A few years back, Andy’s Frozen Custard introduced a new sweet treat in honor of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

The 87 Concrete is made with Oreos, creme caramel, Oreo, and cookie dough in the company’s frozen custard. A portion of each treat was donated to Kelce’s 87 and Running foundation.

While unsure if he was looking for that particular concoction, Kelce stopped by a Kansas City Andy’s location on Friday and got a treat for himself (Taylor Swift apparently was not with him) while going through the drive-thru. A worker shared a photo of the encounter and wrote: “I had the pleasure of serving and taking @killatrav order tonight! ... Go chiefs ❤️!”

TMZ reported that Kelce left a massive tip for the worker.

This is from that story: “The employee, who owns Hidden Files Studio clothing brand, tells TMZ ... the Kansas City Chiefs star was super ‘down to earth and humble’ and let employees take pics with him. She says he thanked her manager and expressed gratitude for his fans.

“With his $6 custard in hand, we’re told Travis left a fat $90 tip to show his appreciation. ... that’s a 1,500% tip!!!”
