The major byproduct of burning alcohol seems to be carbon dioxide. I haven't found any research on ethanol, but butanol burns completely into CO2. Both being relatively simple alcohols, I imagine the byproducts are the same. Hence, you shouldn't get any flavour change in your food. At worst, you might get a miligram of carbon or something left behind in your food.
