Mahomes’s comment came ahead of another milestone moment for the quarterback, who recently helped Kansas City beat the Los Angeles Chargers, tying an NFL record with Tom Brady for 100 regular-season victories in 131 starts. He noted that while he enjoys a range of KC barbecue spots, the Z-Man sandwich at Joe’s Kansas City Bar-B-Que is the standout for him. “I don’t know if that’s controversial or not, but I enjoy them all,” he explained. “I eat Jack Stack a lot. I go to Q39, Arthur Bryant’s. I’ve tried all of them and I like them all. So don’t get me wrong, but that one thing that I enjoy the most is the Z-Man from Joe’s.”
This latest food insight adds to Mahomes’s history of sharing his tastes with fans. He previously discussed his fondness for ketchup, including a pairing with macaroni and cheese that drew attention in 2018. He explained that while some found it odd, it works for him, and that enthusiasm helped him land an endorsement with Hunt’s.
In football terms, Mahomes continued to build on a milestone by delivering a strong performance in the win over the Chargers, completing 23 of 30 passes for 272 yards. Kenneth Walker III contributed 128 rushing yards and two touchdowns, and Kansas City’s defense held the Chargers to six points with four sacks of quarterback Justin Herbert. After the game, Mahomes reflected on how his approach to winning has evolved. He emphasized that while big stats are nice, sometimes the game requires not forcing plays when the defense is playing well, and he stressed the importance of enjoying the process, practices, and the opportunity to compete at Arrowhead Stadium. He noted that cherishing victories is important because the arc of a career isn’t guaranteed.
This update captures Mahomes’s culinary preferences and his continued, measured approach to success on the field.
