text: Good soul food is hard to find in the desert and when you find one, you have to savor it. Betty Boo's 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's been a while.  The next time, I ordered the catfish for myself and, for hubby, the fried chicken accompanied with mac-n-cheese.\n\nThough 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's because out here some of the spices are not readily available in the supermarkets. No matter what,  I find that the extra \"mmmm...good\" taste is always lacking out here.  Nonetheless, I'll take anything that comes close. \n\nI like the fact that Betty Boo's 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.  \n\nOverall, the place is a work in progress.  There's 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.
