    Chef Faila’s cook-a-thon attempt unsuccessful

    The attempt by Ghanaian chef Failatu Abdul-Razak to break the record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual has failed.

    Her goal was to surpass Alan Fisher’s official record of 119 hours.

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

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

    Notwithstanding the obstacle, GWR congratulated Chef Faila and urged her to go for more records.

    Chef Faila expresses gratitude to Ghanaians and everyone who supported her during her attempt.

    “Although this attempt did not result in a world record, it has been an invaluable experience. I am proud of the dedication and hard work put forth, and I am committed to continuing to push boundaries in the culinary world,” she added. 

    Chef Faila began her longest cooking marathon for GWR on January 1st and concluded it at the Modern City Hotel in Tamale on January 10th. 

    She spent ten days in the kitchen and finished her attempt at a 227-hour cook-a-thon.

    Failatu demonstrated remarkable culinary prowess during the long cooking session, crafting a wide variety of dishes in the midst of a vibrant cultural exhibition by the Northern Region’s populace.

  • Blakk Rasta asserts Cook-a-thon attempt by Chef Faila is a “suicide mission”

    Blakk Rasta asserts Cook-a-thon attempt by Chef Faila is a “suicide mission”

    The media personality Blakk Rasta has expressed apprehension about Chef Faila’s continuous endeavour to surpass the Guinness World Record for the lengthiest culinary marathon.

    Concerns regarding possible health risks related to Chef Faila’s cook-a-thon were voiced by Blakk Rasta. He vehemently disagreed with the notion that people should deprive themselves of enough sleep for an extended length of time, calling it a “suicide mission.” Using the occasion, he issued a warning against the growing nationwide trend of different types of marathons, such as sex-a-thons, stand-a-thons, and kiss-a-thons.

    Blakk Rasta stressed the importance of putting one’s own wellbeing first in a video that Happyhome TV posted on their YouTube channel. He emphasised that it is dangerous to go without sleep for longer than three days and made it clear that he could not support such initiatives. Although he commended the participants’ efforts, he hoped they would think twice about the possible long-term effects on their health.

    “They want to have a sex-a-thon in Ghana. Some wish to participate in a stand-a-thon. They spend five hours standing this way. No resting or doing anything for five hours. Another desire of some is to participate in a kiss-a-thon. That was a picture of Chef Faila in Tamale going about her business. Once more, even though we adore and value them, I will not support a suicide mission.

    “I also believe that going more than three days without sleep is a suicide mission. That is not something I will endorse. Regarding you, I have no idea. I refer to it as a suicide mission, but you call it pushing the envelope. He prayed that they would not perish and would take a lesson that would benefit the entire country.

    The Modern City Hotel in Tamale is the venue for Chef Faila’s cook-a-thon, which has already exceeded the 200-hour mark and is scheduled to last 240 hours in total.

    PomoAtFailaCookathon: Pomo and Chef Faila collaborate to feed for hundreds of attendees

    Hundreds of devoted supporters have flocked to the Modern City Hotel to support Chef Faila in her attempt to break the Guinness World Record. Pomo, a well-known tomato mix brand from the house of GBfoods Ghana, is giving away free hot meals to these supporters.

    As Chef Faila continues to cook, her fan base grows both at the venue and online, so it becomes more important to feed them. This growth occurs every hour.

    Many of Chef Faila’s supporters are not able to taste her food, even though she is producing incredible meals during the record-breaking attempt.

    However, her supporters are neither going hungry nor waning support, as Pomo has stepped in to provide hot meals.

    “We have a celebratory atmosphere which is serving as a huge morale boost for Chef Faila to continue cooking and meet her new goal of 240 hours, we do not want that to stop that is why we are making sure there is food available,” Category Manager at GBfoods Ghana, Yaw Amponsah Darko said in a statement.

    “When the food prepared by Chef Faila is not enough for the hundreds of supporters at the venue, our team steps in to ensure that there is food available to fans and supporters,” he added.

    “We are doing this to ensure that we keep the momentum going and get enough support to carry Chef Faila to a record-breaking time,” he maintained.

    The supporters, many of whom have been at the venue for hours had words of gratitude for Pomo Tomato mix brand for not only providing them with food but also helping to create a supportive atmosphere for Chef Faila.

    Ahlam Tahiru, 41, and a supporter of Chef Faila, who has been at the venue each day was grateful for the action taken by Pomo to provide hot meals for him and other supporters.

    Fatahiya Musah, 37, who is still insistent on tasting Chef Faila’s food was, however, also glad that she at least had food to keep her going from Pomo.
