"When Chef Paul set out to create a family restaurant, things quickly got interesting. See, Paul’s a Wahlberg — and the Wahlberg’s are no ordinary family. One brother, Donnie, didn’t just join the school band as a kid. He created one of the most famous boy bands in the world. His older brother, Mark, didn’t just take drama. He became one of the most famous actors in the world. And for Paul, well, he loved food and his family. But he wasn’t satisfied cooking for just them. He wanted to cook for everyone else’s family too. He was hungry for something more. So, Paul and his family created Wahlburgers...
