Kansas City is buzzing as NFL superstars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes continue to elevate their high-end steakhouse, 1587 Prime, into one of the hottest dining spots in America. Opened in late 2025 inside the luxurious Loews Kansas City Hotel, the restaurant – named after the duo’s jersey numbers (15 and 87) – has quickly become a celebrity magnet, blending premium steaks with creative twists and superstar flair.

Recently, the team rolled out updates and specials for the new year, capturing massive attention with a standout luxury item: a decadent dish featuring edible gold leaf. While the core menu highlights premium cuts like the massive 40-ounce Wagyu Tomahawk from Snake River Farms (priced at $345) and Japanese A5 Wagyu options, the gold-leaf accent elevates certain appetizers and highlights to ultra-luxe status. Reviews and early reports describe additions like gold-leaf topped Wagyu preparations, caviar-enhanced items, and flambé presentations that scream opulence, pushing individual dishes or enhanced experiences into the high hundreds or even over a thousand dollars when paired with premium add-ons like lobster tails, bone marrow, or tableside service.

This gold-dusted extravagance has sparked frenzy among foodies and Chiefs fans alike. The shimmering edible gold – a hallmark of ultimate indulgence seen in top global restaurants – adds that wow factor, making it perfect for social media shares and special occasions. Combined with signature cocktails like “The Alchemy” (a nod to Taylor Swift fans) and the playful Mahomes ketchup flight, it’s no wonder the spot is drawing crowds.

Demand has exploded since opening. Reservations are notoriously tough to snag, released only 21 days in advance, and often vanish in seconds – leading to rumors of bots scooping them up. As of early 2026, prime slots for experiencing these lavish new year offerings, including the gold-leaf spotlight dish, are booked solid well into spring, with many reporting no availability until March or beyond. The restaurant’s popularity, fueled by the owners’ fame and glowing reviews of its ambiance, service, and food quality, has turned it into a must-visit destination.

1587 Prime sources its beef meticulously, from local ranches to international Wagyu powerhouses, ensuring top-tier flavor. Appetizers like lobster rolls with osetra caviar and Wagyu carpaccio set the tone, while sides such as truffle fries and the loaded twice-baked potato complete the feast. For seafood lovers, twin lobster tails or diver scallops provide alternatives to the steak focus.

The New Year’s push included “Primetime Celebrations” with live music, champagne upgrades, and specialty cocktails, transitioning seamlessly into 2026 specials that highlight this golden luxury. It’s not just a meal; it’s an event – buttery, bold, and unapologetically extravagant.

Whether you’re a football fan or a fine-dining enthusiast, 1587 Prime delivers on the hype. But if you want to try that glittering gold-leaf creation yourself, you’ll need patience – or connections. The waitlist is real, and this Chiefs-backed gem shows no signs of cooling off anytime soon.
