Jason Kelce Spotlights Chicago’s Old Fashioned Donuts on ESPN

His on-air praise elevated a Roseland fixture known for Burritt Bulloch’s decades of work.

Overview

  • Kelce wore an Old Fashioned Donuts T-shirt on Monday Night Countdown from Soldier Field and later called its apple fritter the best he has ever had in a post on X.
  • The shout-out came after a fan highlighted his shirt on social media, prompting Kelce to credit owner Burritt “Mr. B” Bulloch and share details about the shop’s origins.
  • Old Fashioned Donuts has operated since 1972 under Bulloch, whose granddaughter’s viral TikTok earlier this year drew new visitors to the Roseland bakery.
  • During the Chicago visit, Kelce stopped at Nisei Lounge and Jake Melnick’s Corner Tap, where he ate wings and was photographed with Garage Beer, a brand he co-owns with his brother.
  • Kelce has been publicly sharing food finds for months, previously recommending Mom’s Kitchen and Pancake Mill in North Bend, Oregon.
