Cactus Shadows Alum, Big Earl’s Owner Shows Students What’s Cookin’

Brooke Butler, owner of Big Earls Greasy Eats and Cactus Shadows Alumna (’08) and Big Earl’s kitchen manager Andrew Martin shared knife skills and other kitchen tricks in the school’s CTE culinary classroom last month. The two brought real-world experience to help students learn and appreciate all that goes on behind the scenes of a restaurant. Said Cactus Shadows principal Dr. Steve Bebee, “Brook’s experiences bring relevance to what is being taught. When that business owner is a former Falcon herself, that just makes the experience even more special.”
