Ghanaian chef, Ebenezer Smith, popularly known as Millennium Chef Smith, has announced his plans to set a new Guinness World Record by preparing the biggest pot of fried rice.
This bold move comes not long after Nigerian chef Hilda Baci made headlines worldwide with her record-breaking cook-a-thon.
While her marathon was all about endurance, Chef Smith is choosing a different path, going straight for size.
And not just any size, but a pot of fried rice big enough to feed an entire community.
In a promotional flyer making waves online, the chef is seen standing confidently over a mountain of fried rice with the bold question: “Are you ready?” His answer? A clear yes.
Social media reactions have already started pouring in. Some are cheering him on, proud that Ghana is taking its turn in the global spotlight. Others are cracking jokes about who will wash the giant pot when it’s all over, or what happens if the rice gets too salty.
Chef Smith hasn’t revealed the official date and venue for the challenge, but the buzz is already building. One thing is certain, whether he makes history or just fills thousands of stomachs, this attempt is going to be one of the most talked-about food events of the year.
With Ghana and Nigeria often battling over jollof supremacy, Chef Smith’s giant fried rice might just give the debate a whole new twist.
For now, the world is watching, and Ghana is hungry.
