Chef Smith refused us updates on his GWR application - Cook-a-thon sponsors
Amadia Shopping Centre, the sponsor of Chef Smith’s recent cook-a-thon, revealed that the chef failed to provide updates on his Guinness World Records (GWR) application despite repeated requests. This lack of communication led to a standoff between the two parties.
Amadia Shopping Centre had fulfilled all their obligations under the three-year binding contract, including hosting a musical concert to celebrate Chef Smith’s achievement. However, Chef Smith did not reciprocate by providing updates on his GWR application, leaving Amadia Shopping Centre in the dark.
The situation escalated when Chef Smith announced a press conference without informing his primary sponsor, violating the contract’s right of first refusal. Amadia Shopping Centre’s management attempted to verify the authenticity of Chef Smith’s certificate at the press conference but was denied entry.
The police were called to intervene, resulting in Chef Smith’s arrest and the seizure of his certificate for further investigation. Amadia Shopping Centre has expressed disappointment in Chef Smith’s uncooperative behavior and reaffirmed their commitment to supporting genuine record-breaking attempts. The investigation is ongoing, and the public awaits the outcome with bated breath.
On July 2, 2024, Chef Smith hosted a press conference to declare his supposed triumph in shattering the world record for the longest cooking marathon. He presented a certificate purporting to be from Guinness World Records as evidence of his achievement.
However, Guinness World Records Limited’s PR Manager, Madalyn Bielfeld, quickly cast doubt on Chef Smith’s claim, revealing that the organization had received no application from him. She confirmed that Alan Fisher of Ireland remains the current record holder, having cooked for 119 hours, 57 minutes, and 16 seconds in Matsue, Shimane, Japan, from September 28 to October 3, 2023.
