Bananas Foster is a dessert made from bananas and vanilla ice cream, with the sauce made from butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, dark rum, and banana liqueur. The butter, sugar and bananas are cooked, and then the alcohol is added and ignited. The bananas and sauce are then served over the ice cream. Preparation of the dish is often made into a tableside performance as a flambé.

The dish was created in 1951 by Paul Blangé at Brennan's Restaurant in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was named for Richard Foster, a friend of Owen Brennan's and New Orleans Crime Commission chairman. It is still served at a number of fine restaurants in New Orleans and other fine restaurants around the world.

In popular culture

The dessert and the popular tableside demonstration play a significant role in the plot of the Arrested Development episode, "Top Banana", and is the proximate cause of death in a Dead Like Me episode, "Business Unfinished". In the movie The Opposite of Sex Christina Ricci's character complains about not being able to get Bananas Foster for breakfast at an expensive restaurant.
