Before Super Bowl LIX, Travis Kelce summed it up perfectly: “I consider [Patrick Mahomes] family.” That bond has powered three rings, countless touchdowns (56, to be precise), and now, Kansas City’s most anticipated steakhouse. Well, do you remember the talks from a year ago about the duo opening a restaurant together? Yeah, the one: if you ever screamed “Let ‘em cook!” during a Chiefs drive, they finally took you literally with 1587 Prime… Interesting name. But one that Missouri would agree upon.
A year ago, in March 2024, Tosh Berman, co-founder of Noble 33, revealed it on the GMA: “Working with Patrick and Travis has been incredible… They are natural hosts and can’t wait to bring a unique modern American steakhouse experience to Kansas City.” Fast forward to now, the steakhouse is officially hiring!
Set to open in Summer 2025, 1587 Prime is a 10,000-square-foot modern steakhouse tucked inside the Loews Hotel. It’s a two-story tribute to the tight end and quarterback’s on-field magic—complete with private dining rooms, a massive wine collection, and what they call a “jaw-dropping meat display.” Subtle nods to their careers? Of course. But the food’s the real flex.
Mahomes and Kelce partnered with Noble 33, the hospitality group, behind high-end dining spots like Toca Madera. Both have been regulars at Noble restaurants, so bringing that experience home felt natural. Mahomes said it best: “It only made sense to bring something special to our own community in Kansas City.” The goal? An immersive steakhouse experience, designed by players who know what elite tastes like.
But now, they’re building a staff to match the fanfare. The restaurant has opened up top-tier roles—general manager, bar manager, and operations manager. These aren’t entry-level gigs. The GM spot, for instance, pays up to $120,000 and comes with full oversight of back-of-house operations, food quality, and staff training. Basically, you’re the quarterback behind the kitchen.
And then, the operations manager, pulling in between $55K and $90K, will steer daily logistics, marketing strategy, and work closely with the exec chef and GM. Applicants need a mix of business acumen and hospitality chops—ideally with 3–5 years in a high-end environment.
As for the bar manager, expect a $70K–$80K salary and full command over the cocktail game. Inventory, training, sales—you’ll handle it all. So, who’s the ideal candidate? Someone who knows wine like Andy Reid knows what clicks when. Bottom line: if you’ve got the resume and the grit, Mahomes and Kelce are ready to let you cook. Like the Chiefs Kingdom is getting ready to watch their 15 and 87 cook in 2025.
But the Chiefs are also securing the life after Travis Kelce
Travis Kelce is coming back for Year 13 to serve as Patrick Mahomes’ security blanket, yet again! But let’s be honest: the Chiefs can’t just run it back forever without a plan. Kelce turns 36 in October and so, Kansas City knows the clock’s ticking. However, leave it to Andy Reid and Brett Veach to think three steps ahead.
The Super Bowl LIX loss stung. The blowout from Philly wasn’t just a scoreboard problem—it exposed cracks. Still, KC didn’t hit panic mode. But that doesn’t mean they’d pull back on the redemption arc, altogether. The offseason’s been about patching up and preparing for the long haul. No massive overhaul, but plenty of forward thinking.
That brings us to the Chiefs thinking ahead and locking in two of their 2022 first-rounders: George Karlaftis and Trent McDuffie. Both were part of that draft class gifted by the Tyreek Hill trade. Plus, both have quietly become cornerstone pieces. Picking up their fifth-year options should have been an easy call.
And it’s not just about keeping the defense stacked. With Kelce’s future uncertain beyond 2025, leadership’s going to shift. Karlaftis and McDuffie are being groomed not just to dominate, but to guide. Offensively, the youth movement is underway.
The draft brought in tackle Josh Simmons, wideout Jalen Royals, and RB Brashard Smith. All full of upside. And all landing in a locker room where Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce still run the show… For now. The baton’s not passed yet, but Kansas is already making sure someone’s ready to take it.
