Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are continuing to build their partnership — off the field.
The prolific quarterback-tight end combo, who together have won three Super Bowl championships, announced Thursday they are working with Las Vegas-based restaurant group Noble 33 to open 1587 Prime. The upscale steakhouse, which gets its name from the pair’s jersey numbers, is set to open in the Loews Kansas City hotel downtown in early 2025.
“Travis and I have become frequent visitors of Noble 33 restaurants in other cities so it only made sense to bring something special to our own community in Kansas City,” Mahomes said in a news release.
Noble 33 restaurants include Toca Madera in three western U.S. cities, Sparrow Italia in London and Meduza Mediterrania in New York.
Mahomes and Kelce have lent more than just their names to the project, said Tosh Berman, a Noble 33 partner.
“Noble 33 is leading the development of the design, experience, menu, and operation, but conceptually, Patrick and Travis’ involvement and input has been instrumental,” he said. “Both of them are longtime regulars of our other restaurants, so a great starting point was bringing elements they loved from those experiences and abstracting them in an original way for 1587 Prime.”
Berman added that the concept could reach beyond Kansas City.
“We do intend on expanding the brand with Patrick and Travis starting with the other cities where we have a significant footprint,” he said.
This isn’t the first food collaboration between Mahomes, 28, and Kelce, 34. Last year, they joined the investment group of Chicken N Pickle, a growing restaurant and sports chains that highlights games including pickleball.
