Yum!
Mark and Donnie Wahlberg -- along with their chef brother, Paul -- are reportedly opening a hamburger restaurant in Hingham, Mass. According to the Boston Herald, the trio has finally secured the name Wahlburgers, which had previously been trademarked.
"It just works," Ed St. Croix, the Wahlbergs' business partner, told the Herald. "It's a good sounding brand we could put out the product with, a great name people could relate to."
St. Croix said the restaurant's ownership approached Tom Wahl's, a Rochester, NY-based chain of burger joints, after they discovered it sold a product called the "Wahlburger."

Now the Wahlburgers' group has secured "full spectrum" use of the name, according to St. Croix. "It worked out well for both sides," he said.

14Yes! I would! Yummy!!!!!
I'd host an open mic at their restaurant if they'd like to add live music...!!
Can I order me some Donnie on the side? ;)
I hope it is better than Alma Nove. The atmosphere was great asz was the company. The food, however, was just ok and definately not worth what I paid for it. On a brighter note, the dessert (I had the carrott cake) was excellent.
That didn’t stop the three brothers as their business partner, Ed St. Croix explained to the Boston Herald. http://bit.ly/nujoZ5
Yes, I will eat Wahlburgers. I don't lived in Mass. So, I don't know, when. Unless, they open Wahlburgers around the state. I lived in Michigan.
"Wahlburgers", huh? Well its better than Marky Mark's Funky Burger, or New Burger on the Block...
Heck ya I would eat there! Bring it to Canada!!
Hopefully they put themselves on the menu! Lol.
hell yes i would eat there!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ditto to Milena. If I had the chance to even see them from afar by eating even the crappiest burger on earth, I would totally eat there.
I know some great names for their specialty burgers "The Donnie Deluxe", or the "Marky Mark Mega Burger" Loaded with toppings, cheese, onions,etc.
yes, I would eat at any of their restaurants if I lived in the area...esp. since they are putting their name on it...I don't think they would give anyone bad food.
I would eat *anything* the Wahlburgers are serving!! YUM, YUM. :)
