An Ekiti-based Nigerian Chef, Damilola Adeparusi, popularly known as Chef Dammy, says she’s now set to embark on another 150-hour cooking marathon to displace Hilda Baci, as the Guinness World Record Holder for the longest cook-a-thon by an individual.
Chef Dammy, who recently concluded a 120-hour marathon cooking on Wednesday morning, disclosed this in a statement posted on her Twitter handle on Saturday.
She said the completed 120-hour marathon cook was not registered with Guinness World Records and that she intends to embark on another 150-hour cook-a-thon that will be registered with Guinness World Records.
The statement partly reads, “I know there have been many speculations about me not registering the just-concluded marathon cooking, but my team and I have decided to embark on this new challenge next month.
“After the support that I have received from fans, well-wishers, and many highly notable individuals in the society. I, Adeparusi Damilola popularly known as Chef Dammy and my team have decided to hold another cook-a-thon programme next month.
“This time, it will be held for a 150-hour, and it will be duly registered with Guinness World Records. Chef Dammy is coming back!”
GWR had on Tuesday confirmed Hilda Baci, as the New Record Holder for the longest cooking marathon by an individual at 93 hours and 11 minutes, surpassing the previous record holder, Lata Tandon’s 87 hours and 45 minutes.
