Jason Kelce is making a point of shining a spotlight on little-known restaurants in cities he visits, such as Peter May’s House of Kielbasa in Kansas City.
But Kelce will go to a high-profile restaurant when he returns to Kansas City next week as part of ESPN’s coverage of the Chiefs-Commanders “Monday Night Football” game.
During the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, Kelce and his brother, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, talked about going to 1587 Prime steakhouse. That’s the restaurant owned by Chiefs teammates Kelce and Patrick Mahomes.
But there is another place that Travis Kelce wants his big brother to try.
The Peanut.
The Kelce brothers mentioned that Kansas City restaurant in June while talking with Chiefs guard Trey Smith on the podcast.
Smith would so frequently get wings from The Peanut that the staff recognized his voice when he called in an order.
“It got so bad,” Smith said, “that every time I stop in there on Thursday, like, ‘Oh, the usual.’ Or I’ll call them, and they’ll be like, ‘Is this Trey?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah.’ ‘OK, we will see you in about 10 minutes.’”
That is Travis Kelce’s favorite spot for wings in Kansas City, and the Chiefs tight end invited his brother to join him there.
“Jason, I’m telling you,” Travis Kelce said, “you gotta stop through the Peanut at least one time, like next time you’re in KC.”
That would be next week, but the Kelce brothers are already planning to go to 1587 Prime.
1587 talk
One culinary point of contention for the Kelce brothers is mayonnaise, and it came up again on this week’s episode of the podcast.
Jason loves it. Travis hates it.
“I made sure that that thingabobber isn’t on the menu,” Travis Kelce said of his 1587 Prime steakhouse.
Jason objected to that, but Travis said mayo would be available in the kitchen if needed. Travis then talked about some of the menu items.
“You got Andy Reid’s ‘I’ll treat you to a cheeseburger.’ It’s a smash burger,” Travis Kelce said. “Can’t go wrong with that. It’s a wagyu smash burger at that.”
Jason asked what’s on it.
“You can get it with the special sauce. You can get it with ketchup,” Travis Kelce said. “I think it comes with a few sauces that you can pick and choose from.”
The brothers also got in an animated discussion about steaks.
“Obviously the steaks are like the main reason why you’re gonna want to go to 1587 for sure, though,” Travis Kelce said. “You got all the varieties. My favorite is the strip. I like the wagyu strip. I think that’s what’s unique about 1587.”
Travis Kelce suggested his brother try the Japanese A5 NY Strip with truffle butter on top and truffle linguine.
“I like truffle fries,” Jason Kelce. “I don’t like mixing truffle and steaks. Just give me the steak.”
Travis replied: “I’m asking to just do me a favor. Just get it like this. It comes on the side.”
Jason was skeptical but acquiesced.
“I will try it because I love you,” Jason Kelce said. “Well, I’m looking forward to that.”
If Jason Kelce doesn’t like it, they could always get wings at The Peanut afterward.
