On Monday morning, Baci made history after cooking for more than 87 hours and 45 minutes, breaking a record that was previously set by India’s Lata Tondon back in 2019.

The feat was achieved at the Amore Gardens, Lekki in Lagos.

After breaking Tondon’s cooking record, the chef decided to go a step further by setting a new record of 100 hours.
