Celebrity chef Hilda Baci has urged residents of Lagos to collect food from her recently concluded Guinness World Record attempt for the largest pot of jollof rice.
The event, held at Eko Hotel in Lagos, produced thousands of kilograms of rice, much of which remains available despite large-scale packaging and distribution.
In a video shared on Instagram, Baci said there was still an excess of food and encouraged people to bring containers to take portions home.
“We’re still packaging food. There is still so much food. Please, you guys, come through and come and get the food. It’s a lot and we cannot waste it,” she said.
Baci added that she would not leave the venue until the pot was emptied.
“This is 6 a.m. I’m not leaving this place. I’ve been here since the day before yesterday. And I’m not going to leave this place until this pot is empty and until everybody in Lagos has eaten from this food,” she said.
Hilda Baci gained international attention in 2023 after she cooked for 93 hours and 11 minutes to set a Guinness World Record for the longest individual cooking marathon.
