Is 1587 Prime already in trouble? Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce hit with lawsuit as critic shreds their steakhouse
Summary
Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are dealing with challenges for their Kansas City steakhouse, 1587 Prime, as they face both a federal trademark lawsuit and a scathing review. A sneaker company, 1587 Sneakers, alleges trademark infringement, claiming the restaurant's name conflicts with their existing brand, particularly as both entities sell apparel. The lawsuit highlights a potential lack of due diligence by Mahomes and Kelce's team before launching the restaurant.
Simultaneously, food critic Liz Cook delivered a critical review of 1587 Prime, questioning the quality of the steaks, service, and overall value, describing it as a “parched vision of luxury.” Cook specifically criticized the high prices for items like ketchup and a Taylor Swift-themed cocktail.
Despite the negative press, the restaurant continues to attract customers due to the celebrity ownership. However, the future of the brand remains uncertain as it navigates the legal battle and attempts to overcome its early reputation.
