Wahlburgers is an American reality television series that premiered on the A&E network, on January 22, 2014. It is a behind-the-scenes look at the titular chain of restaurants owned by chef Paul Wahlberg and his brothers, Mark and Donnie. On February 10, 2014, A&E ordered an initial order of 18 episodes of Wahlburgers. Through January 11, 2017, the series has run for seven seasons.
Allison Keene of The Hollywood Reporter said that "only a true and abiding love for the Wahlbergs will keep viewers interested." Brian Lowry of Variety said the show is "generally playful, but it is just empty calories". Mark A. Perigard of The Boston Herald gave the show a B-.
In 2014, Wahlburgers received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program.
Donnie Loves Jenny is a reality television series based on the newlywed Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy's relationship and premiered on January 7, 2015.
Wahlburgers is a casual dining restaurant and bar. The original location is in Hingham, a town just outside the Boston area. It is owned by chef Paul Wahlberg in partnership with two of his brothers, actors Donnie and Mark. It is the subject of the television series.
In 2011, an equity group that includes Mark Wahlberg, Donnie Wahlberg, and Paul Wahlberg licensed the name "Wahlburger" from Tom Wahl's for use in their own restaurant. The family also owns and operates another restaurant named Alma Nove, which opened prior to Wahlburgers. Its name is derived from the name of the brothers' mother and the fact that she had nine children ("nove" being Italian for nine).
