Mark Wahlberg Talks Of Upcoming Reality Show Based On Burger Joint

By Ikam Acosta

Watch out, Bostonians. There will soon be a new burger joint on the block.

Mark Wahlberg is teaming up with NKOTB brother Donnie Wahlberg and chef brother Paul for his latest business venture, a reality show. The show will be based on the opening of their new high-end burger restaurant outside of Boston, cleverly named Wahlburgers.

Their plan had screeched to a halt earlier this year when they found out a Rochester area restaurant had a Wahlburger on their menu, but they bought the trademark rights from the owner, Tom Wahl. The brothers are also talking about opening up a pizza joint sometime in the spring, but no word on what clever name has been decided on as of yet.

Restaurants aren't the only business venture in the works for the brothers. Wahlberg also wants to start a clothing line and would also like to open a health and wellness business to get people in shape. They're going to need it after eating all those hamburgers!

When Wahlburgers opens its doors in 2012 we will all have a chance to go behind the scenes of the brothers' burger joint and get a closer look at this entrepreneurial family. Don't expect to see Marky Mark in front of the camera, though. Mark explains he will only lend his voice to the show and jokes of being the "'Charlie's Angels' of reality TV."

Wahlburger's will be located in Hingham, Massachusetts, next to Paul's Italian restaurant, Alma Nove, named after their mother. I can't wait to see what delicious creations Marky Mark and the Burger Bunch make with America's favorite fast food.

Will you be stopping in for a burger if you're ever in the area?
