Wahlburgers: Mark Wahlberg And His Brothers Land A Burger Joint Reality Show

January 25, 2013 by Emil Elm

The History Channel has produced some of the most riveting television on cable, and now they hope to eat the ratings alive with a Wahlburgers reality show.

Wahlburgers is a restaurant that is owned by Mark Wahlberg and his brothers Paul Wahlberg and Donnie Wahlberg and is located in Hingham, Massachusetts, right outside of Boston.

The New York Daily News had this to say about the show: “Wahlburg brothers Mark, Donnie, and chef sibling Paul, have begun filming on a reality TV show that will follow the entrepreneurial family as they build their burger brand, aptly named Wahlburgers.”

Wahlburgers restaurant has already seen its share of drama thanks to a lawsuit alleging that ex-manager Ed St. Croix did an “abysmal” job, and the arrest of CEO Rick Vanzura for midday drunk-driving, both of which could add to the tension of the day-to-day stress and adventures that come with operating a restaurant.

In a tweet to fans earlier in the week, the Wahlbergs made it clear that they were indeed shooting a reality show: “Film crew will be in the restaurant on and off for the next 3 to 4 days shooting for our reality show! Stop in for some grub!”

The hamburgers at Wahlburgers are created from a blend of chuck brisket, short rib, and can be topped with blue cheese, caramelised onions, bacon, homemade pickles and onions, sauteed mushrooms, avocado and chili.

The Wahlberg brothers hope the reality show will assist them in their pursuit of expanding the brand across the United States, starting of course with Boston.
