bb,
Where in Chicago did you get Bananas Foster?
 
And yeah, if you want to learn about ballot stuffing, always ask an expert.
 
AHI MPLS,
That sounds like genius.  I wonder if anyone has already put that on a menu.

It's been done by Emeril Lagasse! There's several other recipes on the Net!

That solves the dilemma and makes all of us happy!

Milwaukee's Coquette Cafe, just up the road from Buddy's neck of the woods, has had a bananas foster bread pudding on offer for the past few weeks as part of a special New Orleans menu. For the poll, I struggled between beignets and bread pudding: I haven't had bananas foster at Brennan's, but the versions I've had over the years have just been too gooey, goopy, and sweet. I prefer warm, melt-in-your-mouth beignets with a light dusting of sugar, or a not-too-sweet bread pudding that's chunky and light, not mushy and compact. Perhaps bread pudding made with beignets would be a good compromise! I ultimately chose beignets for their simplicity.
