Chef Faila’s Cook-A-Thon Attempt Unsuccessful1 min read

Ghanaian chef, Failatu Abdul-Razak’s attempt to break the world record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual has been unsuccessful.

She had intended to beat the official 119-hour record set by Alan Fisher.

But in a press release posted on her Instagram page on Sunday, March 3, Chef Faila announced that her attempt did not meet some of the stringent guidelines set by Guinness World Records (GWR).

“A statement from the Records Management Team cited a violation of the rest break rules, resulting in an unsuccessful attempt,” part of the statement read.

Regardless of the setback, GWR commended Chef Faila and encouraged her to pursue future record attempts.

Meanwhile, Chef Faila says she is thankful for the support shown her by Ghanaians and everyone who rallied behind her during her attempt.
