GWR: Irish Chef Dethrones Nigeria’s Hilda Baci, Breaks 2 Cooking Records

An Irish chef, Alan Fisher, who owns a restaurant in Japan, has broken two cooking-related Guinness World Records (GWR).

LEADERSHIP recalls that GWR confirmed Nigerian celebrity chef, Hilda Bassey, a.k.a Hilda Baci, as the record holder for the longest cooking marathon by an individual after she cooked for 93 hours earlier in the year.

However, on Tuesday, Guinness World Records announced that Fisher had claimed the longest cooking marathon by an individual after he clocked in a time of 119 hours 57 minutes. That is more than 24 hours longer than Hilda Baci’s record.

“What’s even more impressive is that Alan took on both attempts back to back, meaning he was at work in the kitchen for over 160 hours with just over a day of rest in between!,” GWR wrote on its official site.

According to GWR, Alan Fisher broke two cooking-related Guinness World Records – the longest cooking marathon (individual) and the longest baking marathon (individual) for 47 hours 21 minutes.
