It looks like Taylor Swift isn’t the only half of “Traylor” making waves in the food world. Walmart confirmed to TODAY.com that Travis Kelce’s new line of refrigerated entrees, all sold under the brand name “Travis Kelce’s Kitchen,” are now available exclusively in Walmart stores.
Travis Kelce’s Kitchen features seven refridgerated entrees inspired by Kansas City flavors, including many dishes with burnt ends, little charred nuggets of fatty brisket that are a staple of Kansas City barbecue. “With the launch of Travis Kelce’s Kitchen, Kelce aims to share his passion for great food, especially the hearty BBQ that Kansas City is famous for,” a Walmart representative tells TODAY.com via email.
Here’s the full lineup of Travis Kelce’s Kitchen prepared meals:
Bacon Mac & Cheese: This dish includes jumbo macaroni noodles coated in a cheddar cheese sauce infused with juicy bacon morsels.
Brisket Burnt Ends & BBQ Sauce: Slow-cooked and caramelized beef is topped with Kansas City barbecue sauce.
BBQ Baked Beans with Burnt Ends: This dish includes baked black beans and white kidney beans topped with brown sugar, bacon and onions, as well as seasoned beef brisket burnt ends.
Brisket Burnt Ends with Mac & Cheese: Jumbo macaroni coated in a cheddar cheese sauce is paired with charred and seasoned beef brisket burnt ends.
Sliced Brisket in BBQ Sauce: This dish pairs brisket with a smoky Kansas City-style barbecue sauce.
BBQ Baked Beans with Sausage: Smoky barbecue baked black beans and white kidney beans are sweetened with brown sugar and paired with bacon, onions and pork sausage.
Sausage and Meatball Marinara with Peppers and Onions: Sliced pork sausage, pork meatballs and beef meatballs are finished with a marinara sauce sauteed with bell peppers and onions.
Pricing for the dishes varies but starts at $8.17 for the Sliced Pork Sausage BBQ Baked Beans and runs up to $12.78 for meals like the Sliced Brisket in BBQ Sauce and Burnt Ends & BBQ Sauce. If you’re thinking that Kelce’s foray into the world of food is out left field — to borrow from baseball — there have been hints that the Chiefs player is a bit of a gourmand. In 2022, Kelce told Inside Hook about his pregame food rituals and waxed poetic about his favorite barbecue spots.
“I love BBQ, but every pregame meal has been French toast and strawberries since I’ve been on the Chiefs,” he said, adding that he tries to eat at a new BBQ spot in Kansas City once or twice a month — perhaps to research for his new line of prepared meals.
