Bananas Fawstuhh is very good.

Unpopular opinion: cook it in the kitchen, no need to create a fire in the dining hall

"Dinner on the terrace of an iconic restaurant in Saint-Tropez (Var) turned into a tragedy in August 2023. A waiter preparing a crêpe Suzette in front of customers severely burned a mother."

So special it can only be made tableside

That's bananas.

I thought I recognized the inside. One of the best (and most expensive) meals of my life.

Presentation is great but it doesn't make sense. Hot bananas on cold ice cream just means you're left with a tepid banana dairy soup after a couple minutes.

How does he stay so cool when flambeing stuff? Every time I do that, I have to yell for the glory of Stan! Really adds to the experience.

That looks amazing. I'm sad that all that buttery sugar syrup got taken away.

My first job was at a place that served this and it was the MOST DELICIOUS aroma... I would like to try it someday

I love that the letter R goes completely unused here. It's like he's allergic to it.

He looks like the guy who embezzled a bunch of money from the local country club back in the 1990s.
MrBigBuns
he still does, but he used to, too.

The orange isn't traditional but sounds interesting.
herrschniedelwichsen
Nor is the grand marnier vs banqna liquor. Often the presentation is also much better and sometimes includes walnuts or pecans. Regional variations are fun.
cre8majic
a bit of vanilla would be good
Causeitsmadeofmeat
IMHO it's at its best with just butter, demerara sugar, and brandy/cognac on french vanilla ice cream
Kiares
Yarp banana liquor and rum is traditional. And cinnamon! I made variations of it in culinary school and it's... A mediocre dessert at best.
ChazzK
For added flair, toss in the cinnamon powder while burning off the alcohol, it's like tiny fireworks. This may or may not completely change the flavor of the dish, I've SEEN it but haven't had it that way.
I actually like the taste of a well done foster, but I easily see it not being for everyone.

I’m gonna put on a suit and make this myself!

Aww, that looks so damn good. I love bananas foster so much. <3
DemSumBigAssRidges
Are the bananas frozen beforehand? I've never had room temp bananas behave... at all... when being fried. They just become mushy...
cre8majic
The trick is to catch them at the right moment of ripeness, these might be refrigerated to firm up starches, freezing them makes them black
pinkmansaidthebest
I too, eat a little bit of butta.
IlCastradore
what kind of rhum did he say??
SarcasticComment
you can sub many kinds of rum, brandy, or whiskey. What's on hand friendly dish
Evi1Gav
Cockburn's.
Clayman8
So a banana split but on fire and that probably costs 60 bucks, got it.
Tarmaccian
Well, sure, but on the other hand… fire.
Clayman8
Yeah but i can make fire at home for the low price of "stolen matchsticks from a bar" though ☝️
nurmich
When they put the bananas foster on your plate, you're only supposed to take care of it until its forever table becomes available. If you eat it yourself, it's a bananas foster fail.
stulfer
What?
SirEelstuf
Is there no path to bananas adoption?
magila
What?
Corganic
Foster fail refers to when someone fosters something young, like kids, puppies, kittens, temporarily with the original intent of being a stopgap between their previous place and their eventual full time home, but then getting attached enough that you adopt the whatever instead. You failed fostering.
Bananas Foster, fostering, foster family, foster fail, etc.
stulfer
I figured it was something like that just the sentences made no sense.
nurmich
Haha, I freely admit it's an idiot joke but I didn't think it required explanation given how many imgur regulars foster kittens and the like. I doff my cap to you, kind sir.
Da3n
While I have adopted fostered pets, I never fostered before and somehow never heard this term. I am grateful for the explanation. Now the original joke us quite good too, so double thanks!
TrilithonStone
Clever enough joke to require an explainer.

if you cook in a suit you're not a real cook. change my mind

The guy in the suite cooked, so he's a real cook.
HawkmanXLII
It's a tableside presentation done by the server. Source: I was a server for 20 years and prepared many tableside dishes.
herrschniedelwichsen
Having worked in and managed a few restaurants with tableside preparation, this is woefully worth mind changing. Many senior staff in front of house in these establishments spend years working there, often coming up from kitchens themselves and making the transition. For those who didn't come from the kitchen side, they train rigorously to be able to prepare dishes like this, steak diane, tableside caesars and so forth. Diminishing rhe work of dedicated service professionals is a low blow.

I'll leave the changing of your mind to the experienced professionals who commented beside me here, and merely stand back and point and laugh at you

I made curry that way once. Accidentally spilled boiling curry on myself.
SneakyTrojan
Legit question, why put the orange in there if you're planning on squeezing the juices in regardless? Extra flavour from the rind? Presentation only? Does the heat preemptively do something to the juices so that they come out better???
SarcasticComment
orange oil, presentation, and keeps the orange slices from pulping out. not a traditional ingredient, but I don't hate it scraping the sugar off the bottom of the pan
bluegargoyle
I'm guessing to deglaze the pan.
invisiblemaniac
It's a little out of vogue at the moment, but if you happen to see it on a menu? Worth it.
phalanxausage
Agreed. So damn good.
SatansRepairDroid
Well since its out of vogue I SIMPLY SHANT *laughs in rich asshole*

I cant afford 25 euro banana ice cream.
CouldntCakeLess
If this was served I’d invite you. Looks delicious!
GrandmasterSpank
Thnx for the invite :)
somerandomusernamebecauseididntlikemyoldone
Much cheaper to make it at home, most people these days aren't looking to spend that kind of money for luxury desserts
famtifa
First time I made this at home I realized how low my apartment ceiling was when the flames hit it hard and fanned out lol it was one of the best things I ever ate
FishieStardust
I was considering it until the fire. Yeah... I mean that's what renter's insurance is for right?
pareidoliaperson
For me highest luxury is ben and jerry´s. If I really want to pig-out I go to Chinese wok all you can eat. Stay there for 3 hours and crowd my board with deserts, twice.
ChelVanin
Confining myself to only luxury desserts and then not being able to afford them is part of how I lose weight.
somerandomusernamebecauseididntlikemyoldone
It certainly works for me, If the other person's guess of 25 euros is accurate then that's 4+ days of food for me
chewybrian
akafluffy
confining myself to only luxury booze is how I stay sober, can't afford to drink good scotch, so I don't drink.
ParaspriteHugger
Just remember that you don't flambé under a kitchen hood - if at all.
akafluffy
that's literally what the kitchen hood is for, so you don't scorch the roof and get fumes stuck inside the building.
ParaspriteHugger
It's not, at least not a regular home kitchen hood. There is a big filter right at the bottom of it, usually soaked in grease, with lots of air being sucked through - the perfect wick for a fire in the ducts.
B99Reactions
most people these days buy air fryers cause they don't know how to cook
ParaspriteHugger
Isn't that what microwaves are for?
akafluffy
microwaves aren't to avoid cooking, they just make it all or nothing. Want something heated to the surface temperature of the sun or still frozen? Bam, we gotchu, have some of both, with no overlap.
