The 1587 Prime steakhouse is set to open later this year and the executive chef will have to know how to prepare a world-class steak ... and a cheeseburger.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce are collaborating on the steakhouse, which will be located at the Loews Kansas City hotel at 1515 Wyandotte St.
Mahomes said last year that there will be a cheeseburger on the menu named for Chiefs coach Andy Reid. It’s because the Chiefs stars want to make sure the steakhouse is classy but won’t be too expensive for Kansas City diners.
“We actually thought about that and we don’t want to make it too upscale, too high price, that not everybody can go, so we’re gonna make it a place where hopefully Kansas City can call it home and that everybody can be there and really enjoy it,” Mahomes said a year ago.
There is no opening date for 1587 Prime just yet, but the restaurant is ready to make a big hire.
The Las Vegas-based hospitality group Noble 33, which is working with Mahomes and Kelce on the steakhouse, is looking for an executive chef.
The 1587 Prime steakhouse will be on two floors at Loews Kansas City and will have multiple private dining rooms. That’s per the website where people can apply to be the executive chef.
Here is part of the description of the steakhouse: “1587 Prime is a brand new, immersive and upscale dining experience created by Noble 33 in partnership with Champions and global superstars, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. The modern American steakhouse will be affiliated with the iconic Loews Hotel Kansas City, welcoming guests to indulge in an unparalleled culinary journey spanning nearly 10,000 square feet across two floors. The restaurant will boast multiple private dining rooms, a world-class chef’s kitchen, and a meat display.”
