter’s instinct
military ration efficiency
grandmother-level comfort
Nova Prime frontier ingredients
He never uses automated cookers.
He trusts only:
fire
cast iron
and his hands
Each dish is built to keep a soldier fighting, a cop awake, or a runaway kid feeling safe.
Written in the style of a Michelin inspector translating a madman’s passion into gastronomy.
2-Pound Mammoth Patty
1 Pound Beef Bacon
1 Pound Pastrami
Triple Melt Layer Cheese Blend
A colossal creation that should topple under its own weight, yet stands like architecture. The mammoth patty delivers a primal earthiness—dense, mineral-rich, and delicately seasoned to preserve the flavor of ancient grazing fields.
The beef bacon adds crisp salt thunder, and the pastrami offers smoky pepper warmth.
The triple cheese blend has the melt of alpine cheese and the bite of old-city sharp cheddar.
Served with:
fried cauliflower florets tossed in chili butter
or steamed to reveal the vegetable’s pure sweetness
This dish is not eaten.
It is conquered.
A rotating selection of meats Porky personally sources from Veridia Wilds expeditions:
Fire-Grilled Thunderboar Chops
Mammoth Bone-Marrow Ribs
Skysheep Steaks (cloud-grazers with feather-soft fat caps)
Veridian Elk Strips smoked over mineral bark
Protein forward. Smoke forward.
Every bite tastes like a victory over nature itself.
Chefs across Nova Prime whisper that Porky seasons meats with memories of the hunt.
A thick, steel-colored pot of slow-braised game meat, root vegetables, and a broth rich enough to make soldiers cry.
Depth. Warmth.
Home.
This stew has fed:
exhausted SVPD teams
undercover FID agents
kids who needed a hot meal
and grieving families after major incidents
It is the most emotionally loaded dish in Silvervale.
Served all day.
Includes:
cloud-eggs whipped into airy peaks
mammoth sausage links
crisped potato slabs charred just enough for crunch
sweet-spice glaze on fried dough spirals
A breakfast that demands respect.
Light textures paired with heavy flavors — Porky’s ode to sunrises seen from ranger cliffs.
Massive wings marinated in volcanic honey and deep-fried in cast iron.
Lava Hot
Honey-Aether
Jet Black Pepper
Mammoth Grease Glaze (Porky’s signature)
These wings are an edible biography — sweet, violent, smoky, and disciplined.
A colossal stack designed for SVPD officers.
Contents:
grilled skysheep
folded egg
roasted peppers
melted sharp cheese
toasted tri-grain loaf
a smear of Volcano Mustard
The perfect cop sandwich:
Eaten one-handed.
Fights fatigue.
Warms morale.
Can withstand being dropped during an arrest.
Handmade cream-soda ice with thick vanilla glaze.
Dense. Heavy. Sweet enough to stop a runaway heart.
Legend says it once broke an officer’s tooth but saved his life as a makeshift bullet stopper.
The only recipe Porky never modified.
Flaky crust. Exploding berry sweetness.
A dessert with soul.
Fresh-brewed black coffee (strong enough to jolt a corpse)
Sparkling cloud-water
Mammoth-milk shakes
Spiced hunter’s tea
Synth-cola (for kids)
Hidden under every booth, linked directly to SVPD HQ.
Never used frivolously.
Looks like a freezer.
Is, in fact, a panic bunker graded to withstand anti-vehicle weaponry.
Contains cuts of meat from creatures that no longer exist.
He will never admit this.
Porky’s old longbow rests locked in a transparent cryo-block.
He keeps it “in case the world loses its mind.”
The Cloudlight Diner is:
a meeting place
a peace zone for officers
a refuge for students
a pressure-release point for FID agents
a symbol of hope for the suburb
Porky runs it like a general runs a battalion:
with discipline, heart, and a little fear.
