Alan Fisher, who lives in Japan, has broken two cooking-related Guinness World Record titles. Fisher cooked non-stop for 119 hours and 57 minutes at his Irish-themed restaurant in Matsue, beating previous record holder Hilda Baci of Nigeria by more than 24 hours.
Mr Fisher also broke the record for the longest baking marathon by surpassing the record held by Wendy Sandner of the US, according to Guinness World Records. Mr Fisher baked for 47 hours and 21 minutes.
Mr. Fisher participated in both attempts back-to-back. According to Guinness World Records, the chef worked more than 160 hours in the kitchen, with just over a day of rest in between.

“Records are meant to be broken, but at least for today I can hold them both at the same time. So many sleepless nights, early mornings, fears and financial stress to keep the business alive. Just keep going and persevere. Breaking these records is a fitting way to share our story and raise a little awareness of the Irish connection here in Matsue,” Mr Fisher told Guinness World Records (GWR).
The Internet was quite impressed with Mr. Fisher’s performance and shared his appreciation in the comments section. One user wrote: “This man has two records in his pocket. The longest cooking marathon and the longest baking marathon… and he did it all the same day. He was in the kitchen for 160 hours. No, he’s too good,” one user wrote .
“Is this a joke? We’re coming for Alan Fisher. But congratulations to him,” another user commented.
“He won in the male category, and Hilda Baci won in the female category. Congratulations to Alan Fisher,” the third user wrote.
