Ghanaian chef Ebenezer Smith, who became infamous after his fake Guinness World Record (GWR) certificate stunt, has resurfaced, this time working at a restaurant.
A lady who visited the eatery recognized him and secretly recorded a video, later sharing it on TikTok.
The lady shared her mixed experience at the restaurant in her post, praising the food and acknowledging Chef Smith’s cooking skills. She, however, noted that despite the food being good, she had diarrhoea after. The video quickly gained attention, surprising many Ghanaians who had not expected to see the chef working after his controversial past.
How Chef Smith’s GWR drama ensued
Chef Smith became infamous in July 2024 when he claimed to have set the record for the longest cooking marathon. During a press conference at the La Palm Beach Hotel, he presented what appeared to be an official GWR certificate. However, investigations disclosed the certificate was fake.
Musician Nana Boroo and his sister, sponsors of Smith’s cook-a-thon event, reported him to the Ghana Police Service, leading to his arrest for alleged fraud.
After his release, Chef Smith came clean during an interview that he had deceived Ghanaians in his quest for fame. He confirmed that Guinness World Records had no record of him applying for or holding such an event and disclosed that he had printed the fake certificate to mislead people.
The TikTok video has sparked mixed reactions, with many expressing surprise at his employment and apparent return to normalcy despite the scandal.
