Donnie decides to run Wahlburgers for a day to settle an argument with his older brother Paul about who has it tougher. As Paul watches nervously from the sidelines, Donnie's loose managerial style eventually leads to an appreciation for his big brother's attention to detail. Meanwhile, Drama gets another crack at fame when Arthur, the oldest of the Wahlberg brothers, offers him a co-starring role in a new independent film.
"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.
