Ghanaian
Chef,
Ebenezer
Smith,
popularly
known
as
Chef
Smith
has
expressed
regret
over
his
counterfeit
Guinness
World
Record
(GWR)
certificate.
At
a
press
conference
in
Accra
on
Tuesday,
Chef
Smith
claimed
to
be
the
current
GWR
holder
for
the
longest
individual
cooking
marathon,
with
a
remarkable
duration
of
802
hours
and
25
minutes.
However,
verification
with
GWR
revealed
that
the
certificate
presented
by
Chef
Smith
at
the
press
conference
does
not
originate
from
GWR.
GWR
clarified,
“The
current
and
true
current
record
holder
is:
The
longest
cooking
marathon
(individual)
is
119
hr
57
min
16
sec
and
was
achieved
by
Alan
Fisher
(Ireland)
in
Matsue,
Shimane,
Japan,
from
28
September
to
3
October
2023.”
In
a
conversation
with
Serwaa
Amihere
on
GHOne
TV,
a
tearful
Chef
Smith
apologised
to
Ghanaians
and
the
global
community
for
the
humiliation
and
his
lies.
“I
render
a
very
big
apology
on
this
big
platform,
and
I
apologise
to
the
world
that
I
am
so
sorry.
I
don’t
deserve
to
live.
But
in
my
quest
to
earn
a
living,
it
has
landed
me
this
way
I
am
sorry,
and
I
beg
the
entire
nation,”
he
expressed.
