The popular Houston chef is at odds with his business partners, as they claim he's taking hundreds of thousands of dollars.

HOUSTON, Texas -- A new steakhouse on the Washington Corridor is at risk of closing its doors amid a legal battle with investors, according to attorneys.

Months following the restaurant's opening, the plaintiffs said they discovered employees and vendors were not being paid on time, and some didn't receive payment. "I think he has run into the situation where everything is closing in and people are starting to find out the truth," Hardin said. Dallas attorney Kevin Kelley also filed suit against Bowie in 2020 calling it a"classic restaurant manager embezzlement case".Banking records show that within a week of wiring the first installment, Bowie made unauthorized personal withdrawals from the ATM, according to the lawsuit.

ABC13 also found records showing two limited liability companies owned by Bowie that received more than $650,000 in coronavirus-related Paycheck Protection Program loans that were intended for payroll. Ansari hired a structural engineer who inspected the Taste Bar and Kitchen in March and noted in his report that there is a considerable amount of rotting wood on the building and believes part of the building may collapse based on the extent of the structural damage."I am being stopped by armed guards who are there," Ansari told the council."So, I am asking HPD to help protect me so I don't get shot going.
