Famous people get things named after them, such as our famed KC Chiefs players.

The Kelceroni is topped with Soppressata salami, Wisconsin mozzarella cheese, pepperoni that is cupped and charred (I’m not even going to try to guess the correlation).
Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Andy Ried, and the Honey Badger aren’t getting a bridge or boulevard named after them. Instead, they’re being knighted by fans of Chiefs Kingdom by getting sandwiches, hot sauces, cannoli, and cupcakes named after them.
Those Salty KC Chiefs
Salty, spicy, tangy – Chiefs fans enjoy the taste of a win celebrated with great food like the KC Chiefs- themed entrees at The Well, KC Cuts, Scimecas Deli, Spicin’ Foods, and Meshuggah Bagels.

The Well serves a Mahomes sandwich, which features fried mac and cheese, ribeye steak, Swiss cheese, house-made jumbo tater tots, onion rings, cheese curds, and Sriracha ketchup. The tower sandwich is so full of carbs, gluten, and dairy that Tom Brady would never order it.

KC Upper Cuts butcher shop pre-makes hamburger patties themed by KC Chiefs players. The Mahomes burger is filled with three kinds of cheese. The Kelcie’s Hot Hands is extra spicy, just like our favorite tight end himself. The Cheetah is filled with garlic and bacon. You pick, KC Upper Cuts will patty as many as you’d like. KC Upper Cuts are farmers and butchers who have been serving prime beef to the Kansas City community since 2015.
Scimecas Deli is located in an adorable storefront in North Kansas City at 1611 Swift. The family has been operating the deli since 1935 and we love that.
Last Super Bowl Scimecas introduced a “Run It Back” catering menu with sandwiches named The Gamer (Roast Beef, Turkey, Ham, and American Cheese) and The Mahomie Muffaletta (Salami, Pepperoni, hot ham, Mortadella, and Provolone). You can advance order these whole loaf sandwiches for $39.99 each again to honor the Super Bowl run the KC Chiefs are on once again. Give Scimecas a couple of days advance notice for your order when you call (816) 599-6020.
Kelce didn’t make this line-up as he has an equity stake in another hot sauce company.Spicin Foods packages the heat that KC Chiefs’ players bring to the game in a bottle. The Griller’s Series Variety Pack feature’s six KC Chiefs players. According to Spicin’ Foods’ tagline, “Pain is Good.” Our rugged Chiefs players probably would agree.
