After a long period of secrecy, Marshall Mathers, commonly known as Eminem, announced the opening of his new Italian restaurant,
Mom’s Spaghetti. When I learned of Mom’s Spaghetti, I was so excited to experience the esteemed rapper’s once in a lifetime cuisine. The restaurant boasted a unique selection of pizza and pasta recipes; Italian food that’s “everything you ever wanted.”
At the grand opening, Mathers looked calm and ready to greet the large group of patrons who came out. Before opening the doors, he gave a rousing speech, saying that Mom’s Spaghetti was his “one shot, one opportunity, one moment.” The whole crowd was buzzing with excitement; we couldn’t wait to go in.
But frankly, my meal was disgusting. I’m not even sure if what I ate was
real food. For the next three days, my palms were sweaty, my knees were weak, my arms were heavy. I could not stop vomiting; my favorite
sweater was ruined. I thought opening a restaurant in a mobile-home was innovative, but I don’t think it was up to health code. Mathers may have tried his best, but apparently you cannot do everything you set your mind to, man.
