A burst of flames and sparks fly as a waiter prepares a liqueur-drenched dessert table-side at a local restaurant. This
French cooking procedure in which alcohol is added to a hot pan to create the effect is called "flambe". The word means "flamed" in French". Flambeing is often associated with the preparation of certain desserts like "Bananas Foster" or "Cherries Jubilee" where alcohol is ignited and results in a flair of blue-tinged flame.
Modern flambeing became popular in the late 19th century. The most famous flambe dish, "Crepe Suzette", was created accidentally in 1895.
Seen and photographed at the "Iron Gate" restaurant in Belmont, California.
