Here is a simple recipe for bananas foster from Brennan's in New Orleans.
 It's a good crowd pleaser if you make it at the table with an alcohol
 burner.
                          Bananas Foster
 4 TBSP  butter                      4 bananas cut in half---
 3 1/2   TBSP brown sugar            legth-wise, then halved
 1/2 tsp  cinnamon                   1/4 cup rum
 2 TBSP  banana liquor               4 scoops vanilla ice cream
 Melt butter over alcohol burner or in attractive skillet. Stir in sugar, 
 cinnamon, and banana liquor, and heat a few minutes.  Add bananas and 
 saute until slightly browned.  
 Add rum, heat well, then tip pan to ignite.  ("This is unnecessary without 
 an audience, unless you like fire." The alcohol will boil off after about 2 
 minutes.)  
 Sift bananas carefully out of pan, place four pieces over each scoop if ice 
 cream.  Spoon sauce over top.  Serves 4.
