In the throwback reel, captioned, "No better day to pull out some of @killatrav’s greatest hits," Travis Kelce is seen interacting with a Chiefs assistant on the sidelines about a rather unusual dinner request.

Kelce is seen sporting a longer hairstyle, asking the assistant to call his mother, Donna Kelce.

"Can you call my mother for me from that phone right there?" Travis asks, adding that he doesn’t want the usual macaroni and cheese but something special.

"Tell her that I don't want the macaroni and cheese with the regular noodles. I want the gnocchi," Kelce tries to confirm in the clip whether the pronunciation is correct and the assistant responds with "Ganache."

The assistant replies that he's unsure if he can make the call from the sideline, but Kelce continues with his request, eventually settling on “ganache” to which the assistant says, "I will get right on it."

He then repeats his request, saying, “Yeah, not the regular noodles. The ganache noodles," as the assistant replies, "I got you."

Donna Kelce shares her sons’ voracious appetites

Donna Kelce, who is no stranger to feeding hungry football players, recalled her sons' eating habits in an interview with People.

Kelce and his older brother, Jason Kelce, known for his career with the Philadelphia Eagles, had enormous appetites growing up.

"They ate a lot," Donna said of her kids, adding that each could eat an entire chicken by themselves in high school.

Donna also mentioned the challenge of keeping milk in the house.
