Revealing a special dish created by Patrick’s own daughter that will appear on the restaurant’s dessert menu that you should definitely try!
It was supposed to be just another quiet afternoon at 1587 Prime, the much-anticipated upscale steakhouse set to open next month under the leadership of NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes. But what happened yesterday left the entire culinary team speechless—and perhaps reshaped the dessert menu forever.
Mahomes, known for his dazzling playmaking on the field, decided to bring along his young children, including 4-year-old daughter Sterling, to tour the restaurant and meet the chefs preparing for opening day. None of the seasoned professionals in the kitchen could have predicted what came next.
A Surprise Visit Turns into a Sweet Revelation
Witnesses say Mahomes entered the restaurant with his trademark smile, carrying Sterling on one arm as she peered curiously at the gleaming countertops and bustling kitchen staff. Head Chef Marco D’Angelo, a veteran of Michelin-starred kitchens, greeted the family warmly before giving them a behind-the-scenes tour.
“Patrick was so proud—he wanted to show his kids where Dad’s big project was coming to life,” D’Angelo shared. “We were prepared to impress him with a tasting menu. We had no idea we were about to be the ones impressed.”
As the chefs plated up samples of signature entrées—wagyu beef cuts, truffle mashed potatoes, and lobster bisque—Sterling’s attention drifted toward the dessert station. According to staff, the little girl’s eyes lit up at the sight of strawberries, cream, and an assortment of pastry ingredients laid out for testing new recipes.
“She just pointed and said, ‘Can I make something?’” recalled pastry chef Elena Martínez. “At first, we thought it was cute—like she might stack a few berries on a plate. But then she started giving instructions. Real instructions.”
Sterling’s Creation: Touchdown Sundae Supreme
With a seriousness that belied her age, Sterling reportedly asked for vanilla bean ice cream, fresh strawberries, a drizzle of caramel, and—most surprising of all—a sprinkle of crushed candied pecans dusted with cinnamon. She insisted the sundae be topped with a delicate puff pastry shaped like a football.
“I didn’t even know we had cinnamon pecans prepped,” Martínez laughed. “But she found them. She said they ‘made it taste like Christmas.’ I mean, what 4-year-old talks like that?”
The team followed her lead, curious to see where this was going. When the dessert was assembled, Sterling clapped her hands and proclaimed it ready. Mahomes himself was the first to try it.
“Patrick took one bite,” said D’Angelo, “and he just looked at us like, ‘This is incredible.’ Then the rest of us tried it… and yeah, she wasn’t wrong. It was perfect—sweet, warm, a little crunchy. Completely balanced. We were stunned.”
A Star Is Born—In the Kitchen
By the end of the visit, the culinary team had made an unprecedented decision: Sterling’s creation, now officially dubbed the Touchdown Sundae Supreme, would appear on the 1587 Prime dessert menu when the restaurant opens.
“We’ve had guest chefs before,” Martínez said, shaking her head in disbelief. “But never a guest chef in pigtails.”
Mahomes couldn’t hide his pride. “She’s got the creativity gene, I guess,” he told reporters later. “Football might be my thing, but maybe the kitchen will be hers.”
The Buzz Builds Ahead of Opening Day
News of the impromptu culinary collaboration spread quickly after a staff member posted a photo of Sterling’s dessert on social media. Within hours, food bloggers and Chiefs fans alike were buzzing about the unexpected menu addition. Some even speculated that the Touchdown Sundae Supreme could become the restaurant’s signature item.
1587 Prime, named after Mahomes’ jersey number and the year Kansas City was founded, is set to combine luxury dining with approachable Midwestern warmth. Now, thanks to Sterling, it also promises a touch of family charm.
“We can’t wait for guests to try it,” D’Angelo said. “Who knows? Maybe she’ll come back and design the whole dessert menu someday.”
As for Sterling, when asked if she planned to make more dishes, she simply grinned and said, “Maybe… after preschool.”
With opening day just weeks away, one thing is certain: Patrick Mahomes may be the MVP on the field, but at 1587 Prime, a 4-year-old sous chef just stole the show.
