Cook-A-Thon: Guinness World Records Reacts To Ghana’s Chef Faila’s Attempt
The Guinness World Records Twitter account has responded to Chef Failatu Abdul-Razak’s remarkable endeavour to break the record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.
After an impressive 226 hours, Faila officially concluded her marathon today, January 10, 2024. Ghanaian Twitter influencer Olele Salvador tagged Guinness and alerted them to this extraordinary feat shortly after Chef Faila brought an end to the cook-a-thon.
In response, Guinness expressed their intention to thoroughly examine all the evidence associated with the cookathon and duly acknowledge her achievement.
With an impressive total of 227 hours logged, Faila has easily surpassed the current record set by Irish Chef Alan Fisher (119 hours and 57 minutes). However, the official confirmation from Guinness World Records is still pending.
Driven by her unwavering determination and culinary expertise, she persevered and extended the marathon until January 10th.
Throughout this challenging endeavor, she captivated patrons with a delightful selection of local and international dishes, earning widespread admiration.
The city of Tamale, the capital of the Northern Region, became a vibrant center of support for Chef Failatu.
Dignitaries, celebrities, and influential figures from across Ghana rallied behind her, creating an atmosphere of excitement and encouragement.
Notable attendees included Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam (Minister of State at the Finance Ministry), Madam Akosua Frema Osei Opare (Chief of Staff), former First Lady Lordina Mahama, and former Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu.
