Jason KelceandTravis Kelceare passionate about Thanksgiving food.
In a segment where thebrothersanswer fan-submitted questions, one listener asked, “Since Thanksgiving is around the corner, what’s your favorite dish? And what is one that you absolutely hate?”
Jason, 36, suggests that they take things “one step further” and rank classic Thanksgiving side dishes.
“Travis is super picky,” the Eagles center adds, and Travis, 34, agrees. But a particular palate isn’t the only thing that caused a stir attheir family’s Thanksgivings.

“Our Thanksgivings always ended in tears, with Travis at the table and Dad screaming at him,” Jason explains.
“Mom and Dad, I’m thankful,” Travis says while fake-crying and Jason mocks their father, Ed Kelce. “Eat the food! Be thankful!” he yells in a low voice.

After joking around, Jason gets back to business and answers that his “must-haves” are “Mama Kelce’s dinner rolls, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, corn and some type of meat.”
But the father of three isn’t talking about turkey. “I think turkey has to be there but if I’m not lying, we were always a big pork chop family growing up and I think pork chops taste better than turkey, if I’m being honest," says Jason.
“I’m going ham. Honey baked ham,” Travis says, immediately prompting Jason to exclaim that he would like to change his answer to that. In true brotherly fashion, Travis jokes with Jason it’s too late to add the “best” dish to his list. Travis seconds Jason’s compliments to motherDonna Kelce’s dinner rolls and says mac and cheese is a favorite of his, too.
But as a true picky eater, theChiefs tight endsays the rest of the list is “tricky” for him. “Everything else is like, whatever,” he says, adding that Hawaiian rolls are also good with the honey baked ham.

The brothers shared the same least-favorite Thanksgiving staple as kids: turkey. But Travis’ list of Turkey Day dislikes goes on.
“I’m out on stuffing, I’m out on casseroles, I’m out on cranberry sauce,” Travis says.
Jason is a changed man, he explains, and says that he likes turkey with cranberry sauce and wants to try deep frying a turkey this year.
“Have you ever deep fried a turkey?” Jason asks Travis, who scoffs in response.

“Look at me,” he answers. “No. I’ve never cooked a turkey in my life.”
This year won’t be the time for Travis to try, as he says he will be “feasting on KFC because [he] won’t have anybody here” on Thursday, despite fans' wishful speculations that he might spend the holiday withTaylor Swift.
But Jason suggests that Travis travels from Kansas City to Pennsylvania to celebrate the holiday with him and his wife,Kylie, andtheir three kids.
“If you wanna make a quick trip, you’re welcome at my house, Trav,” Jason offers to him.
“Thanks, man,” Travis happily accepts. “That’s exactly what I wanted to do this week.”
As the brothers reminisced on how frequently they’ve celebrated the holiday with their teammates and teammates' families since playing football in college — they both played at the University of Cincinnati — Travis also revealed that he and the Chiefs had a “friendsgiving” celebration over the weekend.
“We had our Friendsgiving on Saturday,” he told Jason of his reigning Super Bowl champion team. “It was awesome.”
