"Alan Fisher Sets New Guinness World Record for Longest Cooking Marathon, Surpassing Hilda Baci”

Irish chef Alan Fisher, who resides in Japan, has recently outshone Nigerian celebrity chef Hilda Baci by achieving not one but two Guinness World Records. The remarkable announcement came through an official post on the Guinness World Records' Twitter page, leaving the world in awe of Fisher's cooking prowess.

Alan Fisher's first record-breaking achievement was in the category of the longest individual cooking marathon, an astonishing 119 hours and 57 minutes. This impressive feat surpassed the previous record set by Nigerian chef Hilda Baci earlier this year, which stood at 93 hours and 11 minutes.

In his second groundbreaking achievement, the Irish chef secured the record for the longest baking marathon, an incredible 47 hours and 21 minutes. This accomplishment shattered the prior record held by American baker Wendy Sandner, which was 31 hours and 16 minutes.

What truly sets Alan Fisher's accomplishments apart is that he undertook both record attempts consecutively, dedicating an astounding 160 continuous hours in the kitchen—a testament to his unwavering determination and passion for cooking.

Fisher's journey towards these remarkable records began in March when he learned about the longest cooking marathon record while participating in the "I Love Ireland" festival in Tokyo. During the festival, Fisher found himself inside a rented kitchen car, even staying overnight on two occasions. It was during one of these breaks that he decided to delve into online research and discovered that the record at the time was held by Lata Tondon of India, who had achieved an impressive time of 87 hours and 45 minutes. Notably, in May, Fisher learned that Hilda Baci had surpassed the record with her extraordinary cooking marathon of 93 hours and 11 minutes.

Fisher's epic journey to culinary glory unfolded at his restaurant, Kyojin Stewhouse, which specializes in serving Irish cuisine. His decision to take on this remarkable challenge was driven by the difficulties posed by the pandemic, which had nearly forced his business to close.

To establish these records, the dedicated chef cooked a staggering 550 kg of food, creating a total of 3,360 servings of 32 traditional Irish dishes. Fisher attributes his success not only to his culinary skills but also to the unwavering support he received from his local community, which kept him motivated even during moments of fatigue and hallucinations.

Hearty congrats to Alan Fisher
