NFL stars are opening a restaurant in Kansas City.
Ever wondered what it would be like to eat at a restaurant created by two NFL legends? Well, wonder no longer, since Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are establishing a restaurant in the city, with a special dish designated for their head coach, Andy Reid.
On the field, quarterback Mahomes and tight end Kelce have a terrific partnership, recently passing 50 all-time touchdown combinations in the 2023 season.
The pair celebrated their success after winning Super Bowl LVIII back in February with a 25-22 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, and it seems they are willing to take their partnership into the culinary world.
The Chiefs duo are opening a steakhouse called ‘1587 Prime’ at the Loews Hotel in downtown Kansas City, with the name inspired by the combination of their jersey numbers 15 and 87 together.
Mahomes and Kelce will team up with Noble 33, a Las Vegas-based restaurant chain, to give their fans a taste of their favorite foods while out on the road together, with further franchises planned if the opening is a success.
“Me and Travis have been working on it for a while, we took some stuff we knew together, we’re always at restaurants,” Mahomes said.
We love to bring people together. I think the most important thing for us is that we will do everything we can to bring people together, and what better place than Kansas City?”

Mahomes reveals the secret.
While Mahomes has kept the sort of food served a secret, the 28-year-old did reveal that team coach Reid will be on the menu – not literally, of course.
The two are preparing numerous more NFL-themed dishes, including Mahomes’ favorite, ketchup, which is well-documented.
“I’m going to have a steakhouse, I think I’ve given away too many things, but a lot of great stuff, a few of my favorites… ketchup will be there,” he went on to say. “And hopefully we’re going to win some games at Arrowhead Stadium, and then we get to go and have a few drinks and food with it.”
Reid, who led the Chiefs to their third Super Bowl under his leadership, is well-known for his fondness for the classic cheeseburger. In fact, after winning the AFC Championship game, he celebrated with a cheeseburger in bed.
When asked if there would be one devoted to Reid at their restaurant, Mahomes laughed and said, “That will be on there!”
