In a recent episode of his podcast, New Heights, Travis Kelce shared the exciting news and inspiration behind the launch of “1587 Prime Steak House”, a new venture he is embarking on with his teammate Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City. The establishment promises to be more than just a restaurant; it’s a gesture of gratitude towards the city that has fervently supported their careers.
The Chiefs duo aren’t the first sports players to make forays into the restaurant business. NBA great Michael Jordan also has his own chain called “Michael Jordan’s Steakhouse”. However, their USP is that they are rooted in community and are built on a thirst to take their personal love of fine dining to the masses.

Kelce revealed that the intriguing name, “1587 Prime,” isn’t derived from any significant historical or personal events but was rather chosen as an eye-catching and unique title. “Nope, just a couple of random numbers thrown together,” Kelce explained, dismissing any deeper significance to the numerical choice. However, it may not be as random as he claims. ‘”15″ and “87” happen to be Mahomes and Kelce’s jersey numbers, respectively.
The idea for the steakhouse sprang from a desire to give back to the Kansas City community. Both Kelce and Mahomes have been active participants in community work, and this new restaurant will serve as an extension of their commitment to the area. “Doing things in the community is something that we’re both heavily, heavily involved in,” Kelce noted, emphasizing the duo’s dedication to their off-field roles in Kansas City.
Earlier, Patrick Mahomes had even revealed a special item on the menu.
