Irish chef Alan Fisher has secured the record for the longest cooking marathon, logging an impressive 119 hours and 57 minutes in the kitchen.
His achievement surpasses the previous record held by Nigeria’s Hilda Baci by an additional 24 hours.
“Alan Fisher (Ireland), an owner and chef of a restaurant in Japan, has broken two cooking-related Guinness World Records titles,” the British organisation said Tuesday.
“First up, he’s claimed the longest cooking marathon (individual) after clocking in a time of 119 hours 57 minutes. That is more than 24 hours longer than the previous record held by Nigerian chef Hilda Baci.”
In addition to his record for the longest cooking marathon, Alan also set a new record for the longest individual baking marathon. He completed this baking feat in 47 hours and 21 minutes, outperforming the previous record holder, Wendy Sandner (USA), who had a time of 31 hours and 16 minutes, as confirmed by Guinness World Records.
“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!” the post further read.
