Chef Faila Says Her Cook-A-Thon Is National Assignment: "I'd Shame The President If I Don't Make It"

• Failatu Abdul Razak is treating her longest cooking marathon record attempt as a national assignment
• According to Faila, failure in her quest is not possible because it is her mission to put Ghana on the global map
• In an interview, the chef opined that her inability to break the cook-a-thon record would bring shame to President Akufo-Addo and Ghanaians

Failatu Abdul Razak's quest to break the Guinness World Record is continuing at the Modern City Hotel in Tamale.

Already, Chef Faila has done over 100 hours of cooking, and she is on course to break the current record held by Ireland's Alan Fisher.

The Irish chef had earlier done 119 hours, 57 minutes to beat the record set by Nigeria's Hilda Baci.

Looking at her energy levels, Faila will likely break the record by an appreciable margin. New information from her camp indicates she intends to cook for 200 hours and even set other records.
