Personal Notes:
In the 1950's, New Orleans was the major port for bananas shipped from Central & South America. Mr. Brennan asked his chef to make something new with bananas, so the chef created Bananas Foster, named for a very good friend and frequent customer of Brennan's. It became the most popular dessert on the menu.
