227 Hours: Ghanaian Chef Breaks Cook-a-thon Record
After cooking non-stop for more than 227 hours, Ghanaian chef Failatu Abdul-Razak appears to have broken the world record.
Failatu, who set the yet-to-be-verified record time on Wednesday, ended her attempt wrapped in her country’s flag, with a salute to the joyous crowd in Tamale, Ghana.
Her team says it will send the evidence to Guinness World Records (GWR) for official confirmation that she has broken the record.
GWR responded to Ms Abdul-Razak’s feat on X, formerly known as Twitter by saying: “We look forward to reviewing her evidence!”
The current holder of the record is Irishman Alan Fisher who cooked for 119 hours and 57 minutes.
In November 2023, Fisher had broken the last world record held by Nigerian chef, Hilda Baci, who clocked a time of 93 hours, 11 minutes six months earlier in May.
