When NFL stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce aren’t busy lighting up the field for the Kansas City Chiefs, they’re cooking up something special off the field—literally. The dynamic duo, known for their on-field chemistry and close friendship, is now teaming up for a culinary venture that’s sure to stir up some excitement: a steakhouse restaurant called 1587 Prime.
A New Chapter for Mahomes and Kelce
The partnership between Mahomes, the star quarterback, and Kelce, the legendary tight end, extends beyond the gridiron. Off the field, these two have been spotted together in all kinds of settings, and now they’re taking their bromance to the next level by entering the restaurant business.
They’re teaming up with the hospitality group Noble 33, the team behind some top-tier venues like Toca Madera in Las Vegas and Casa Madera in West Hollywood. The result? 1587 Prime, an upscale modern American steakhouse set to open its doors in Kansas City in early 2025.
For anyone familiar with the two athletes, the name 1587 Prime is a clever nod to their jersey numbers—15 for Mahomes and 87 for Kelce. The word “prime” is a bit more mysterious but likely represents the prime of both players’ careers, as they are both in the height of their success.
What’s on the Menu? A Lot to Savor
If you’re imagining a typical steakhouse, think again. 1587 Prime is gearing up to offer much more than your usual cuts of beef. According to Tosh Berman, co-founder of Noble 33, the restaurant will showcase specialty cuts of meat that diners can check out before they devour them, giving the experience a unique and interactive twist.
In addition to the meat program, the restaurant will feature one of the largest wine collections in Missouri, rivaling the impressive collection at St. James Winery. This ambitious wine list will pair perfectly with a menu that’s been thoughtfully curated for 1587 Prime, blending Noble 33’s specialty dishes with Mahomes and Kelce’s own touches.
Despite the upscale nature of the venue, Mahomes has reassured potential diners that they won’t need a football player’s salary to enjoy a meal. He emphasized the importance of keeping the restaurant accessible, saying, “We don’t want to make it too upscale, too high-priced that not everybody can go.”
A Location to Remember
The location of 1587 Prime is just as exciting as its menu. Set within the Loews Hotel in downtown Kansas City, the restaurant will span 10,000 square feet across two floors, providing ample space for guests to enjoy a premium dining experience. Kansas City locals and visitors alike can look forward to a high-end atmosphere with an inviting and sophisticated vibe.
Bringing People Together
Mahomes and Kelce’s bond is well known, and the two athletes have made it clear that they see this restaurant as an extension of their friendship and their shared love for bringing people together. Mahomes shared his excitement, saying, “Me and Travis have been working on that for a while. We’re always together. We’re always at these restaurants, and we have a love for bringing people together.”
If the restaurant’s success mirrors their on-field performance, 1587 Prime could become a touchdown in the culinary world, not just for Kansas City but for all food enthusiasts looking to experience something special.
The Future Looks Tasty
With their first restaurant venture already generating major buzz, Mahomes and Kelce are looking forward to introducing 1587 Prime to the world. While the official opening is still a few months away, the anticipation is already building, and with the involvement of Noble 33, there’s no doubt this restaurant will have a high-quality experience from start to finish. Who knows? If the restaurant proves popular, the duo may even look to expand.
So, whether you’re a football fan, a foodie, or simply someone who appreciates a good business move, 1587 Prime is one to watch. We can’t wait to see Mahomes and Kelce serve up more than just touchdowns—we’ll be there for the steak, too.
