The dish was created in 1951 by Paul Blangé at Brennan's in New Orleans, Louisiana. At this time New Orleans was a major hub for the import of bananas from South America. It was named for Richard Foster, the chairman of the New Orleans Crime Commission and a friend of restaurant owner Owen Brennan. It is still served at a number of restaurants in New Orleans and elsewhere.
