‘Chef Dammy Did Not Apply Before Starting the Cooking Challenge’ – Guinness World Records

Guinness World Records has reacted to efforts by Nigerian chef, Dammy to break the cooking record of Hilda Baci.

The academy stated that no application has been received by the to date.

The Nigerian Ekiti-based lady, Chef Dammy took up the cooking challenge on Friday June 9, with the organisers saying she would cook for 120 hours.

Her bold attempt was greeted with mixed reactions with some berating her for attempting to break Hilda’s record just weeks after she set the record, while others commended her courage.

Chef Hilda Baci also endorsed Chef Dammy’s cook-a-thon via her Twitter handle.

However, Guinness World Record did not comment on Chef Dammy’s attempt throughout the duration of her cooking.

“We have not received an application for this attempt. Applications can be made via the Guinness World Records website for our records management team to review,” Guinness World Record said.

“Once an application is accepted, the record claimant receives a set of detailed guidelines specific to that record category that must be adhered to.

“This also details a list of evidence that must be submitted for our team to verify the record. Guinness World Records maintains a rigorous review process to maintain the integrity of each Guinness World Records title.”
