Would you buy an expensive steak from a man who dips his in ketchup?

That is, more or less, the question being posed by Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes as he opens a new Kansas City steakhouse with teammate Travis Kelce.

It was the younger Kelce brother who spilled the beans (tomatoes?) on the latest episode of their New Heights podcast by telling older sibling Jason that he has personally witnessed Mahomes adding the cheap condiment to a lavish cut of meat.

When asked about some menu items at the steakhouse, 1587 Prime, Travis suggested that they will 'probably have some of Pat's ketchup.'

And that's not a brand. 'Pat's ketchup' is just a reference to Mahomes' well-known love of the sweet sauce. In 2018, the quarterback signed an endorsement deal with Hunt's, and is known to put it on just about everything.

But an expensive steak? One that could cost as much as a normal person makes over an eight-hour workday?

'He'll get a nice bone-in ribeye, cut it up and dip it in ketchup?' asked Jason.

'It's just what he does,' Travis said. 'He's reeled back on it a lot from what I remember. But I've definitely seen that happen before.'

Kansas City already boasts dozens of steakhouses, but market saturation is apparently of no concern to Kelce and Mahomes, who are opening 1587 Prime in a 10,000-foot space at the Loews Hotel.

Jason, a retired Philadelphia Eagles center, asked if the scene will be similar to the bar owned by his own former teammates, Todd Herremans and Brent Celek.

'Are you guys going to be like Todd Herremans and Brett Celek when they opened their bar in Philly and just allow all these Chiefs players eat for free?' Jason asked.

'Probably not,' Travis countered. 'There will be times when I pick up the bill. I'll pick up the bill, guys. Every now and then.'

The question led to the inevitable discussion of the NFL rookie dinners, in which veteran players run up a large tab, only to pass the bill on to their first-year teammates.

'You guys could survive solely on rookie dinner,' Jason said. 'Do you think there will be a lot of rookie dinners at 1587?'

But much to Jason's surprise, Travis never endured the rookie dinner.

'Jason I never had a rookie dinner,' Travis said.

'They never did that with you?' Jason asked. '[Retired tight end] Anthany Fasano didn't take you out on a rookie dinner?'

'I think we all might have grabbed dinner, but it wasn't like: 'Hey, we're going to dinner and we're going to pig out and get the most expensive alcohol we can and you're gonna pay for it.' It wasn't a situation like that,' Travis said.

Although Jason appears very familiar with the practice, he did object to charging exorbitant bills on rookies' tabs when these are people who should be learning to protect their newfound wealth.

Jason then took a moment to slam the 'ridiculous tradition.'

'I mean it's absurd. Especially the rookies that don't have a lot of money,' he said. 'I guess everybody has a lot of money.

'I feel like the veterans should be imparting wisdom of saving your money and not spending it frivolously on shots of Louis the XIII or whatever the hell that whisky is that costs $200 a shot.'

Otherwise, Travis didn't seem to know much about the plans for 1587 Prime, which is a play on his and Mahomes' jerseys. Or, as the tight, end explained: 'Just a couple of random numbers thrown together.'

They will resist the trend of using wagyu steak, which primarily comes from Japan, and will instead try and source their beef locally, which should be easy given its proximity to many cattle farms.

In describing the restaurant, Travis almost made it sound like a charitable endeavor.

'Honestly, it's always been pretty cool to see the support we get out in Kansas City so we wanted to make sure we showed that love back,' he said. 'Doing things in the community is something we're both heavily, heavily involved in.

'So this time, we wanted to make a restaurant, man,' he continued. 'Why not make one of the coolest steakhouses and one of the best hotels in the city, downtown Kansas City at the Loews? It's gonna be awesome. 

'I can't wait to show Kansas City our love for food and dining experiences, because that's one thing that me, Pat and the gang love to do. We love to just go and just pig out at all the best restaurants in the world. So we thought we'd have our own rendition in Kansas City.'

The menus have not yet been released, but prices are expected to be on the higher side.
