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.

Union Joints opened Union Assembly, a two-tier, 500-seat restaurant at the same address as Mom’s Spaghetti at Woodward and Columbia, on Wednesday (September 22). Mom’s Spaghetti will be attached to the Union Assembly.
Mom’s Spaghetti is expected to open on Wednesday (September 29). For more information, call (313) 888-8388.
All I would think about is the crackhead making the spaghetti…did I go too far? But I am only being real
What difference does it make if it’s good! Crack heads work at McDonald’s and Starbucks and people still flock to buy this stuff!
Posted at 12am, I have the first comment at 5am. This isn’t cool. Hip hop fans online should be flocking anything Em in my books. Time changes but Em is still a leader in rap.
5am est. Maybe it’s 2 hours in.
Eminem is so corny.. a real cornball no doubt
I hope it taste good and is successful but not a big fan of associating vomit and a new restaurant. I know it’s a classic line in the song but I would prefer a nice Italian restaurant without that connection, one that’s quality is very high nothing like his “moms spaghetti” A classic bomb Italian food place would be fine add in some authentic Detroit style pizzas. The merch shop the “trailer”seems like a potential cash cow.
Exactly. Vomit on my sweater, mom’s spaghetti. No thanks
Eminem sure loves sucking on black meat balls alright.
You sound jealous lol! You can do the same thing you just accused him of doing I’m sure there is enough out there to go around for you too!
Damn! The usual haters in the comments lol. Its a good idea. Good luck to him.
the funny thing is em can make money faster then you’ll can type or leave dumb comments, the one thing about this world is its built off ppl like you just wonna hate talk shhhh and i bet in yo life you’ll have nothing to show for it , stop hating do something in life then you will have a reason to talk till then you’ll sound stupid
This is promo … 10/01 be ready for something big.
