Emeril worked at Commander's Palace which is owned by the Brennan family. I
believe banana's foster is from Brennan's restaurant. I've lived in New
Orleans for about a year and a half now and haven't figured out the whole
Brennan's thing yet. I do know that there is a split in the family where
there are some restaurants (Dickie Brennan's restaurants for one) which have
absolutely nothing to do with other Brennan's restaurants. It is possible
that Commanders is owned by a completely different branch of the family and
may not have access to the 'real' recipe. I don't know.

That being said, what's so bad about a little extra booze added to any dish?

BTW, I'd recommend Commander's Palace to anyone coming to visit New Orleans
so long as they have a few bucks to spend. It is a marvelous restaurant.
