An Irish chef and owner of a restaurant in Japan, Alan Fisher has broken two cooking-related Guinness World Records titles.
A post by Guinness World Record on its official X handle (formerly known as Twitter) on Tuesday, said Fisher claimed the longest cooking marathon (individual) after clocking a time of 119 hours 57 minutes.
This is more than 24 hours longer than the previous record held by Nigerian chef, Hilda Baci
The Irish chef also claimed the longest baking marathon (individual), with a time of 47 hours 21 minutes. The previous record holder was Wendy Sandner (USA), with a time of 31 hours 16 minutes.
It was gathered that Alan took on both attempts back to back, meaning he was at work in the kitchen for over 160 hours with just over a day of rest in between.
Recall that the Guinness World Record had in May 2023, after review of videos and evidence confirmed that Baci had broken the record longest cooking marathon (individual), with a time of 93 hours 11 minutes
