Attention football fans: we are inching closer and closer to the official start of the NFL season every minute! With the final preseason games behind us, it’s time to start thinking about your menu for the first kickoff—or, better yet, where you’ll be watching the game so you don’t actually have to cook.
I know I love making tailgate bites every so often, but there’s just something about watching your favorite team amongst other fans at a sports bar that takes the experience up a notch. And, if you’ve ever listened to footballing brothers Jason and Travis Kelce’s podcast, “New Heights,” then you already know about the sports bar for all your gameday needs.
Can you hear Jason chanting, “Let’s go sports bar!”—the tagline for Buffalo Wild Wings—too?
Jacon Kelce Teams Up With Buffalo Wild Wings
If we thought the former Philadelphia Eagles Center Jason Kelce went on a number of side quests last season—from chugging beers and breaking tables at the Buffalo Bills vs. Kansas City Chiefs game to recording his second Christmas album with his Eagles teammates—then we can’t wait to see what the newly retired Super Bowl winner will get up to this season.
Kelce’s already signed on to be a broadcaster for ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown,” which is the path many ex-footballers, like JJ Watt, typically take. However, with a one-day-per-week broadcasting commitment, it’s only natural that he’d expand his horizons to even more business ventures.
During the off-season, the Kelce brothers announced they purchased Garage Beer and teamed up with General Mills for a new “Kelce Mix” cereal. Now, Jason is stepping out on his own for a season-long partnership with Buffalo Wild Wings.
Jason Kelce’s Go-To Buffalo Wild Wings Order
Seeing as he won’t be spending Sundays on the football field, Kelce teamed up with B-Dubs to curate a menu of his favorites, aka Kelce’s Picks, and they’re the perfect pairing for watching your favorite games.

Kelce’s go-to game-day order is the Triple Bacon Cheeseburger, which starts with two hand-smashed patties topped with thick-cut bacon (Kelce’s preferred cut), American cheese, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and bacon aioli on a challah bun, plus an order of 10 traditional wings. He doubles down on the bacon flavor with B-Dubs’ new Buffalo Bacon sauce on the wings for a smoky, savory heat.
His “Kelce’s Picks” will be noted on the Buffalo Wild Wings menu through football season—so you, too, can eat like a future Hall of Famer, in addition to the Dippin’ Dots and Burger King Double Whopper with cheese we’ve already known he loves.
Kelce’s Buffalo Wild Wings partnership will include a few ad spots that you’ll likely see during your football game’s commercial breaks—in between Patrick Mahomes’ State Farm ads and Travis’ new Experian spot. Additionally, Homage, the apparel retailer that has previously worked with the Kelce brothers, is releasing a limited-edition t-shirt featuring Jason and the Buffalo Wild Wings’ mascot, Hank, chanting, “Let’s go sports bar,” with a portion of all proceeds benefiting Kelce’s charity (Be)Philly.
That’s it: my game-day plans have been decided.
