The Coachella 2018 pop-up had already turned the lyric into a plate. Shady Records then contracted Union Joints for eight Detroit-area hospitals and later the TCF Center vaccination site.<\/p>\n<h2>From a Hospital Drop to Woodward Avenue<\/h2>\n<p>On September 29, 2021 Eminem and Paul Rosenberg opened a brick-and-mortar Mom&#8217;s Spaghetti at 2131 Woodward Avenue, across from Comerica Park. He handed out orders on opening night. The window sells spaghetti with regular or vegan meatballs and a &#8220;&#8216;sghetti sandwich.&#8221; Upstairs, The Trailer sells 8 Mile merch. The restaurant is still there. The lyric that started as a joke about a poor kid&#8217;s dinner is now a storefront that feeds Tigers fans and tourists on the same block as the ballpark.<\/p>\n<p>Eminem remains one of the best-selling artists on earth, north of 220 million records. The donation was not a photo op dressed up as charity. Hospital workers in Detroit were eating pasta from a rapper while the rest of the country argued over stimulus crumbs.
