Guinness World Records: Ekiti chef reaches 85 hrs cooking
It was observed that Adeparusi is not looking weary or tired in her disposition or body language and is not distracted by some negative comments about her quest by certain social media users.
An Ekiti-born chef, Miss Damilola Adeparusi, hit 85 hours on Monday in her determination to set a new record of 120 hours of cooking marathon and emerge as a holder of Guinness World Records.
Supreme reports that the house where Adeparusi is currently undergoing the cooking marathon in Ilupeju-Ekiti has been powered by a generator set since she started on Friday.
Residents of Ilupeju-Ekiti, in Oye Local Government Area, had been experiencing epileptic electricity supply problems for many months before Adeparusi embarked on her quest.
Adeparusi’s friends and colleagues daily storm the house to watch and give her moral support to break the unofficial record set by another chef, Hilda Baci, a few weeks ago.
Some of her colleagues who are students also sleep over at the location while others come to visit and return after enjoying music and various delicacies she is cooking.
It was observed that Adeparusi is not looking weary or tired in her disposition or body language and is not distracted by some negative comments about her quest by certain social media users.
It was also observed that three heavily armed military officers have been deployed to the house to safeguard her and her supporters from unwanted visitors.
Also, cadet officers were deployed to the entrance of the building to ensure that orderliness is maintained as her cooking marathon progresses.
Supreme also observed the presence of some journalists and social media practitioners covering every detail of the marathon.
As of the time of filing this report, she has been able to cook several meals, such as Eba, beans with corn, Amala, Iyan, and rice, among other delicious meals.
