At 820 hours today, Ghanaian chef Ebenezer Smith, also referred to as Chef Smith, came to an end of the longest cooking marathon ever completed by one person.
Chef Smith started his attempt to set a new Guinness World Record on February 1, 2024, with the goal of becoming the record holder for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.
Despite his earlier complaints about the lack of attendance at his cook-a-thon, last night’s event went extremely well, featuring a star-studded lineup that included Praye Tietia, Yaw Tog, Amerado, Kofi Jamar, and Asakaa Boys.
Many celebrities passed through the Amadia Shopping Centre at Spintex during this incredible challenge, including Kwaku Manu, Clemento Suarez, and Nana Ama McBrown, among many others, to help Chef Smith achieve the amazing feat.
Chef Smith aims to beat the official 119-hour record set by Alan Fisher.
Officially announcing the end of his cookathon, he wrote on Instagram, “Happy Independence Day Everyone!Thank You all for the love. This is for us this is for Ghana ????????”.
