text: Good soul food is hard to find in the desert and when you find one you have to savor it Betty Boos popped up around August and I found out about it last month October when a friend kept raving about it So one hungry night I ordered the BBQ chicken with a side of collard greens sweet potatoes and cornbread And I ate my plate clean because it is been a while The next time I ordered the catfish for myself and for hubby the fried chicken accompanied with macncheesennThough one of the owners is from New York I find the food to be quite decent being that I am also an East Coast transplant But I have to say soul food is so much better on the East I think maybe it is because out here some of the spices are not readily available in the supermarkets No matter what I find that the extra mmmmgood taste is always lacking out here Nonetheless I will take anything that comes close nnI like the fact that Betty Boos serve large portions I was able to have enough for dinner that night and leftover for lunch at work the next day I hope the portions will not decrease as business increase like some of the soul food posers that came and went in the valley nnOverall the place is a work in progress There is not much of an ambiance But the owners are friendly the price is reasonable and the food is well worth the trip even if your taste buds know better
