Adeyeye’s attempt is coming a few weeks after Guinness World Records announced chef Hilda Baci as the new record holder for the longest cooking marathon by an individual, with a time of 93 hours and 11 minutes.
Last month, a 22-year-old chef Damilola Adeparusi, also known as Chef Dammy, completed a cooking marathon lasting 120 hours in Ekiti State. However, the attempt was not acknowledged as it was not officially registered with the Guinness World Records.
