Do they even have permit yet?! This is taking a while

This isn't inside information, but I would imagine that this project is going to take longer due to Red Rock on the Lake burning down.

Kevin Durant Restaurant Soon to Become a Reality | OKC Central

Although doesn't mention a start/open date, Steve does provide an update for this project.

[Pete]

A lot of Kevin Durant fans were excited when I broke news earlier this year that the Thunder star was preparing to open a restaurant in Lower Bricktown.

With all due respect to Steve, he didn't "break" this story; we did here on OKCTalk.

Glad to see this project is still moving forward.

You don't think Steve can take credit for one story in exchange for his participation on the forums?

[Pete]

Just setting the record straight.

And this forum is a two-way street for Steve, the Journal Record, the Gazette, etc. They get lots of information, story ideas and traffic from here, I can assure you.

[Spartan]

Steve had a huge break this week alone, and he has been the go-to guy for breaking news downtown for over a decade now. Nobody in their right mind would discredit the guy.

[Steve]

Sigh.
Language changed.
"A lot of Kevin Durant fans were excited when I was the first to get official confirmation earlier this year that the Thunder star was preparing to open a restaurant in Lower Bricktown."
I will acknowledge, and do acknowledge, when stories are inspired by posts at OKC Talk. This story was not one of them. I was chasing the Kevin Durant restaurant story early on.... I'm not looking to get into a flame war or debate on this.

[Pete]

No reason to get testy over me simply stating something that is 100% true.

And I never said this story was inspired by OKCTalk, just that we were first to break the news.


We should be able to have these exchanges without using terms like "flame war". I purposely only posted this here and not on OKCCentral, Twitter or FB.

[Just the facts]

Hopefully they spent the extra time coming up with a better design. Otherwise it will just get added to the other junk that will need to bulldozed in the future.

[Spartan]

Steve actually genuinely enjoys crediting OKC Talk when he feels it appropriate from what I've seen. Everybody loves the credible engagement, few places have resources like OKC Talk or Steve.

Not testy. Just tired. This is one of those days where tones and intent are lost on the keyboard. I never meant a slam on you or the site. But I worked very hard to get the story verified, and then I got ripped off repeatedly by tv news who did none of their own work on this. So then, well, hell .... I'm not mad or upset with you. I hope you're not mad or upset with me.

[Pete]

Steve, you know no one respects you more than me.

I'm one of the few people that understands how hard you work and what goes into what you do.


I'm also proud of OKCTalk and want to make sure the site is given due credit, similar to how you fight for your own work and that of your colleagues.

[Steve]

I want to see OKC Talk thrive as well and you know I value it's role in our community. So why are we at odds here? Let's move on and talk about whether anyone thinks this building design would go through if it didn't have Durant's name attached....

[HangryHippo]

I sure as hell don't think it would cut the mustard. However, I feel that way about every building in Lower Bricktown except for the Centennial, so...

[Urbanized]

The only thing I REALLY care about here is that James Harden is named honorary General Manager of the restaurant and paid around $5 million per year for his role.

[HangryHippo]

Perhaps so he can "SETTLE" for $10 mil a year and keep us away from luxury tax territory?? ; )

[Urbanized]

I would never admit to such chicanery.

[onthestrip]

I dont think there is any way we can resign Harden without getting into the luxory tax territory. Lets hope our owners decide its worth it.

[dankrutka]

This is true, but that is assuming we don't make other changes via amnesty or trades. I think that management is planning on paying some of the luxury tax, but they're trying to minimize it. I still think Harden gets signed, Perkins gets amnestied, Maynor gets let go, and the rest of the roster remains dirt cheap for the foreseeable future... Sorry. Way off topic.

I hope they don't just make it a wall on the south side of the building considering it will be ground level with the new boulevard.

the south side will NOT be ground level with the new BLVD the BLVD will be above ground bridge getting ready to link up with I235 in this area ..
