A Ghanaian chef, Ebenezer Smith, a.k.a. Millennium Chef Smith, is in trouble after being caught and held at the La Police Station following his being caught for falsifying a Guinness World Record for marathon cooking.

This occurred when Chef Smith declared, along with a certificate serving as proof, that he was the new cook-a-thon record holder during a press conference on Tuesday, July 2, 2024, at the La Palm Hotel.

He stated that from February 1 to March 6, 2024, he completed 802 hours and 25 minutes, setting a new record.

“I am deeply humbled and honoured to announce that I am now the new world record holder for the cook-a-thon,” he said.

The text on his certificate reads: “The longest cooking marathon (individual) is 802 hours 25 minutes and was achieved by Ebenezer Smith (Ghanaian) in Spintex, Accra, Ghana. From 1 February to 6 March, 2024.”

A high-profile celebration including performers like Praye Tietia, Yaw Tog, Amerado, Kofi Jamar, and the Asakaa Boys marked the end of his cooking marathon.

In an interview with the BBC, Alina Polianskaya, the PR executive for Guinness World Records, refuted Smith’s statements, saying, “No, this is not true at all.” That is not our certificate, and he does not own the GWR title.

“The current and true record for the longest cooking marathon (individual) is 119hr 57 min 16 sec and was achieved by Alan Fisher (Ireland) in Matsue, Shimane, Japan, from 28 September to 3 October 2023,” he added.

He was arrested by the authorities not long after declaring his fake accomplishment and showing his diploma.

With 119 hours and 57 minutes, Irish chef Alan Fisher presently holds the record for the longest continuous cooking session. His accomplishment exceeded that of Chef Hilda Baci of Nigeria who in May 2023 cooked for 100 hours non-stop, breaking India’s Lata Tondon’s 87 hours 45 minutes record of uninterrupted cooking in the process.
