Posted by Detroit, MI – Eminem has been talking about “Mom’s spaghetti” since 2002 when he unleashed his Academy Award-winning single “Lose Yourself” from the 8 Mile soundtrack.
In 2017, he served up a hearty helping of actual spaghetti when he launched the Mom’s Spaghetti pop-up at The Shelter, a local Detroit music venue. Last year, he brought it back in an effort to feed frontline workers at several local hospitals as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold.
Now, Slim Shady is opening up an official brick and mortar restaurant called — yep! — Mom’s Spaghetti. According to The Detroit News, an ad for the local diner popped up on the Motor City television channel WXYZ Friday (September 24).
The 30-second spot begins with an image of Eminem towering over the Detroit skyline, vomiting up a carton of his signature spaghetti into the Detroit River. It ends with Eminem presumably giving the middle finger but with Mom’s Spaghetti cartons censoring the gesture.

In addition to a “S’ghetti Sandwich” and the Mom’s Spaghetti — which will be available with or without meatballs — hungry patrons will also be able to check out “The Trailer,” a store for Stans.
Mom’s Spaghetti became a reality with the help of the Metro Detroit restaurant group, Union Joints, which also teamed with Eminem for the aforementioned pop-ups.
