Travis Kelce is revealing his ideal Masters menu.
In the Wednesday, April 1 episode of the New Heights podcast, the Kansas City Chiefs star, 36, revealed what his top food options would be at the Masters Club Dinner, informally known as the Champions Dinner, as he and his brother, Jason Kelce, reviewed 2025 Masters Tournament winner Rory McIlroy's choices.
“I mean, honestly, I feel like I go universal. I wouldn't make everybody f—ing pay. I would make everybody enjoy it [with] Mama Kelsey's dinner rolls to start it off,” Travis said. “[Then] I'm going like a little smash burger, maybe some super salty fried chicken … You're in the south, so I feel like there should be some version of, like, southern meal in there.”
“I'm a big mac and cheese guy too. I’d probably go similar to Bubba [Gump Shrimp Co.], but a more updated version for sure,” the NFL star continued. “Maybe not just as simple as that, but the key lime pie is a nice finish.”
“I've always liked the Dairy Queen ice cream cake too,” Travis went on, adding, “I haven't had one in a long time.”

“Grilled elk sliders. Why would you have elk when you just have beef?” said Jason, 38, as the pair continued reading the menu. “Caramelized onion jam. I almost threw up,” said Travis.
“Yellowfin tuna. What the f—?” said Jason. “Grilled chicken breast? Jesus Christ.”
“What’s wrong with grilled chicken breast?” asked Travis. “If [its] a special occasion, we can do better than a grilled chicken breast,” Jason insisted.
