pic a plate: Ms. Nancy's Place, Merchantville, NJ

back story: a buddy of mine liked this place on Facebook. i rightfully thought he went there, ate the food, and liked it. he didn't. he just liked it cuz he saw what they had on the menu and liked it. like motherfucker, that's irresponsible. he tried to compare it to me liking these females like public figures but i don't know them. uh, last time i checked i didn't have to taste test these women first to like them...not that i'd mind. a restaurant is different. you can't just like a place for it's decor or ambiance. restaurant main purpose is food. and Ms. Nancy has some really good food.
