"Something really unique about The West Table is our actual tables. Cameron's grandfather, Bill Shambeck, was a cotton farmer in the area and the tables that we have are reclaimed wood from an old cotton gin here in Lubbock."
- Rachel West
Cameron is also the grandson of Dirk West, local cartoonist and former mayor. As a homage to Dirks’ Round Table at Lubbock Country Club, the Chef’s Table was built in honor of him. Chef's Table seats between 8-10 people; reservations are recommended. The Chef's Table features Dirk's most iconic character - Raider Red - etched into the wood.
