"As Mark Wahlberg stated, we are working very closely with Mark and Wahlburgers to create a great location for them in the Greektown area."

Along with a restaurant chain, "Wahlburgers" is a reality TV series on A&E giving a behind the scenes look at the restaurant. It's owned by Chef Paul Wahlberg and his brothers, Mark and Donnie.

The burger chain says its beef is fresh, never frozen. The menu includes chicken sandwiches, fries, tator tots, sweet potato tater tots, onion rings, chili, salads and more. Currently there are locations in Florida, Nevada, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and Canada.

Business Insider recently said the plan is to add 100 to 150 new Wahlburgers in the next five years.
