Irish Chef Dethrones Hilda Baci, Breaks Guinness World Records for Longest Cooking Marathon

Alan Fisher, an Irish chef and owner of a restaurant in Japan, has achieved two impressive Guinness World Records for cooking and baking marathons. Fisher’s culinary feats have earned him a place in the record books and garnered significant attention in both Japan and Ireland.

The first record that Fisher claimed is for the “longest cooking marathon (individual),” in which he cooked continuously for an astounding 119 hours and 57 minutes. This achievement surpasses the previous record held by Nigerian chef Hilda Baci by over 24 hours. Fisher’s dedication and endurance in the kitchen set a new benchmark for cooking marathons.

Following this remarkable accomplishment, Fisher proceeded to secure another Guinness World Record for the “longest baking marathon (individual).” He baked for an impressive 47 hours and 21 minutes, surpassing the previous record held by Wendy Sandner of the United States, whose time was 31 hours and 16 minutes. Fisher’s achievement in the baking category further showcased his culinary prowess and determination.

What makes these accomplishments even more remarkable is that Fisher undertook both record attempts back to back, which meant he was working in the kitchen for over 160 hours with just a little over a day of rest in between.
