He didn't say it right. He didn't make it right. It's obviously not for children.

too many egg-heads want a dish to be exactly as created originally, every time. if that is what you want, go to a site that will give you the original and stop your belly-aching about all the wonderful innovations and variations available. i love the original from Brennans in new orleans but i also love Chef Jean-Pierres. the spice of life. Thanks Chef, you gave me some great ideas!!

Jesus! In what restaurant is this guy a chef of? I have never heard of Banana Foster made wtih sliced bananas. What kind of pan is he using? It does not make any difference? Try the copper one and see. And, shouldn't this be made in the dining room, as it was originally?

I like this guy...

To me, if it aint flambe'd it aint "fosterized". Setting the spirits ablaze not only looks impressive, but it's essential to the dish; the flame heat directly carmelizes the sugars (differently than the pan-heat) and completely changes the flavour of the dish.

I was asked to bring this dessert by a very bitchy person (extra detail i know), but she lives FAR. How can I make this at home and still make it work 20 min. later? I understand that the ice cream goes at the end, but will the banana with the liquor sugar, etc still be okay after 20 min? Or will I get "flamed" by not improvising?

[Meezenplaz]

@LimeGirl08 This dessert is flamed and carmelized sugars, so it is HOT when it's complete, far above water-boiling temperature. If transported after making it, I have no doubt it wil still be plenty warm in 20 minutes or so. And if not it's reheatable. :-)

looks like someone discovered the "thumbs up" button...

"don't get them drunk now, just a little bit of rum".

[IamtheGrynch]

So good. Thanks, Chef.

This is not a traditional bananas Foster recipe because he did not ignite the alcohol. For that reason, it makes this a *safer* version.

[iZee3x]

yummy :)

[asianphobia]

WAAHHH

He deprived us of the flambe!!!

[jhiller21]

I made this dessert for my girlfriend, and she loved it. I added some plain sugar before the banana and let it caramelize, and it was awesome. Thanks chef Pierre!

[kw2006]

this dessert looks lovely! simply irresistible!

[sh97]

The process was sped up for demonstration purposes but ideally you want some of the alcohol content to cook out (takes about 45 seconds), leaving the flavor of banana and rum without the harsh alcohol. He didn't mention this, but you should stand back when pouring the alcohol into the pan-tie your hair back, roll up sleeves and try not to burn the vent over the stove. 1 oz. of each is all you need.

[sandyny]

your accents good for a french man:)

[DJKydKrazy]

wheres the flambe?

[lalalolo88123]

there oughta be a flame cause alcohol is flameable

[Kha0sthe0ry]

Many Bananas Foster recipes call for the flame. But the flame is not vital. The main purpose is to burn off the alcohol. But it didn't flame because the flame from the burner never reached the alcohol. I'm guessing he was trying to make it easier for people.

excellent!!!
