The clicks of camera shutters, gathered media and throng of fans may have looked like Hollywood, but the red carpet Mark Wahlberg walked Monday ended at the entrance to the Downtown Wahlburgers location.
While the Cincinnati location of his family’s foray into the culinary chain business has been open for a month, it didn’t get the pomp and circumstance of its celebrity owners until Monday afternoon.
Walking a red carpet that stretched from a black SUV to the Sixth Street restaurant entrance, Wahlberg paused for photos with fans, signed autographs and met with the gathered commentariat.
