According to one origin claim, crêpes Suzette was named for which French actress?

According to one origin claim, crêpes Suzette was named for French actress Suzanne Reichenberg.

Reichenberg was a celebrated performer at the Comédie-Française who used the stage name Suzette. The naming theory connects her to a 1897 stage performance in which she played a maid serving crêpes. A nearby restaurant supplied the pancakes, and they were flambéed to attract the audience’s attention and keep them warm for the actors.

The story is not universally accepted. Another famous account credits Henri Charpentier with creating the dish by accident in 1895 at the Café de Paris in Monte Carlo while serving the future King Edward VII, then Prince of Wales. Charpentier later said the liqueur caught fire and that the dish was renamed for a woman named Suzette at the table. That version has been questioned because Charpentier was only 14.

Crêpes Suzette is now associated with a citrus butter sauce made from caramelized sugar, butter, orange or tangerine juice and zest, and an orange liqueur such as Grand Marnier or Curaçao. Thus, the quiz’s wording matters: Reichenberg is the answer to one documented naming claim, not an uncontested fact.
