You can take the boy out of Texas, but you can’t take Texas out of the boy.
Patrick Mahomes has been a member of the Chiefs for five years, but he clearly has never lost sight of his Texas roots. Now, the former Texas Tech star has brought a Lone Star State icon to Kansas by opening the first-ever Whataburger franchise in the state.
The popular San Antonio-based fast food chain made its debut in Kansas City, Mo., last year, but Mahomes now owns the first location in the Sunflower State. The Chiefs quarterback visited those Kansas City locations in 2021 incognito, perhaps to gather intel for his eventual business venture.
