Fans of the A&E reality show “Wahlburgers” will soon be able to enjoy the celebrity burgers in D.C
Wahlburgers, led by executive chef Paul Wahlburg, brother of film star Mark Wahlburg, will open its first D.C. location in Dupont Circle this year, Patch reported.
The Wahlbergs plan to eventually open restaurants in D.C., Maryland and Virginia, according to Patch. The restaurant is Boston-based with locations already in Orlando, Las Vegas, New York, Philadelphia and Toronto.
“We look forward to serving D.C.’s diverse community and welcoming everyone from foreign ambassadors and elected officials to students and visitors,” Rick Vanzura, the chief executive officer of Wahlburgers, said in a statement.
The location will occupy 6,500 square feet in Dupont Circle. The restaurant will feature both a fast-casual counter and a full-service dining room, as well as a bar and an outdoor patio. A retail section will exhibit branded Wahlburgers shirts, hats and drinkware, according to Patch.
