Star-studded opening of Wahlbergs' latest


(NECN: Josh Brogadir: Hingham, Mass.) - It was a big opening night for Wahlburgers, perfect name for the new ground beef stomping grounds of Chef Paul Wahlberg and celebrity brothers Mark and Donnie, who walked the red carpet at the Launch at Hingham Shipyard.

Joining the Dorchester natives were Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins, and most important - their mother Alma.

Inside the restaurant - fries, frappes, tater tots on the menu - and of course, burgers, including the triple decker: billed as "a triple stack, like the house we grew up in."

Chef Paul also runs Alma Nove, named after his mother and the nine Wahlberg brothers and sisters.

But much of the decor in the restaurant is devoted to the singing and acting success of Donnie and Mark.

It showcases movies such as the Departed, and on this day we learned of a new Whitey Bulger movie project with Matt Damon playing Bulger, and Ben Affleck directing.

We asked Mark if he would be in the movie and he said "After The Departed it's not really something you need to go back to."

He was excited about the "Fighter 2," though.

Wahlburgers has a Thanksgiving burger, a salmon burger.
