“Blue Bloods” may be coming to a natural conclusion, but its epic Sunday dinners don’t have to end — not so long as its fans have internet access, a dining-room table, and all of the cookware required by the one Wahlberg brother who doesn’t act.

They've conquered the music charts, the box office and the TV screen, but now the Wahlberg family has their eye on the dinner table. Chef Paul Wahlberg launched the Boston restaurant Wahlburgers along with his actor brothers Donnie and Mark; it was inevitable that a TV series chronicling their culinary adventures would follow. A&E's Wahlburgers, which debuted in January, returns Wednesday for a second season of episodes. Besides the Wahlberg brothers, the show also features family matriarch Alma Wahlberg, as well as childhood buddies Henry "Nacho" Laun and Johnny "Drama" Alves. Executive producer Rasha Drachkovitch (Lockup) filled out our showrunner survey to explain why we should try a taste of Wahlburgers.

Continuing the trend of giving a reality TV show to anyone with a famous face to maximize on low production costs and high audience recognition, Wahlburgers follows the aspiring burger business of Paul Wahlberg, one of the lesser known siblings of actors Donnie Wahlberg and Mark Wahlberg. Much like any other reality TV show out there, Wahlburgers has to do as much as it can with as little substance as possible, and it never really succeeds. Episodes feel like minor happenings that have been stretched and inflated to fill 21 minutes with material that could have been covered in 2. The supposed draw of the series is the interactions between the Wahlberg siblings, their mother, and Mark’s HBO immortalized “entourage”, but even then each episode tries to do too much with far too little and so each of the 9 episodes of the first season feels empty.

Three weeks into Wahlburgers‘ run, A&E has ordered 18 more episodes of the series, double its original order of 9 episodes.

Wahlburgers is produced by 44 Blue Prods.

He's been nominated for two Academy Awards. He's had a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. His latest movie opened to $37 million earlier this month. So why would Mark Wahlberg want to star in a reality show?

"I thought kind of the same thing," executive producer Rasha Drachkovitch tells TVGuide.com.  "It definitely helps that the subject matter is his family and the family business."

That family business, the Hingham, Mass., restaurant Wahlburgers, is the focus of the new A&E reality show of the same name. Premiering Wednesday at 10:30/9:30c, the docu-series follows Wahlberg, along with his two brothers, singer and Blue Bloods star Donnie and chef Paul Wahlberg, in their adventures running a restaurant together.

Wahlburgers, a new reality TV series about a Boston restaurant owned and operated by actor Mark Wahlberg and two of his brothers, sold out tickets to its premiere event on Wednesday.

'Wahlburgers' Premiere Event Sells Out

Mark Wahlberg, along with his New Kids on the Block brother Donnie Wahlberg and chef brother Paul Wahlberg, opened up Wahlburgers burger joint in Hingham, Mass., in 2011. Now the brothers plan to bring their establishment to a bigger audience with an A&E reality series. If the premiere ticket sales are any indication, the Wahlbergs could have a hit on their hands.

The Midwest is currently so cold, boiling water is magically turning into snow, but it's not all doom and gloom out there – there's still midseason TV to look forward to. Once considered the bastard stepchild of scheduling and a ratings sand trap when it came to launching new shows, midseason TV has slowly come into its own. Sure, it may not be as hyped or as glamorous as the fall TV schedule, but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of reasons to tune in. Here are 15 new and returning programs...

They’re getting into the reality television realm, and Mark Wahlberg and his brother Donnie Wahlberg can’t wait to introduce the world to their older brother Paul Wahlberg.

Slated to premiere on A&E on January 22nd at 10:30pm, “Wahlburgers” follows the tight-knit Boston family’s business Wahlburgers, opened in 2011.

Paul is the head honcho at the Hingham, Massachusetts eatery as well as the newer Alma Nove Italian joint, though Donnie and Mark have plenty of input.

Back in November, the New Kids on the Block singer told Arsenio Hall, "It'll be called Wahlburgers, just like the burgers. [People] called us that as kids, they'd tease me, they'd say 'Wahlburger,' if they weren't calling me 'Junior Jailbird,' 'cause of my older brothers being inmates all the time. They'd say, 'Hey, Ronald Wahlburger,' so we got the last laugh and opened a burger joint with the name.

Mark Wahlberg joined his mother Alma Elaine Wahlberg, and his two brothers Donnie and Paul Wahlberg at the grand opening of their new hamburger restaurant, Wahlburgers, in Hingham, Ma yesterday. The famous family has the perfect name for a burger joint, and Paul will serve as the chef at what is sure to be a hot spot in Beantown. Mark is currently between projects since being replaced by Bradley Cooper in David O.Russell's The Silver Lining Playbook, but Wahlberg does have a number of titles coming out in 2012. We were recently treated to the first trailer for Contraband, his upcoming heist movie, and he'll also show off his funny side opposite Mila Kunis in quirky comedy Ted. Mark is also enjoying the success of Boardwalk Empire, which he produces and is currently in the midst of its second season on HBO. View Slideshow ›...

Say hi to your mother freakin' quarter pounder for me!

In today's mouth-watering news you can use, actors Mark and Donnie Wahlberg are teaming with chef brother Paul Wahlberg to open the eponymous Wahlburgers restaurant, which will serve—you guessed it!—hot-off-the-grill hamburgers.

The news comes from the Boston Herald, who report that the brothers had to secure naming rights from a Rochester, N.Y.-based restaurant that already sold something called the "Wahlburger." (Who knew?!) The 4,300 square-foot restaurant is set to open "soon," across from the brother's Italian restaurant, Alma Nove, in Hingham, Mass.

We, for one, can't wait to hang tough with a juicy Wahlburger, but why stop there? Plenty of celebrities have food-friendly names that we could see printed on those little paper placemats. Check out our epicurean suggestions after the jump!

Get ready to never be satisfied by any other restaurant ever again: according to the Boston Herald, Mark Wahlberg’s restaurant Wahlburgers is set to open soon, a joint venture the actor is opening with brother Donnie Wahlberg, among others. Wahlburgers? That’s it. Shut it down. As for as we’re concerned, every other eating establishment on the planet no longer exists (except for Red Lobster, of course, since that name is also completely dead-on).

Reportedly the brothers’ restaurant recently finished securing its amazing title after negotiating with existing burger joint Tom Wahl’s, which sold a “Wahlburger.” Please, please, please let Wahburgers be a theme restaurant where all the waiters are shirtless boxers on brink of collapse. Please let every mother who orders an entree get a free personal hi from chef Paul Wahlberg, Mark and Donnie’s older brother. We didn’t even have to make a joke about that one.

They're the guys who own this establishment. You must be the other guy. Of all the business ideas Donnie and Mark Wahlberg have bandied about, this has to be the most inspired: The famed brothers have licensed the name Wahlburger from Rochester, N.Y.-based fast food chain Tom Wahl's to open their own burger joint in their hometown of Boston. We can imagine the menu already: Anyone for The Right Stuff patty melt?  How about a Sixth Sense salad? Or maybe a Marky Mark milkshake? Per the Boston Herald, the New Kids on the Block singer and The Departed star, along with other brother and chef Paul Wahlberg, heard that Tom Wahl's had sold a product named the "Wahlburger."
