Munachimso Nwana, a 22-year-old content developer and culinary consultant, broke the previous record by going to 150 fast-food establishments in a single day.
The effort to break the record, which was set by American YouTuber Airrack last year with 100 restaurants, was made in Abuja.
On Wednesday, the Guinness World Records website revealed that Brian’s trip started at Chicken Republic in the Gwarinpa neighborhood and ended at Kilimanjaro in the city center.
Since private transportation is not allowed for this record attempt, he walked more than 25 kilometers throughout his challenge.
Brian reflected on the event, saying, “It was much more daunting and challenging to do this in Abuja because New York has clusters of restaurants and adequate public transportation systems.”
Brian had to buy and consume at least one meal or drink item at each place in order to achieve the record’s requirements, with at least 75 percent of his orders having to be for food.
He tried a variety of foods, including burgers, pizza, fried chicken, shawarma, and moin moin, a bean pudding, which is one of his favorite Nigerian treats (a swallow meal).
Even with so much food consumed, Brian made sure that nothing went to waste by having his staff and the general public share in the leftover meals.
Brian took up this challenge with the intention of showcasing the complexity of Nigerian food as well as the diversity of Abuja’s restaurant scene.
This track record demonstrates the value of keeping an eye on the Nigerian culinary scene. He remarked, “I would like to welcome visitors from all over the world to come and explore the Nigerian culinary scene.
