Last month Kansas City Chiefs’ stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce announced they’ll be opening a steakhouse with restaurant chain Noble 33, with a mock-up of the eatery appearing to hit social media.
Although 1587 Prime—a nod to Mahomes and Kelce’s jerseys—isn’t expected to open until early 2025, an Instagram account for the Kansas City joint already seems to be live.
The account, @1587prime, is followed by Mahomes’ official Instagram, suggesting the page is legit.
The account has posted nine pictures so far, each a segment of a larger image. Joined together, the squares show a swanky, mid-century modern-inspired restaurant with wooden floors, minimalistic furniture, and bold, geometric lighting fixtures.
Decorated with warm red and brown tones, the illustration shows leather booths, velvet curtains and champagne on ice.
Each square has the same caption: “A modern American steakhouse by Noble 33, Patrick Mahomes, and Travis Kelce coming to Kansas City in early 2025.”
The page’s biography tags Mahomes and Kelce’s official Instagram accounts, @patrickmahomes and @killatrav.
Newsweek reached out to Patrick Mahomes via Instagram and Travis Kelce and Noble 33 via email for comment.
Mahomes and Kelce have proven to be a winning combination on and off the field. The Chiefs’ quarterback has previously described Kelce as a “brother,” with the 34-year-old tight end a groomsman in Mahomes’ 2022 wedding to wife Brittany.
“His family and my family have almost become one family,” Mahomes told ESPN’s Jeff Darlington in 2023. “Because the relationship that we have, and how we’ve kind of become these brothers on the football field.”
Brittany Mahomes is also friends with Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift. The entrepreneur and pop star were spotted hanging out multiple times last season, cheering on the Chiefs’ during games and going on nights out with the other players wives and girlfriends.
When Mahomes joined the Chiefs in 2017, Kelce helped him to find his feet. After bumping into the 28-year-old and his fellow rookies while partying, Kelce invited the newcomer to join him and his pals, sparking a beautiful friendship.
Mahomes shared the story during a 2022 episode of the New Heights podcast, which Kelce co-hosts with his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, adding that they were both late to the team walkthrough the following day.
“I was like, ‘Dope, I’m not alone! Let’s go, man,'” Kelce joked during the show. “At that point, I knew we were teammates.”
Kelce has sung Mahomes’ praises from day one. In an interview with Newsweek in February, Kelce’s high school football coach, Damion Creel, recounted a conversation with the football star in 2018, a year after Mahomes joined the Chiefs.
“I said, ‘Trav, is this Patrick Mahomes the dude?'” Creel said. “He said, ‘Creel, wait till I tell you: He is the dude.'”
“That was before Patrick did anything,” Creel added. “[Kelce] told me then. He said, ‘Watch out. Watch out. He’s the dude.'”
