Jason Kelce raved about an iconic Chicago doughnut place on X after calling out the spot on Monday Night Football
A fan who was watching shouted the former NFL player out online for repping the doughnut spot, which according to Kelce, had "the best Apple Fritter" he's ever had
This isn't the first time that Kelce has shared his food recommendations, as he previously shared the restaurants he ate at while driving in North Bend in June
Jason Kelce is sharing another food recommendation — this time from Chicago.
The retired NFL player, 37, raved about Mr. B’s Old Fashioned Donuts in Chicago in a new post on X after a fan “shouted” him “out” for “repping” the iconic doughnut spot while hosting on Monday Night Football.
The fan wrote on X, “Never thought I’d shout out Jason Kelce online, but super dope to see him repping Roseland staple Old Fashioned Donuts (best donut I’ve ever had) on MNF!”
The former Philadelphia Eagles player replied: “Mr. B made the best Apple Fritter I’ve ever had, and I don’t even like Apple Fritters. Old Fashioned Donuts in Chicago is an absolute gem.”
“He opened the place in 1972, [and] hasn’t had an off day since. Turns 87 on Oct, 5th. The workers, the food, it was all just a fantastic experience,” he added.
This isn’t the first time Kelce has shared his food recommendations. He previously revealed in June that he discovered a local restaurant “with a lot of heart” in North Bend, Ore. That restaurant, he revealed, was Mom’s Kitchen, and added that it “did not disappoint.”
“Mom worked the joint for over 40 years, they said, and now one of the chefs run it,” he wrote in the caption.
“Great food, great vibes, felt like Norm from cheers was looking down on us,” Kelce added, referring to the beloved Cheers character played by George Wendt, who died at 76 on May 20.
Alongside the recommendation, the footballer shared a carousel of images showing plates filled with comfort food, including giant pancakes and an omelet and rice combo with hashbrowns and cheese,
“Pancake was enormous, cheese was plentiful, flavors were extreme. You can tell a lot of heart, soul, and salt of the earth has been baked into this place for generations,” he noted before concluding the post, “Definitely recommend.”

Prior to this, he noted that he found another “incredible spot on the side of the road” — Pancake Mill — while driving in North Bend. He noted that the “service was patient, food was great, nick-nacks for sale, adorable, great pancakes, and cream cheese pie.”
It’s no wonder that Kelce is a major foodie, as his mom Donna Kelce, is known for her “famous” homemade cookies which she often makes for her sons, Jason and his brother Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. She notably baked some for ahead of the Super Bowl faceoff in 2023.
She confirmed to PEOPLE that she would bake them again ahead of the Chiefs Super Bowl appearance in February 2025, adding, “Never played a Super Bowl without them."
