She is aiming to clock a 120-hour cook-a-thon with the event hosted at the Modern City Hotel in Tamale.

Initial videos shared by the state broadcaster, GTV, showed Failatu and her assistants in their glass shielded kitchen setup embossed with the images of Chef Faila.

Alan Fisher cooked for 119 hours, 57 minutes and 16 second.
