Nigerian Chef Hilda Baci is longer the holder of the longest cooking marathon record
This was after Allan Fisher from Ireland, an owner of a restaurant in Japan smashed her record.
Fisher broke two cooking related Guinness World Records titles.
First up, he’s claimed the longest cooking marathon (individual) after clocking in a time of 119 hours 57 minutes.
That was more than 24 hours longer than the previous record held by Nigerian chef Hilda Baci.
Fisher 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.
He worked for 160 hours to enter into the history books.
Fisher’s Story
On the year of his graduation from Dublin City University in 2008, Alan was looking for a challenge. By going through an overseas graduate programme, which introduced Irish graduates to companies in Asia, Fisher received a job offer at a company in Tokyo.
About six years later, Fisher had established himself well in Tokyo, and also met his wife (and to-be business partner). But something didn’t feel right for him.
“After the wedding, saying goodbye to 30 friends and family who came over, I remember a feeling of being trapped, thinking to myself, ‘Is this it? Is this my life now, to have kids and work in the same company?’ It was time for the next challenge.”
