Mark Wahlberg Addresses Fire Incident at Las Vegas Restaurant
Mark Wahlberg has reassured fans that a recent fire at his Mexican eatery in Las Vegas was not as severe as it might have seemed. The actor reported that the blaze, which originated from a malfunctioning firepit outside, never reached the interior of his restaurant, Flecha Cantina. In fact, he humorously dubbed it the “hottest restaurant in the world” following the incident.
During a conversation on “TMZ Live,” Wahlberg clarified the details, emphasizing that the fire was contained to the patio area. Witness reports indicate that there were no injuries resulting from the incident, and the reflections from the windows may have created an illusion that the flames were affecting the indoor dining space.
A social media post from a local news source corroborated that the fire started on the patio, with no reports of injuries. Wahlberg noted that despite the unexpected occurrence, the grand opening of Flecha Cantina was only delayed by roughly an hour, allowing the evening’s festivities to continue without significant disruption.
Business Ventures and Lifestyle
Wahlberg also took the opportunity to discuss his other business pursuits, which include the popular burger franchise Wahlburgers and his newly launched fitness initiative, Municipal Gym, located in the Las Vegas area. He mentioned that his business choices are heavily influenced by his personal lifestyle, highlighting a key trait he maintains across all his ventures.
In a light-hearted conclusion, Wahlberg remarked that a flambéed patio serves as an unconventional yet memorable way to kick off a restaurant’s debut. This incident, while alarming, ultimately added to the character and excitement surrounding Flecha Cantina’s opening.
