Agency Report

Alan Fisher (Ireland), an owner and chef of a restaurant in Japan, has broken two cooking-related Guinness World Records titles.

This was made known in a post shared by the Guinness World Records on their X account on Tuesday.

Sharing the news, GWR said, “Nigerian cooking queen Hilda Baci has been dethroned 😳

“Alan has claimed the longest cooking marathon (individual) after clocking in a time of 119 hours 57 minutes. That is more than 24 hours longer than the previous record held by Nigerian chef Hilda Baci.

“Alan then 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.

“What’s even more impressive is 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!

“Alan learned about the longest cooking marathon record in March while he was participating in the “I Love Ireland” festival in Tokyo. During this festival, Alan stood inside a rented kitchen car and stayed overnight twice.

“During a break, he searched on the internet to find out that the record at the time was held by Lata Tondon (India) with a time of 87 hours 45 minutes. Then in May, Alan realised that Hilda Baci had extended the record to 93 hours and 11 minutes.

The news has evoked various reactions from Nigerians.

A Twitter user named DanielRegha commented, “Hilda Baci’s reign has come to an end, but her name will forever be inscribed in the history books, which is an achievement.

“Congratulations to the new Guinness World Record holder. It’s just a matter of time before someone else attempts and claims the crown.

“A big shout-out to the previous record holders, and best wishes to all.”

Another user, DeanOfBoiz, added, “Hilda Baci remains unparalleled; she didn’t merely cook but also brought fresh fame to the Guinness World Records.”

Amosegun expressed optimism about Hilda’s potential comeback, stating, “Keep an eye out for Hilda’s return. This will make her exceedingly prosperous, as numerous brands will want to associate with her. Congratulations in advance to Hilda, and kudos to the new champion!”

DavidMpopo01 said, “Hilda Baci will surpass this……the next cooking marathon will be announced soon.be eternally remembered.”
