This is something they do in my home town in Puerto Vallarta México, they are VERY popular too in restaurants, just a great thing to watch because they do it at your table, plus they make a "show" kinda when they are making it, people really get impressed . Awesome chef! Thanks
I am new to cooking and I have really enjoyed making many of Chef Johns recipes. They are easy to follow, and even a novice like me can throw together something really great. My son said this is now his favorite dessert! Thanks Chef John!
I have always loved Bananas Foster. My first experience was in Las Vegas at the Rhapsody Room in the Tropicana.With this video I think I can now make it at home - what a great surprise for my wife. She loves it too.
I'm from New Orleans. I used to work in a fine dining restaurant and I cooked bananas foster tableside everyday. As a local and a foster aficionado, I wholly approve of your presentation. Although, I prefer the dark rum.
One of my favorite restaurants in a beach town I go to has a variation they call Bananas Macadamia that has macadamia nuts in it and is served over house made coconut ice cream. It's divine!
Usually, I don't care much for deserts, but I seem to have gotten into the habit of trying every recipe of our beloved Chef John, also this one turned out great! But I wondered: wouldn't a pinch of salt give an additional zest to the sauce? It seems always to be the right thing to do when caramel of any kind is concerned. Thank you for all the great teaching and inspiring!
Totally overcooked my bananas. Then after plating up I remembered that I was supposed to put some cinnamon in the sauce. So I grabbed the jar that looked like cinnamon and added garam masala instead. Luckily I could smell what I had done before I used it and just added some cinnamon directly. Was still really nice.
I made something like this years ago with homemade japanese green tea ice cream and put 5 spice powder in, can't remember what else, maybe some mango slices and it was fantastic.
hey chef! I'm 14 and loved cooking ever since I was young. I've made some of your recipes and I loved every one! I made this recipe for my family one night and everyone loved it. Iforgot to wait to scoop the ice cream right before serving. Most of it melted and mixed with the rum sauce. it was still delicious. thank you!
When I was in New Orleans with my father and sister, I got to try Bananas Foster at the Palace Cafe. They really went the extra mile with their version, because they used Vanilla Bean ice cream as opposed to regular vanilla.
i used to give the sauce a sqirt of lemon juice, the tanginess adds a nice layer of flavor. served with carmelized walnuts on top for texture. never tried with cinnamon but it makes perfect sense
My banana tree just gave us about 8 bunches (16 per bunch) of the Saba variety. It's very girthy but short. Gonna try this recipe. Ur recipes never disappoint. Thank you for sharing ur expertise with us non expert cooks. My dad was a cook in the navy but I never really appreciated his expertise. He would make banana cream pies everytime a bunch ripened. I loved his made -from-scratch custard.
Hey Chef John. I made this tonight. I think it was the 18th recipe of yours I’ve cooked. I don’t like rum so I don’t have any on hand. I used whisky. It’s probably better with rum, but I thought it was fantastic. The cinnamon sparkles are fun too! Rock on. 🤘 🎸 🥁 🎤 🥘
Looks divine! Thanks. I have no money for alcohol, just food stamps. So I'll try using a little vanilla extract in the pan. I'm also addicted to anything "strawberry/banana." So I may try adding strawberries at some point.
Love this! One of the many reasons why I admire chefs. If I made this, as soon as I see the flames on my pan I would freak out n run away. Or freak if they don't dye "fast enough".. lol...
Thanks for sharing Chef John! I used to fix this often but have gotten away from it, I'll have to dig out that banana liquor again and get back at it, this IS such a fantastic desert, I feel sorry for the the ones who haven't had this and are trying to figure out a way of having it without ALL the ingredients...
It depends on how long you cook it. The FDA says it does, which is why you don't have to get carded when ordering foods cooked with alcohol in it, but it isn't really true. There's an episode of Good Eats that went over the subject but I can't remember which one it was. www.drweil.com/drw/u/QAA400900/Does-Alcohol-Really-Cook-Out-of-Food.html
nigga yo ass wont get drunk re the fuck lax boi, an if u heard ma nigga chef john ova here you would KNOW if yo ass can NOT have alcohol don eat dis dish, u feel ?
we also have that kind of dessert here in Philippines but wihout rum. it is called banana con yelo. we use this kind of banana called 'saba' or as far as i know 'cardava banana' in english. it is actually the type of banana for cooking because of it's texture, it's kinda hard. well, just boil it and it will turn into a sweet banana. pretty much the same dish that featured here actually.
One of my all-time favorites. I use Captain Morgans Spiced Rum - Yummy. Have not made this in a while - maybe I will add this on next weeks menu! You rock my dear :-) (I love it with Ginger Ice Cream - Super Yummy. Try it, you will like it!)
Correct. Only don't leave the match in the pan. Don't laugh. I heard (disclaimer: not sure if true) a well-known soup company back in the 50's had to change the directions on their cans of soup as people were dumb enough to throw away the soup. The can directions read: Open can. Empty contents. Heat and serve. Okay, you can laugh now.
Do you think you can replace the brown sugar with cane sugar? That's all we have here in the Dominican Republic . We have the bananas and rum but no brown sugar. looks great
I love this recipe, thanks chef. Only thing is not everyone carries banana liqueur, or rum for that matter. So I checked the price, it's like $70.00 a bottle, plus the rum, that's one expensive desert. Looks delightful.
THIS is one of the MANY things I hate about having an electric stove. LOL I am going to make this tonight but using coconut rum. HOPING a flambe torch will work. Wish me luck!
This looks amazing, as always. Long time fan of your channel. I wonder though, since I'm not such a fan of banana liqueur, would a nut liqueur like amaretto be a good alternative?
This is wonderful! But honestly I have seen comments people concerned about the alcohol. Don't worry about it! It's basically gonna be burned off and you would be left with basically sugar! Since rum is nothing but sugar once alcohol burns off. So it's kid safe!
Check out the recipe: www.allrecipes.com/Recipe/240238/Chef-Johns-Bananas-Foster/
I have cognac at home, but I think that'll work nicely as well. This this may be a staple here as well as many of your recipes.
"I do prefer something with a little more girth"
-Chef John, 2014
That's what she said.
...In my basement.
Phrasing!
or in this day and age, that's what "he said"
OMG still laughing! Caught me by surprise reading all the comments, then yours too funny😂🤣😂🤣
If you're not using alcohol, you have to add a splash of water.
“ If you're not using alcohol, you're doing it wrong.”
Fixed that for you.
That's some pretty stiff 'water' you're using there, doc.
More spots on the bananas=more sugar in the bananas. It might taste more sweet. This dish does not go well with Lutefisk.
Tried it with tap water, but it didn't ignite. Should have used fire water. ;)
you answered my silent question (if not using alcohol) - thank you
Just tried it. Excellent. First time I've ever truly lit my food on fire.
Thank you, Chef John.

I've been making this for about 25 years. Absolutely love it.
I am new to cooking and I have really enjoyed making many of Chef Johns recipes. They are easy to follow, and even a novice like me can throw together something really great. My son said this is now his favorite dessert! Thanks Chef John!
personally out of all of the banana fosters' videos that I've seen THIS IS THE BEST!!!!!!
great explanation and great demonstration GOOD JOB!!!! :-)
"But I do generally prefer something with a little more girth."
Me too, Chef John. Me too.
Lmao
I'm sure chef John has some girth
oh, she went there. We all thought it, but she went there...
My all time favorite dessert since I had it at Brennan's when I was a child.
Cooks bananas: Yeah that seems easy enough
Sets pan on fire: This dish is way too advanced for me

Lol my science teacher was called Richard Foster, this looks brilliant!
Oh wow 😂😂😂 I never thought I saw you here

LOVE this recipe! Bananas Foster was one of the first dishes I learned how to cook! Very well done Chef John!!
hey chef! I'm 14 and loved cooking ever since I was young. I've made some of your recipes and I loved every one! I made this recipe for my family one night and everyone loved it. Iforgot to wait to scoop the ice cream right before serving. Most of it melted and mixed with the rum sauce. it was still delicious. thank you!
+Jacob Wojcio Jacob is "14 and loved cooking ever since " he was YOUNG. Ya gotta love a kid with an attitude like that.
wow. time flies.
I used to do it my own way, but your way is way too much better. I tried it and it came out GREAT.
When I was in New Orleans with my father and sister, I got to try Bananas Foster at the Palace Cafe. They really went the extra mile with their version, because they used Vanilla Bean ice cream as opposed to regular vanilla.

I dont drink alcohol. Can you make this with heroin in place of the alcohol?
+jacob lahr Just puree the cooked bananas and push the puree through a very fine mesh sieve before loading your syringe.
Only if you cook the heroin with a freakishly small wooden spoon. Otherwise, NO.
Suzanne Baruch that was funny
jacob lahr LMFAO!!!
Ground crystal meth mixed with a little water works pretty well
This is one of the most delicious desserts, even if you are not crazy about bananas. I had it at Brennan's, made right in front of me.
Had some today it is absolutely delicious.
Love this! One of the many reasons why I admire chefs. If I made this, as soon as I see the flames on my pan I would freak out n run away. Or freak if they don't dye "fast enough".. lol...
Looks so good. I think I am going to try this,I’ve never had it.
*I love fried banana!*
have to try this recipe ... used to cook something similar ..
Thanks for sharing Chef John! I used to fix this often but have gotten away from it, I'll have to dig out that banana liquor again and get back at it, this IS such a fantastic desert, I feel sorry for the the ones who haven't had this and are trying to figure out a way of having it without ALL the ingredients...
I love Chef John, especially his recipes with alcohol! Oh and cayenne of course!
Great video. I love the way you commentate your videos.
I just love your voice.
This is my favorite dish ever ….. thank you for the awesome recipe 🤗
This video is quite cheeky, in addition to being one of my favorite recipes. Love it.
I am so making this. This reminds me of when I first tried this in Vagas .
Thank you for sharing your delicious experience with us
Harry Potter stuff haha. Chef John is definitely a culinary wizard!
Skyrising i
That looks delicious 😋
Amazing recipe. Thank you so much.
I do generally prefer something with a little more girth
CMiller1334 That’s what she said! 😂
Mari Anne Souza I came here JUST to say that 😂😂😂😂😂
You can use other varieties of banana that can be cooked and eaten while underripe. They will have more girth than the ripe ones.
Dont we all
lol
I remember the first time I had this at Brennan's. Truly amazing stuff.
I didn't have any alcohol, but I did have some gasoline. Works just as well and even gives a better flavour.
😂
Just dont...
Lol I forgot about this aha
Underrated comment
I hope you used unleaded.
Love that looks very good....
Looks sooooo good
Hi John!. I'm a big fan from Argentina. It's great to put a bit of salt along with the brown sugar!
Looks amazing
My absolute favourite dessert!!!!
Have you tried it with sour cream or creme fresh? Wonderful!
Finally a recipe I've made before! I had to do this one time as a dessert in my school's restaurant it's very easy..
Doesn't all the alcohol burn up so its non-alcoholic?
Yes, but people are dumb.
Yes
Yes...... but that doesn't matter to some people. If they can't drink it, they can't cook with it.

Mmmmmm,Looks good!
My all time favorite dessert. Next could do the second greatest dessert of all time Cherries Jubilee, which I also believe is a New Orleans classic.
I love this man so much 🥺
Wow, that looks great thanks man
Oh you are good chef john. I was looking up "food wishes bananas foster" literally hours before it came out.
Sounds yummy!
Looks yummy

You sound like you do voice over, love the video
"Vantastic!". Great one Chef John
Gotta try this
Looks delish Chef John! Please do Cherries Jubilee!!
What pans are you using to cook? This recipe looks very delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Great dessert.
Uprated. Quite pretty, in a gooey way! Good demonstration.
my husband and I made this tonight for dessert I was awsome :)
spectacular.
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!
Looks lovely! How do I do this without a gas stove tho? Do i just ignite it with a lighter?
Yes. Just light the rum sauce with a match.
Alright, thanks! :)
Correct. Only don't leave the match in the pan.
Don't laugh. I heard (disclaimer: not sure if true) a well-known soup company back in the 50's had to change the directions on their cans of soup as people were dumb enough to throw away the soup. The can directions read: Open can. Empty contents. Heat and serve.
Okay, you can laugh now.
where did you get those fantastic glowing bananas
Looks amazing!
Do you think you can replace the brown sugar with cane sugar? That's all we have here in the Dominican Republic . We have the bananas and rum but no brown sugar. looks great
I love this recipe, thanks chef. Only thing is not everyone carries banana liqueur, or rum for that matter. So I checked the price, it's like $70.00 a bottle, plus the rum, that's one expensive desert. Looks delightful.
I love your videos! You always make me laugh!
What a fun video to watch!!! To attempt? Maybe. Lol
Superb lovly
THIS is one of the MANY things I hate about having an electric stove. LOL I am going to make this tonight but using coconut rum. HOPING a flambe torch will work. Wish me luck!
bananas fosters with ice cream and bread pudding is my favorite
Yum. The evergreen resort in Stone Mountain GA makes an incredible Bananas Foster. Two servings makes you a little tipsy. ;-)
Three words "Bananas Foster Waffles"
omg YAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS
I have to try that someday, You are a genius.
Drool! Need to make!
You are the Michael Bay of your Flambe.
Boom.
This looks amazing, as always. Long time fan of your channel. I wonder though, since I'm not such a fan of banana liqueur, would a nut liqueur like amaretto be a good alternative?
Would u be open to doing another version of pork roulade or stuffed roast pork recipe??
I serve this with butter pecan ice cream, amazing combo.
Serve these with warm blondies.
Fos...ter lol The only cooking channel on TH-cam that makes me laugh out loud for real!
I like the way this guy speaks 囧
i just went to brennan’s and it was amazing
Cook the sugar first caramelized then add the butter comes out much better
Great video
This is wonderful! But honestly I have seen comments people concerned about the alcohol. Don't worry about it! It's basically gonna be burned off and you would be left with basically sugar! Since rum is nothing but sugar once alcohol burns off.
So it's kid safe!
This guys sense of humor is gold lol
Thank you for putting my request on here!!
If I liked bananas, this would be awesome!! I'll make it for my friends for sure!!
