Chef Smith: Ghanaians Bank On Atinga After Cook-a-thon Fiasco

• Guinness World Records have denied certifying Chef Smith's cooking marathon attempt
• This comes after Chef Smith claimed that GWR has approved his record as the newest cooking marathon champion
• Ghanaians have now channelled their energies towards Atinga Joel, who seeks to become a record holder for the longest khebab marathon.

On July 2, Chef Ebenezer Smith held a press conference to announce himself as the world's newest record holder for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.

The Guinness World Records has distanced itself from Chef Smith saying it was not aware of his attempt and has not awarded his efforts.

This has sparked a frenzy online among Ghanaians who were rooting for Chef Smith's lie to be true.

Atinga Joel is next in line

Afua Asantewaa's unsuccessful singing marathon attempt last year gave way to a dozen others throughout this year, including Atinga Joel's barbecue grilling attempt.
