When Eminem wrote a bar about puking up the dinner his mom prepared for him before taking the stage at a rap battle 20 years ago, I don’t think he really foresaw how much of a cultural impact that would have, for better or for worse (I, frankly, think it’s weird that this graphic detail rears its nasty head so early in the song and never gets mentioned again? Like OK bro, you nailed your set, and the hoes is all on you—but are they at all put off by that stench?). But his Oscar-earning track remains relevant even outside of the meme-verse, even if it appears as if the rapper himself is leaning into the jokey cult surrounding the track.

Case in point: the Detroit-reared rapper has taken his “Mom’s Spaghetti” pop-up to Downtown LA, opening earlier this week at 820 S. Spring Street, the site of Uncle Paulie’s Deli. Originally launched in 2017 in his Michigan hometown, the pop-up has materialized across festivals and tours over the years before landing in LA (and how will we be able to go back to watching Eminem performing live without eating a nice pasta dinner?). Open through Sunday, you can order from their limited menu (spaghetti with or without meatballs, vegan meatballs unappetizingly named after Emimen’s genitalia, or the spaghetti sandwich) at the DTLA location or through Postmates.
