What BOOYA is? Booya is a thick stew of probable Belgian origin made throughout the Upper Midwestern. Booya can require up to two days and multiple cooks to prepare; it is cooked in specially designed “booya kettles” and usually meant to serve hundreds or even thousands of people. The name can also refer to a social event surrounding the meal.
