Kevin Isabelle Ryrie (they/them) is currently working as a server and shift captain at the Elora Mill which is located in Elora, Ontario.
Isabelle started working in the industry in 2006 at A&W in Kitchener. A spur of the moment interview led them down a path of restaurants that has lasted more than 15 years. After getting their toes wet doing all roles possible in quick service restaurants for almost 4 years, including the thrill of opening a new restaurant, they made the transition to serving at Symposium in Waterloo.
The next several years saw Isabelle doing stints at East Side Mario's, Wildcraft, Abe Erb and Pauper's Pub (Toronto).
Returning to downtown Kitchener after some time away, they ended up serving part-time with a phenomenal team at the B@THEMUSEUM. 
Due to a fortuitous 2am barstool conversation at the B, Isabelle was offered a job bartending at the newly opened Grand Trunk Saloon. Starting off barely knowing what a Manhattan was, they quickly fell in love with the bartending side of the business.
Creating bold, booze-forward cocktails in a dark spot where you could rock a multi-coloured mohawk, vest and tie was a dream come true. 
Isabelle has since also bartended at the Braai House in Stratford and worked back at the B managing/bartending.
