Ten years ago, she was an unemployed pastry chef. With the helpof friends and a small business loan, she opened her doors May 1st, 1996, and hasbeen working to meet the demand ever since.“I love to feed people,” Diane says, “I enjoy seeing people walk out happy.”She also likes helping the young people she works with nurture their interest in therestaurant business. “I have some very talented people working for me who are verypassionate about what they do, and I want to support that any way I can.”With 30 employees, Diane’s experience as a mother serves her well. She hashelped members of her staff deal with a variety of challenges, and offersfinancial support to employees who want to continue their culinary training.“Being a mom isn’t so different from being an employer,” she says. “The restaurant is really anextension of home. We’re a family here.”With Diane’s help, line cook Quinton Bass, 24, is working toward his professional cookingcertificate at the Technical Vocational Institute’s culinary school in Albuquerque, where his employeralso received part of her training. “This is the best job I’ve ever had,” Quinton says. “Once you workhere you’re kind of spoiled. It’s a very positive atmosphere.”Diane’s son, Bodhi Werber, is her lead chef and business partner. Reflecting the enthusiasm of thestaff, he adds, “Good help is hard to find. We’ve got a great team and I enjoy being a part of it.”top: Quinton Bass prepares for a local catering. above, left: An impressive presentation is part of the diningexperience at Diane’s. right: Diane Holloway, owner and driving force behind Diane’s Restaurant.www.ziapublishing.com – 19
