Hilda Baci’s Guinness World Record under threat as chef Adeola surpasses own 150hr mark
Ms Adeyeye Adeola, better known as Chef Deo has completed her 150-hour marathon cooking time by an individual she set for herself in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record (GWR) currently held by compatriot, Hilda Effiong Bassey (Hilda Baci).
Ms Hilda, the Akwa Ibom celebrity chef, had on May 15, this year, set a time of 93 hour and 11 minutes to beat an earlier time of 87 hours, 45 minutes, and 00 seconds, set by Indian chef, Lata Tondon in 2019.
Adeola, from Ondo State is the second Nigerian chef to attempt to break Hilda Baci’s less than two month-old Guinness World Record (GWR), after a failed effort by an Ekiti chef, Ms Damilola Adeparusi, who had unsuccessfully launched a 120-hour solo marathon cooking, last month.
Adeola’s latest effort which she tagged as ‘Deocookathon,’ began June 30th in Ondo state. She has continued cooking despite completing her 150-hour mark.
A post on her official Instagram handle read: “150 hours and still counting. The journey was rough but we pulled through.”
