In January, 7 News anchor Jeff Russo spoke with Cowan and his business partner, Brian Scanlon, at Forty Thieves in Elmwood Village before the Bills game in Miami. The kitchen and bar is a consistent sponsor of “Bills Backers at the Beach” in Fort Lauderdale.

Doc Sullivan’s in South Buffalo is a must-visit place for wings in Buffalo, featured on the Buffalo Wing Trail list.

Cowan was also part of the ownership team at Patrick’s Rooftop at 500 Pearl.
