La
Dolce Vita's Special Dessert
La
Dolce Vita is pleased to offer you
a very special dessert that is prepared
right at your table.
In
the 1950's, New Orleans was the major
port of entry for bananas shipped
from Central and South America. Owen
Edward Brennan challenged his talented
chef, Paul Blangé, to include
bananas in a new culinary creation-Owen's
way of promoting the imported fruit.
Simultaneously, Holiday Magazine had
asked Owen to provide a new recipe
to appear in a feature article on
Brennan's.
In
1951, Chef Paul created Bananas Foster.
The scrumptious dessert was named
for Richard Foster, who, as chairman,
served with Owen on the New Orleans
Crime Commission, a civic effort to
clean up the French Quarter. Richard
Foster, owner of the Foster Awning
Company, was a frequent customer of
Banana's and a very good friend of
Owen.
Little
did anyone realize that Bananas Foster
would become an international favorite
and is the most requested item on
the restaurant's menu. Thirty-five
thousand pounds of bananas are flamed
each year at in the preparation of
its world-famous dessert.
