Miguel Cabel Moreno
Filipino chef and advocate (born 1986)
Miguel Cabel Moreno is a Filipino chef, restaurateur, and cultural advocate known for championing the cuisine of his native Tausug heritage and the Zambasulta (Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi) Region of Southern Mindanao. He is the founder of Palm Grill, a restaurant in Luzon specializing in Southern Mindanaoan cuisine, and co-founder of Cabel Filipino Heritage Restaurant.
Moreno's work includes children's literature and media appearances, aimed at preserving heirloom recipes and challenging negative stereotypes associated with his home region.
Early life and education
Moreno was born in Jolo, Sulu, and raised in Zamboanga City. His culinary knowledge was passed down through his family, particularly from his mother, Melissa Cabel, and grandmother, Oswalda Alcantara-Cabel. He learned to cook through observation and practice, absorbing traditional methods by "feel" rather than by following formal recipes.
He graduated from Ateneo de Zamboanga University with a degree in nursing. Following his studies, he worked as a nurse for two years before deciding to pursue a career in the culinary arts.
Career
During his college years, Moreno rented a booth at the annual "Ateneo Fiesta" to sell his mother's Piyanggang manok, a Tausug dish of chicken cooked with burnt coconut. The consistent success of this venture solidified his ambition to open his own restaurant.
