BRENNAN'S BANANAS FOSTER
"Owner of the world famous New Orleans restaurant Brennan's, Owen Edward Brennan challenged his talented chef, Paul Blangé, to include bananas as a way of promoting the imported fruit. In 1951, Chef Paul, created Bananas Foster. The scrumptious dessert was named for Richard Foster, who, as chairman, served with Mr. Brennan on the New Orleans Crime Commission, a civic effort to clean up the French Quarter. Mr. Foster was a frequent customer of the restaurant and a very good friend of Owen Brennan...."
