Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid had a meal to remember before Super Bowl LVIII thanks to celebrity chef Guy Fieri.

During an appearance on the "Y's Guys" podcast, Reid revealed that Fieri provided him and his coaching staff with cheeseburgers while they were in Las Vegas preparing for the big game.

"One of the best cheeseburgers I've ever had was from Guy Fieri at the Super Bowl, this past Super Bowl," Reid said. "We were practicing at the Raiders facility there and Guy has a restaurant - he's got a few restaurants out in Las Vegas, that's where he went to UNLV there. So he called me and he said, 'Hey, I want to bring you and your coaches over some cheeseburgers.'

"I never turn a cheeseburger down, so I said, 'Alright, bring it on.' So he brought over a bunch of cheeseburgers for myself and the coaches. That was like the best cheeseburger I've ever had. I've got to talk to him and see what the recipe was."

The Chiefs went on to defeat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 and capture their second straight Super Bowl championship and third in the last five years. Reid celebrated the win with a cheeseburger, which has become something of a tradition for him.

Reid, who's entering his 12th season with the Chiefs, signed a multi-year contract extension this offseason that will keep him in Kansas City through 2029.
