I was finally willing to try Hubby's favorite dessert - boy was it worth it! We thought it was a little too 'rummy' - but had used a really good dark rum. Maybe a more generic rum or slightly reduced would be better. Great with ice cream. Alton, you're my hero!
no alcohol better banana!

We didn't have banana liqueur, so I ended up using butterscotch schnapps instead. It still turned out AMAZING.. ate it over ice cream. Wonderful!!
Wow!

Wow this is good! I've had other recipes that did not use added spices (that used spiced rum) and this one is far superior. I have since substituted a little Grand Marnier-like liqueur for the banana liqueur and orange zest. It is FANTASTIC!
Outstandingly delicous and sophisticated

This delicious dessert is not only fun to make, it is fun to watch. The name may sound a bit pretentious, but the taste will appeal to white collar and blue collar people alike. Flambeing bananas is very appealing to the eye and in today's world most people eat with their eyes before the food touches their palate. Very seldom does the presentation of the dish originate in the preparation rather than the plating.
Great bananas foster

I could not find banana liquor except for liter bottles of questionable quality, so I tried cognac once and brandy once instead. Both worked well. The freshly ground nutmeg and allspice makes a world of difference in aroma and taste. I have also tried this with coursely chopped candied pecans on top of the vanilla ice cream (of course I used ice cream).
Yummy!!!

I loved this recipe, and it was super easy to make. I didn't have any banana liquor so I used Disaronno instead, and it turned out very well.
Excellent

This turned out fabulously, and was great fun to do in front of company. I used an electric pan with an extension cord so I could bring the action closer to the group. I could not find banana liquer, but I felt I needed some liquid to substitue, so I just used some H2O and it was fab. Also, I used light rum instead of dark to give it less of that overwhelming "rummy" flavor. Finally, since I tripled the recipe, I also tripled the amount of rum used, providing a very grand and impressive flame. A real performance piece, and delicious too!
good food

I only wish I had a portabel stove to do this a the table side. I can't wait to try it this summer on the grill. Great idea to the respondents to toss in a little cinnamon for sparkle an panash.

....and you get to make big flames. Recipe is super easy. I made it two nights ago....and my family asked for it again the next night. Starting without having done any prep I had it done in under 10 minutes the second time. I thought the recipe used was a little strong with the allspice and nutmeg flavors so I cut back on the second go. Also, I couldent find banana liqueur so I substuted triple sec (orange lequeur and it turned out fine.
I love you Alton Brown

I've made this several times. It's all easy stuff to have around except the banana liqueur, which isn't so tough to get.

I worked many years catering for a large hotel in Washington, DC., and one of the coolest things we used to do for a flambe was to toss a pinch of cinnimon into the flames...really! This creates a beautiful display. The cinnimon sparkles in the flame drawing ooo's and ahhh's from the guests. Try it!
A classic delight

Superb recipe for a classic delight. Had some trouble finding finding banana liqueur so I made my own using a simple syrup, vanilla, a very ripe banana and vodka in a mason jar -- took a month but it turned out well.

Couldn't be any easier. I have tried just about all of Alton's recipes and you just can't beat this one in terms of taste and ease of preparation. I highly reccommend this one.

Love it! If you do not have banana liquor just substitute some banana flavored extract. I like mine with cinnamon instead of nutmeg
