Irish Chef, Alan Fisher on Tuesday was declared the Guinness World Record holder for the “longest cooking marathon by an individual.”
Fisher clocked a time of 119 hours 57 minutes 24 hours to break the record set in June by Nigerian-born chef, Hilda Baci.
The Guinness World Records (GWR) had in a statement confirmed the development in which it also announced Alan Fisher as the new record-holder.
The new marathon cooking by a single individual record holder, according to GWR was looking for a new challenge the year of his graduation from Dublin City University in 2008.
He had gone through a graduate programme, which introduces Irish graduates to companies in Asia. He was also fortunate to get a job offer in one of the top companies in Tokyo.
After About six years, Alan established himself in Tokyo, and also met his wife (and to-be business partner), but didn’t feel some thing was right.
So in August 2014, Alan took a leap of faith and decided to start his own business; it was not too difficult for him to pick Irish food and culture as the main themes of his business.
Alan restaurant Kyojin Stewhouse had to focus on the mainstays of Irish households: stews, soups, homemade breads, and potatoes. According to Alan, customers do not only feel like they are in Ireland, but also feel as if they are at their homes.
