His Restaurant Alma Nove is Named after Mother
While Mark and Donnie were interested in becoming performers, Paul was passionate about cooking. From a young age, Paul spent time in the family kitchen with his mother, Alma McPeck. During those times, his love for cooking grew even greater and worked in a professional kitchen.
Following his graduation, he worked in several kitchens around Boston, including The Charles Hotel and The Four Seasons. Afterward, he worked at Bridgeman’s in Hull, Massachusetts, where he served as executive chef for nine years.
Departing from Bridgeman’s, Paul opened up his own restaurant, Alma Nove. The restaurant’s name comes from his mother’s name Alma and Nove (nine in Italian) because he was one of 9 siblings. The modern Italian-Mediteranian restaurant is co-owned by Paul, Mark, and Donnie Wahlberg.
Wahlburgers
Wahlburgers was A&E’s reality TV series that ran for 10 seasons. The synopsis of the series reads, “The Wahlberg brothers solve daily kitchen drama as they prepare to expand their successful hamburger restaurant business.”
The series is based on Paul’s casual dining burger restaurant named Wahlburgers, a chain of restaurants that started in Greater Boston town of Hingham, Massachusetts. It follows Paul, Mark, and Donnie’s travels all across the U.S. as they try to explore and decide on how to better run Wahlburgers restaurant.
