Alan Fisher, an Irish chef and restaurant owner based in Japan, has dethroned Nigeria’s Hilda Baci to break two Guinness World Records related to cooking.
Guinness World Records disclosed this in a post on their X account on Tuesday.
Sharing the news, GWR said, “Nigerian cooking queen Hilda Baci has been dethroned 😳
“Alan Fisher from Ireland cooked for an incredible 119 hours and 57 minutes at his restaurant in Japan.”
Alan secured the title for the longest cooking marathon (individual), setting a new record with an astonishing time of 119 hours and 57 minutes.
Hilda Baci, a Nigerian chef, had previously held the record, but this achievement beat it by more than 24 hours.
In addition, Alan set a new record for the longest baking marathon (individual), clocking in at 47 hours and 21 minutes, breaking Wendy Sandner’s previous mark of 31 hours and 16 minutes from the USA.
Alan took on both challenges consecutively, spending over 160 hours in the kitchen with just a little over a day of rest in between the two record-breaking attempts.
