Chef Maybel Moore has been working in kitchens since the age of sixteen, starting out as a prep cook in her hometown of London, Ontario. After graduating from George Brown College Chef School, Maybel spent eleven years as sous chef at West Queen West’s bar_one, the recently closed and much loved Southern Italian restaurant. These days Maybel can be found raising her family and turning out killer brunch fare at The Three Speed in Bloordale. After 20 years in the food business, Maybel is known as a trusted chef and passionate baker, who is now ready to turn her keen abilities to the nom-noms of her childhood.
