Ghanaian Chef, Ebenezer Smith, falsified to be the current holder of the Guiness World Record cook-athon. He claimed to have achieved this feat with a whooping 802 hours and 25 minutes.

The current holder of the world record in this segment is Alan Fisher, an Irish chef, with 119 hours 57 minutes.

The difference in period, would then have been 684 hours 28 minutes.

Chef Smith, also known as Millenium Chef Smith, in a press conference, said that he started this cook-athon on the 1st day of February, and ended on the 6th of March, which coincides with Ghana’s Independence Day.

The Millenium Chef said his first application was submitted in June last year. This win was from his second application. He had applied again in November. He received an email notification and approval in January this year, he claimed.

The Millenium Chef also said that he utilized the regular application, out of the two available application options; the regualr application that takes the Guiness World Record(GWR), 12 weeks to get back to the applicant, and then, the premium application which takes a week.

He added that it was a difficult challenge, especially within the first and second weeks since his body had to neutralize to the new system of getting lesser rest, than usual.

“It has never been easy, knowing very well that you need to sleep at the time that you aren’t sleeping because you have focused your mind on something that you want to achieve, not only for yourself, but for your beloved country.”

He showed a certificate which, in comparison to  those of previous certified record holders, by critiques, has a stark contrast.


The PR Manager for the Guiness World Record, Madalyn Bielfeld, wrote refuting Chef’s Smith’s claims.

Chef Smith said he had been cooking since 2008, and that he is an executive chef.
