At Donnie's suggestion, Paul decides to take up woodworking as a hobby to help manage the stress of running the restaurants. Alma, who is terrified Paul is going to hurt himself, insists his older brother Arthur - a carpenter himself - try and protect Paul in the dangerous endeavor. Meanwhile, Mark decides to let Johnny "Drama" and his funk band, perform at the Boston premiere of his new movie. "Drama" gets nervous when he thinks his band may not be up to the task.
"Wahlburgers" goes behind the scenes of one of Boston's most well-known families, the Wahlbergs. Brothers Mark, Donnie and Paul join forces to embark on a hometown-based business venture, a hamburger restaurant that touts the family name.
An homage to their humble beginnings, the restaurant is home base for the gang from the old neighborhood, including Mark's sidekicks, the real Johnny "Drama" and Henry "Nacho" Laun, Paul's trusty assistant Kari Burke and of course, the matriarch of the Wahlberg family, their spirited mother Alma.
