LEILA FADEL, HOST:

Good morning, I'm Leila Fadel. Two years ago, rapper Eminem opened the Mom's Spaghetti diner in his hometown of Detroit. The name is a reference to a song, "Lose Yourself."

FADEL: Well, good news for Eminem fans, you don't need to go to Michigan to experience Mom's Spaghetti. Jars of the restaurant's pasta sauce are now available for purchase online, all the sustenance needed for a rap battle.
