Mahomes replied, saying he’d love to try one.

Talk of the Mahomes’ condiment preference surfaced in a story from ESPN on Wednesday where the young quarterback revealed he likes ketchup on everything — including steaks. But now that he’s famous, he now gets too embarrassed to order it in public.

That spurred the popular fast food chain to offer to send him a gift basket of their ketchup.
“I just want a store in Kansas City!” the 23-year-old responded.
Sure to fuel further dreams and speculation, Whataburger had this response:
We already slid in his DMs
