Nigerian chef Hilda Chef says she remains a record holder despite the announcement that Irish chef Alan Fisher has broken the record for the longest cooking marathon.
Remember that on Tuesday, the body revealed that Fisher had “cooked for an incredible 119 hours and 57 minutes at his restaurant in Japan” in a post on X.
Hilda Baci removed the phrase “Guinness World Record Holder” from her social media bio after the GWR declared Fisher the record holder, prompting some internet users to express doubts.
She made the same changes to her bio that her predecessor, Indian chef Lata, did when she broke the record earlier this year, according to a post she made on X.
“Just as Chef Lata respectfully acknowledged the new record holder by updating her bio and later fine-tuning the wording, I’ve adjusted mine too.”
“Achieving such a record is no small feat, and I know this firsthand. I have only the greatest admiration for the hard work it took for Alan to reach such heights. Sportsmanship is about recognizing progress, whether the accolade is in my bio or not. I remain a record holder in spirit and in history. Let’s celebrate achievement and the spirit of competition.”
