Hmm, same cavalier flaunting of health codes...

I wonder where he gets his above-the-law attitude?

Ken Selby worked for Shotgun Sam's?? IIRC Ken opened his first place in 1962, and the opened the first 'Ken's' in 1966 or 1967, so when did he work at Shotguns?

From the TW article:
Quote
“I got the recipes from Ken Selby (founder of Ken’s Pizza and Mazzio’s) before he passed away,” Rice said. “He had spent some time at Shotgun Sam’s.

Quote
Founded in 1961 by school teacher Ken Selby, who ran his new business virtually alone and after teaching a full day as well.

Four years later in 1965 Selby made pizza his full-time job. He opened a second location, which exceeded the success of his first. Plus, the name changed to Ken's Pizza that solidly branded Selby's popular special recipe sauce and thin crust. By 1975, the links of his two starting stores steadily grew to a strong chain of over 100 company and franchise locations, inside and outside of Oklahoma.

In the late 70's. Selby conceived a new business approach. His idea called for more square footage of casual dining space, an expanded menu, thicker pizza served with much more meats and cheeses, sub sandwiches along with a salad bar.

Ex cop.

I call BS on the Ken Selby account considering the time-line DBack posted and then this:

Quote
Tulsan Doug Jones founded Shotgun Sam’s in August 1967. Tom Winslow soon joined as a partner, and the late Raymond King, who owned the buildings, later was added to the ownership group.

I’ve been friends with one of Ken’s children for years.  I’ve sent her a message, interesting to hear what she says.

As figured, the claim about getting recipes from Ken Selby was completely bogus.  If Tom Winslow and Doug Jones are still alive, why wouldn’t you get the recipes from them instead of from someone who apparently never even worked at Shotgun Sam’s?

This guy sounds like a pathological liar.

I was thinking before you posted this, that Ken may have acquired the recipes from Shotguns, but that he worked there I knew was bogus. Just finding things strange, and the opening fiasco even stranger.

Let’s just say, don’t be surprised if the Tulsa World is asked to print a retraction.  Someone in the Selby family is pretty pissed off right now.

Part of Kevin Fosters online review ~ I did notice a man in jeans and a grey t-shirt that kept coming out of the kitchen, which I believe may have been the owner but if it was, he appeared to be emotionless and not in any hurry. Which is probably why I saw more people sitting, waiting, and leaving than eating.

Take a look at their FB page this morning.  The two most recent comments were a photo of the bottom of a Colt 45 pizza.  Burnt to a crisp and the guy didn’t want to return it because the owner was such a jackass.  Second comment was from someone who said it didn’t stack up to the original.  Just as predicted, people expect something to resemble a taste or texture memory from 30+ years ago.
