The mode in which food is handled by supporters at Chef Damilola Adeparusi, also known as Chef Dammy, during her cook-a-thon has sparked controversy. A video circulating online shows multiple people struggling to eat from the same plate at the 120-hour Guinness World Record attempt by the chef from Oye Ekiti. It is noteworthy that Chef Dammy aims to break the record for the longest cooking time achieved by a human, currently held by chef Hilda Baci at 100 hours.
While fans have praised the deliciousness of Chef Dammy's meals, their method of eating from a shared plate has received mixed reactions on social media. Some expressed concern about hygiene and the potential spread of germs as multiple hands dipped into the same plate of food. Others criticized the public display of this eating practice, considering it bad publicity. However, there are still supporters who remain unfazed by the criticism, emphasizing their unwavering support for Chef Dammy.
The video capturing this mode of food consumption at the cook-a-thon has generated considerable discussion, with various opinions being shared online. The controversy surrounding the event has caught the attention of many, causing debates about appropriate dining practices and the impact on Chef Dammy's reputation.
