Listen, you don’t mess with Eminem in Detroit. Eminem can really do no wrong here. But, one restaurant critic is taking issue with Eminem’s Mom’s Spaghetti. Is nothing sacred anymore?

Food critic Rashad Mooreman, who goes by Mr. ChimeTime online, has visited Detroit on his restaurant review escapades before. He’s usually brutally honest about the food and experience at these stops. In other words, he’s definitely not the kind of guy to just be nice and say something tastes good if it doesn’t. Now, he’s commenting on Eminem’s Mom’s Spaghetti. Mr. ChimeTime has a big following on social media. He has more than 1.3 million followers on TikTok, 800,000 on Facebook, 587,000 on Instagram and than 564,000 on YouTube. So, this review is getting out there.

Mom’s Spgahetti is a fast-casual restaurant that’s not really a full-service restaurant. It’s a window that you walk up to and place your order. I’ve actually never tried it, but I can’t think it’s as bad as Mr. ChimeTime claims. “This is by far the worst spaghetti that I have ever had in my entire life of eating spaghetti,” Mooreman says in his video. Ouch. At least he started out the video nicely. In it, he says that Eminem is “iconic” and “one of the best rappers that’s every lived.” It sounds like Mooreman thinks Eminem shouldn’t quit his day job, as people say. Also, if you’re wondering, Mooreman based his review on three items: the regular spaghetti, the spaghetti with meatballs and the spaghetti sandwich. Okay, I have to admit that a spaghetti sandwich sounds gross. But, that’s just me. At the end of the review, Mooreman gives Mom’s Spaghetti a 0/10 rating. Wow. Now I actually want to try this spaghetti to see if it’s that bad. I mean, noodle and sauce? It can’t be that bad, Mooreman.
