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

[@DreadPirateRobbo]

That's what she said.

[@makwabid69]

...In my basement.

[@raytimpson3361]

Phrasing!

[@TheAelsayed]

or in this day and age, that's what "he said"

[@kittdybeckscurto2422]

OMG still laughing! Caught me by surprise reading all the comments, then yours too funny😂🤣😂🤣

[@winniethepooh751]

"But I do generally prefer something with a little more girth." Me too, Chef John. Me too.

[@sbk1398]

Lmao

[@vitoruffalo2576]

I'm sure chef John has some girth

[@kilroy2517]

oh, she went there. We all thought it, but she went there...

[@bastardferret869]

Just tried it. Excellent. First time I've ever truly lit my food on fire. Thank you, Chef John.

[@WendyVallarta]

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

[@anomienormie8126]

Cooks bananas: Yeah that seems easy enough Sets pan on fire: This dish is way too advanced for me

[@chibbert1246]

I've been making this for about 25 years. Absolutely love it.

[@jrwahlmeier]

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!

[@maryprincess4898]

personally out of all of the banana fosters' videos that I've seen THIS IS THE BEST!!!!!! great explanation and great demonstration GOOD JOB!!!! :-)

[@happyidiottalk]

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.

[@theoriginalchefboyoboy6025]

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.

[@jerrysmith372]

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.

[@foodwishes]

If you're not using alcohol, you have to add a splash of water.

[@rbdriftin]

“ If you're not using alcohol, you're doing it wrong.” Fixed that for you.

[@lolojoe101]

That's some pretty stiff 'water' you're using there, doc.

[@karstenvonfjellheim5321]

More spots on the bananas=more sugar in the bananas. It might taste more sweet. This dish does not go well with Lutefisk.

[@CologneCarter]

Tried it with tap water, but it didn't ignite. Should have used fire water. ;)

[@Homeycircle]

you answered my silent question (if not using alcohol) - thank you

[@jefffontenot1782]

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.

[@c0mf0rta61ynum6]

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.

[@skyrising3832]

Harry Potter stuff haha. Chef John is definitely a culinary wizard!

[@TheonetheycallQuaid]

Skyrising i

[@katherinesmith9985]

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!

[@mrbarrylewis]

Lol my science teacher was called Richard Foster, this looks brilliant!

[@tranthuylinh3340]

Oh wow 😂😂😂 I never thought I saw you here

[@elliemayormaynot]

My all time favorite dessert since I had it at Brennan's when I was a child.

[@mariacampelli6954]

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!

[@niznomores7961]

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.

[@derellinkitchen8986]

I used to do it my own way, but your way is way too much better. I tried it and it came out GREAT.

[@jacobwojcio5472]

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!

[@Rehdman6444]

+Jacob Wojcio Jacob is "14 and loved cooking ever since " he was YOUNG. Ya gotta love a kid with an attitude like that.

[@kranzfafka]

wow. time flies.

[@timmi59]

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. 🤘 🎸 🥁 🎤 🥘

[@ijustliketocook]

LOVE this recipe! Bananas Foster was one of the first dishes I learned how to cook! Very well done Chef John!!

[@gloristef]

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...

[@joycegreer9391]

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.

[@nesta9725]

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

[@batfinksdad]

Did you caremelise the nuts in with the butter/sugar mix? (Edit: just realised this comment is 10 years old😂)

[@audreystevens4505]

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.

[@Jacob-ry3lu]

I dont drink alcohol. Can you make this with heroin in place of the alcohol?

[@Rehdman6444]

+jacob lahr Just puree the cooked bananas and push the puree through a very fine mesh sieve before loading your syringe.

[@SuzanneBaruch]

Only if you cook the heroin with a freakishly small wooden spoon. Otherwise, NO.

[@brianb8799]

Suzanne Baruch that was funny

[@queennegus7239]

jacob lahr LMFAO!!!

[@zingster7172]

Ground crystal meth mixed with a little water works pretty well

[@redstars555]

You're a wizard Chef John!

[@Walt1119]

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...

[@WzeOwl]

Had some today it is absolutely delicious.

[@queen2be1000]

I am so making this. This reminds me of when I first tried this in Vagas .

[@dilemmix]

I love Chef John, especially his recipes with alcohol! Oh and cayenne of course!

[@sandraburki4308]

Looks so good. I think I am going to try this,I’ve never had it.

[@LaneBeScrolling]

I do generally prefer something with a little more girth

[@mariannesouza8326]

CMiller1334 That’s what she said! 😂

[@chocolatekss]

Mari Anne Souza I came here JUST to say that 😂😂😂😂😂

[@janauskr]

You can use other varieties of banana that can be cooked and eaten while underripe. They will have more girth than the ripe ones.

[@RozArialind]

Dont we all

[@fairskyze]

lol

[@TR-tz8ch]

This is my favorite dish ever ….. thank you for the awesome recipe 🤗

[@bear5945]

I didn't have any alcohol, but I did have some gasoline. Works just as well and even gives a better flavour.

[@Danelly112]

😂

[@TuliTukka123]

Just dont...

[@bear5945]

Lol I forgot about this aha

[@prophetent.8649]

Underrated comment

[@greg6107]

I hope you used unleaded.

[@batfinksdad]

Just made this with Banana and peanut butter rum. I burnt the caramel mixture but It was still absolutely delicious . I think this would be great with any dark spirit

[@Kwntum]

Thank you for sharing your delicious experience with us

[@timzhu6805]

I like the way this guy speaks 囧

[@Magmaster13]

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..

[@mantra4ia]

This video is quite cheeky, in addition to being one of my favorite recipes. Love it.

[@linnyw1072]

I just love your voice.

[@scotthouston7116]

I just made this again... and I used alcohol. And a shakah shakah. Very very good!! Thank you chef !

[@noyfub]

I remember the first time I had this at Brennan's. Truly amazing stuff.

[@holypicklesmofo]

I love this man so much 🥺

[@foosecamaro9789]

Great video. I love the way you commentate your videos.

[@sonnyr.3842]

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.

[@deloresbusch8916]

That looks delicious 😋

[@whiteedk]

Looks sooooo good

[@McGregorGirl]

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!

[@thepotters888]

Looks amazing

[@ochun57]

Amazing recipe. Thank you so much.

[@kellyhay79]

My absolute favourite dessert!!!!

[@MirdBird]

Oh you are good chef john. I was looking up "food wishes bananas foster" literally hours before it came out.

[@ChandraR4u]

Love that looks very good....

[@dsps4gaminglounge752]

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!

[@Homeycircle]

*I love fried banana!* have to try this recipe ... used to cook something similar ..

[@leeyogarci]

my husband and I made this tonight for dessert I was awsome :)

[@masmainster]

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.

[@david640]

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.

[@nicksedla123]

This guys sense of humor is gold lol

[@facu5661]

Hi John!. I'm a big fan from Argentina. It's great to put a bit of salt along with the brown sugar!

[@BlinkinFirefly]

i didnt have rum so i used amaretto...it still was GLORIOUS

[@KeishaBaby1414]

Looks yummy

[@GamesplayChris42]

Three words "Bananas Foster Waffles"

[@BlinkinFirefly]

omg YAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS

[@Raiboo]

I have to try that someday, You are a genius.

[@planecrazyish]

spectacular.

[@Supperconductor]

I serve this with butter pecan ice cream, amazing combo.

[@SarafinaSummers]

Serve these with warm blondies.

[@happyheyhi]

This is the best dessert ever.

[@MaggiiSpacePanda]

*throws in cinnamon* "Oh yeah, that's some serious Harry Potter stuff right there!"

[@witchinspired9944]

Gotta try this

[@lildoc]

Fos...ter lol The only cooking channel on KZbin that makes me laugh out loud for real!

[@Makingnewnamesisdumb]

You are the Michael Bay of your Flambe.

[@CIorox_BIeach]

Boom.

[@AsintheDaysofNoah]

Sounds yummy!

[@transce]

This guy talks like a good kindergarten teacher, musical and soft.

[@kingbrown8308]

[@marunio1]

Great dessert.

[@jasong2269]

[@Anglneo]

Have you tried it with sour cream or creme fresh? Wonderful!

[@ThesharpNshiny]

"Vantastic!". Great one Chef John

[@wjrasmussen666]

I love bananas fosters.

[@micheleleckner859]

awesome video, thanks!

[@CreeperDroppings]

Doesn't all the alcohol burn up so its non-alcoholic?

[@TheMeslava]

Yes, but people are dumb.

[@ivoryorchidfemme]

Yes

[@BullshitDetector]

Yes...... but that doesn't matter to some people. If they can't drink it, they can't cook with it.

[@LozzerGuide]

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

[@SniperNationz]

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 ?

[@vickiclark1998]

If I liked bananas, this would be awesome!! I'll make it for my friends for sure!!

[@torychag1054]

"Oh yeah! That's some serious Harry Potter stuff!" LOL made my morning :-)

[@landryj1k]

I made this for valentines....I made a bread pudding and put it at the bottom of the bowl before assembly...

[@Jolene8]

Drool! Need to make!

[@LizaMarie408]

What a fun video to watch!!! To attempt? Maybe. Lol

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Looks amazing!
