"That made the experience," said Frost, who locked eyes with Em from his vehicle as she waited in line underneath the Fox Theatre marquee. She didn't expect to see the rapper on Wednesday but was happy she did. "You never know with him," she said. "It's Eminem."
Sep 29, 2021 Mom's Spaghetti has a history dating back to 2002 as a rather unappetizing reference in Eminem's Oscar-winning "8 Mile" theme "Lose Yourself." It first emerged as a pop-up at the Shelter in 2017, tied to the release of Eminem's "Revival" album, and has followed him since: it was available when he performed at a run of festivals in 2018, and last year Em served up helpings of the pasta to frontline workers at several area hospitals a month into the COVID-19 pandemic. The Union Joints crew, which runs Union Assembly and several other Metro Detroit restaurants, has been on board with Mom's Spaghetti since day one. "It started as a crazy experiment," Curt Catallo, co-owner of Union Joints, said Wednesday. It was never meant to be the best spaghetti in the world, but rather was conceptualized to taste like reheated day-old pasta.
Sep 29, 2021 "It's scratch sauce that's designed to taste like it's from a jar," Catallo said. "It's great pasta that we cook the night before, and reheat in a wok, like you're reheating it on a stove the next day. "We wanted to make the best leftover pasta ever, from scratch," Catallo said. "It's nowhere near a gourmet item," said Mom's Spaghetti cook Chris Springer, who has worked for Union Joints for eight years and who appeared in the Mom's Spaghetti commercials that began airing on local television last week. "We had to redo the sauce a few times, because it was coming out tasting too fancy."
Sep 29, 2021 NO NEW ALBUM There's also nothing fancy about the Mom's Spaghetti space, which resembles a small bodega spot, complete with cloudy, scratched windows. It's full of shelves lined with candy, pop, potato chips and Bic lighters for sale and tagged with cheap-looking orange price stickers. "There's nothing accidental about the space, but everything has a cheeky undertone," said Catallo, who said the space has been in the works for about three years.
Sep 29, 2021 The Trailer includes Mom's Spaghetti hats, T-shirts, pint glasses and more, as well as Eminem T-shirts, hoodies, limited-edition photo prints, vinyl albums and cassette tapes. There's also Eminem memorabilia on display but not for sale, including a custom Slim Shady beat machine and a pair of extremely limited Eminem Air Jordan IVs. The tiny space is decked out with wood paneling, shaggy green carpet and windows with bug netting on them. "It's made to mimic the trailer-esque upbringing of Marshall and (Eminem's "8 Mile" character), B. Rabbit," said Ian McManus of Huntington Woods, who helps run The Trailer. He expected the store's items to sell quickly, especially a rack of vintage Detroit sports T-shirts, some of which were worn at one time by Eminem.

Sep 29, 2021 Alex Ceslik, who flew in from New Jersey for Wednesday's opening, dropped about $1,500 in the store. But that's nothing for the superfan, who has been following Eminem throughout his career and usually travels wherever Eminem is doing a concert or making an appearance. "I used to cut school to see him when he would do 'TRL,'" said Ceslik, 35. He said he relates to Eminem's music because they had similar upbringings, and he grew up without a father and dealt with instances of bullying and harassment throughout his life. "His music has always really touched me and motivated me and inspired me. He always puts me in a good mood," he said.
