Wahlburgers is another must-visit spot on our Burger Trail.  The restaurant comes from one of three brothers, each of whom went on different career paths. Donnie, one of the brothers, founded the most well-known boy band in history. Mark, the younger brother, rose to become one of the most prominent actors in history.

Paul also cherished his family and cuisine. However, he was not content with cooking for only them and desired to provide meals for each person’s family. He yearned for more, so he came up with Wahlburgers. Chef Paul has a wealth of experience creating meals that bring people together, having cooked in their family kitchen as a youngster, attending culinary school, and working in fine dining establishments.
