Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay isn't the only one making a buzz with his chain of restaurants in the Arab region.

Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg is bringing his yummy burger chain Wahlburgers to foodie Arabia as well.

Ronald McDonald, watch out, you've some real competition now. The actor's family restaurant - owned by Mark and his brothers Donnie and chef Paul - is quite the whopper in the US.

We're not sure which countries will get a taste of Mark's burgers yet, but the businessman is planning an expansion in the entire Middle East region. Bring it on!

“We have almost 70 restaurants under contract right now, with various franchisees and deals in different places. I think we will have nine or 10 open by the end of the year in places like Fenway Park in Boston and airports in Philly and New York,” Wahlberg told Hollywood Reporter.

“We also just made a deal in the Middle East for 20 restaurants,” he added.

Fingers crossed Jordan is on the list... we're ready to sample some o' those juicy burgers.
