Kansas City’s New Steakhouse 1587 Prime Set to Open Amidst NFL Hype
Look, I don’t want to be the one to say this, but when you throw together two NFL superstars like Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, it was only a matter of time before they decided to dip their toes into the restaurant business. Enter 1587 Prime, a steakhouse that’s not just a culinary venture but a shrine to their football prowess, conveniently located in the glitzy Loews Kansas City Hotel. The grand opening is set for summer 2025, which, I guess, means the anticipation needs to simmer for a while longer.
The name “1587” isn’t just some random number pulled out of a hat; it’s a clever mashup of their jersey numbers. You know, just in case you forgot who you’re dealing with. The restaurant is set to offer “multi-sensory dining experiences” and private dining rooms galore. Because what better way to enjoy a steak than in a room that whispers sweet nothings about how great you are? Not to mention, there’s going to be a “jaw-dropping” meat display—because nothing screams fine dining like a bunch of hanging steaks.
This whole idea first started making waves back in March 2024, with the initial buzz suggesting an “early 2025” opening. But as time has dragged on, we’ve all been left here waiting for updates like we’re at the DMV. At least now we have a clearer timeline, thanks to Kelce’s exclusive chat with PEOPLE. He described this venture as an “unbelievable opportunity” to give back to a city that loves its food as much as its football. You can almost hear the collective eye-roll from the food critics.
Kelce, who’s been keeping himself busy after the Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss to the Eagles earlier this year, seems to think this steakhouse will be a game-changer. Meanwhile, Mahomes echoed sentiments of community spirit, citing their regular visits to Noble 33 restaurants in other cities as the catalyst for bringing something special back home. Sure, because what Kansas City really needed was another steakhouse to compete with the other 200 in town.
So, as we all sit here, twiddling our thumbs and waiting for summer 2025, one can’t help but wonder: will this restaurant live up to the hype, or will it just be a glorified meat locker with overpriced steaks? Only time will tell, but I’m not holding my breath. And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
