February 7, 2025
Over 20 students from four culinary arts classes at St. Philip’s College gathered on Jan. 24 to prepare 15,000 tacos for the San Antonio community during the second annual Cowboy Breakfast, hosted by the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo and Spurs Give.
The students began preparations at midnight, using 23,000 eggs, 3,700 sausage links, 475 pounds of beans, 475 pounds of bacon, and 475 pounds of chorizo to fill 15,000 tortillas. The event, held from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. in Parking Lot 6 at the Frost Bank Center, marked the official start of the Bar-B-Que Cook-Off weekend and the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo.
Attendees enjoyed a wide variety of breakfast tacos and coffee for free. In a show of community support, a $15,000 scholarship check was presented to the St. Philip’s College Culinary Arts program during the event.
"I love being part of the Cowboy Breakfast because it brings back memories of my time as a student and volunteer. Now, as an instructor, I have the privilege of leading our college’s participation. The event provides our culinary arts students a chance to showcase their skills and opens doors to scholarship opportunities," said Chef Instructor John Munoz.
