Career

Renowned Chef

Wahlberg had a keen interest in food from a young age, and spent most of his childhood in the kitchen with his mother Alma, and watching cooking shows such as “The Galloping Gourmet”. When he was 12, he fell in love with food over a meal at a friend’s house, and eventually decided to pursue a career as a professional chef.

‘There’s a kind of energy working in a kitchen that is very, very different from working in an office… It’s not like any other job. It’s crazy and you’re always putting out [figurative] fires’, he said of the decision. He worked as a caterer while he was still in high school, and washed dishes in the restaurant of his friend’s family. After matriculation, he gained valuable experience attending Newbury College for culinary arts, and working at a number of restaurants such as “The Four Seasons”, “The Charles Hotel” and “Bridgeman’s” in Hull, Massachusetts, where he was the Executive Chef for nine years. He was also a caterer on two sets of Mark’s films – “Max Payne” and “The Happening” – as well as many other films.

Eventually, he gained enough experience and expertise in the field and opened his own restaurant named Alma Nove— “Nove” is the Italian word for nine, the number of children his mother has— in Boston. It is a Mediterranean/ Italian-influenced restaurant that includes classic dishes like sautéed Prince Edward Island mussels, wood-grilled sirloin steak and braised pork meatballs with polenta. Paul supports local grocers by using their fresh ingredients in his meals, and serving seafood fresh from the sea.

In 2011, he partnered with Mark and Donnie to open “Wahlburgers”, a casual dining burger restaurant and bar based in Hingham, Boston near Alma Nove, boasting the ‘… sloppiest Sloppy Joe’s, the tastiest tater tots, and the frothiest frappes’.

Following the success of the restaurant, the brothers opened up more chains in the US, Canada, the UK and Germany with a total of 36 chains.

Reality TV Star

In 2014, the brothers launched a series on the A&E Network entitled “Wahlburgers”, showcasing the Wahlberg family, their lives behind the scenes, and the handling of the restaurant. Initially the series was set to run for 18 episodes but due to popular demand, it went on for 10 seasons and 95 episodes. It received an Emmy nomination for the “Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program” award; after five years of airing, it came to an end on the 31^st July 2019 in Dorchester, where it all began.

It was followed by the spin-off “Donnie loves Jenny”, based on Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy’s newlywed relationship.
