Diane Wu Feng is the co-owner of burger-chan, a critically-acclaimed burger restaurant in Houston, TX.  The original location of burger-chan closed in August 2020--after four years of operation--due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  The originally planned second location (burger-chan II) will now become their sole flagship storefront and is slated to open in early 2021.
Diane graduated from Rice University in 2007 with aspirations of becoming a Sociology professor.  She attended the University of Washington in Seattle for a quarter before she quickly realized she preferred teaching to research.  So she returned to Texas and got her middle school math teaching certificate from the UTeach program at UT-Austin.  After a few years teaching in Houston, TX and winning "Teacher of the Year" at her alma mater, she and her husband moved to Shanghai, China--where Diane taught middle and high school math at an international school.  After a couple years abroad, Diane and her husband returned to Houston, TX to start a family.  Diane had plans to return to teaching a few months after their daughter was born, but her husband Willet soon realized he needed her help to run his new burger restaurant.  Fast forward four years to the present, Diane has as much experience in a restaurant as in a classroom.
