The Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest individual cooking marathon, Chef Abena Kwartemaa of Ghana found herself caught napping during the intense culinary face-off.
The viral video shows Chef Kwartemaa stirring a pot with determination before taking a seat behind the cooker, only to succumb to fatigue.
This unexpected nap unfolded amidst a fierce competition with fellow Ghanaian chef, Chef Smith, who had already clocked over 600 hours in the kitchen.
Chef Abena Kwartemaa, inspired by Chef Failatu Abdul Razak, had set out to surpass previous records but ended up catching some much-needed shut-eye.
As the video circulated on social media, viewers expressed concern in the comments, urging the dedicated chef to prioritise rest over the record-breaking attempt.
The footage captured Chef Kwartemaa seated comfortably, eyes closed, and hands folded, blissfully unaware as the food on the cooker continued to heat up.
In a dramatic turn of events, Chef Abena Kwartemaa’s ambitious journey to secure a spot in the culinary history books took an unexpected nap break, leaving audiences both amazed and concerned about her well-being.
Chef Smith has clocked over six hundred hours as he intends to halt his attempt on 5th March.
