How Alan Fisher dethroned Hilda Baci
In a publication on its official website on November 7, GWR explained that Fisher cooked for 119 hours and 57 minutes to shatter Hilda's record.
Fisher, an owner and chef of a restaurant in Japan, also claimed the longest baking marathon (individual) record, which Wendy Sandner of the United States previously held with a time of 31 hours and 16 minutes.
The prestigious body shared what made Fisher's record impressive.
"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!"
Fisher's announcement as the new record holder stunned Nigeria as Hilda spent over N80 million for her cook-a-thon.
