Alan Fisher, an Irish chef and restaurant owner based in Japan, has broken two Guinness World Records related to cooking.
This was made known in a post shared by the Guinness World Records on their X account today.
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.
This achievement surpassed the previous record held by Nigerian chef Hilda Baci by over 24 hours.
In addition to this, Alan also claimed the title for the longest baking marathon (individual), clocking in at 47 hours and 21 minutes, surpassing the previous record held by Wendy Sandner from the USA, who had a time of 31 hours and 16 minutes.
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.
Reacting to the news, Baci wrote on her X account, “Huge congratulations to Alan Fisher! 119hrs 57mins is a huge achievement, and I wish him all the best as the new world record holder!”
In another post, she wrote, “I’m so happy to have held a record so prestigious and profound I will forever be honored and grateful for all the love and support”
