Jason Kelce is taking his new name in stride.
Taylors Boyfriends Brother received a warm welcome from the Chicago restaurant, The Wieners Circle, as he entered and placed an order on Thursday, November 9. The restaurant's official Instagram account shared a photo of the sign that read "Welcome Taylors Boyfriends Brother" with the caption "Mean (Wiener Circles Version)" and showed Jason, 36, wearing a The Wieners Circle T-shirt. In addition, a video captured Jason engaging in a conversation about football with one of the employees while inside the hot dog stand.
Jason was accompanied by Thursday Night Football analyst Andrew Whitworth in anticipation of the Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers game later that evening. Before his trip to Chicago, Jason disclosed that he would be featured on the Prime Video Thursday Night Football broadcast.
"I'm really excited, it's going to be a great time," he expressed on the "New Heights" podcast on Wednesday, November 8. Jason co-hosts the podcast alongside his brother, Travis Kelce. "Usually, people visit warmer destinations during their time off, but we're opting for Chicago, something a bit unconventional."

Jason appeared unbothered by his new nickname, which comes as Travis, 34, continues to make headlines for his relationship with Taylor Swift.
The relationship between Travis and Swift, 33, started to intensify in September after a missed encounter at her Eras Tour back in July. Their connection truly ignited when Travis extended an invitation for Swift to attend one of his Kansas City Chiefs football games, and she was spotted in the crowd.
Since then, Swift has been seen at several more of Travis' games. However, they are now faced with the challenge of maintaining a long-distance relationship as Swift has officially begun the South American leg of the Eras Tour.
“Travis and Taylor are an authentic couple, dedicating a significant amount of quality time to each other and nurturing a genuine bond,” a source exclusively revealed earlier this week. “They have meticulously devised plans to maintain their relationship while she embarks on tour and he focuses on his games.”

Swift kicked off her three-day stint in Buenos Aires last night and will grace audiences in Rio de Janeiro and São Paolo as November draws to a close.
Enjoying a well-deserved bye week, Travis subtly suggested taking a breather in a location "near the equator." (Travis' NFL calendar resumes on Monday, November 20, when the Chiefs face off against the Eagles.)
"I might as well say 'screw it' and take off to a beautiful destination, who knows," he jokingly mentioned in Wednesday's episode of "New Heights." "My complexion is becoming unnaturally pale. I really need to soak up some sunshine."
Nevertheless, on Thursday, he decided to stay in Kansas City to support his teammate Patrick Mahomes at the third 15 and the Mahomies Foundation Gala. Although Swift couldn't make it to the event, her spirit was present as she generously donated a framed platinum record with an authentic autograph, according to an Instagram post shared by Optimal Fundraising Group on Thursday.
During the Thursday Night Football broadcast, Jason playfully hinted at Travis' forthcoming travel plans. He jokingly mentioned that it's always something different each week and expressed confidence that Travis will make an appearance somewhere during his bye week. Jason amusingly acknowledged that Travis deliberately keeps him out of the loop because he knows that Jason tends to speak a bit too much these days, attracting excessive media attention. Drawing a comparison, he likened Travis' unpredictability to the elusive character Carmen Sandiego—Travis will surely surprise everyone by showing up in some unexpected location.
