Chef Dammy cooks for 53 hours

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Chef Damilola Adeparusi (Dammy) moved closer to reaching her 120-hour cooking target.

The Ekiti chef cooked for 53 hours. Over 200 viewers were hooked to her Instagram live session in the early hours of Sunday, June 11.

Lady pays gate fee at Chef Dammy's cooking venue

In similar news, a Nigerian lady, Debbie Agboola, who was at the venue where Chef Dammy is currently cooking and working on beating Hilda Baci's 100-hour record, shared her story about the visit.

The lady said she was surprised when she got to the venue and was told there was a N1k gate fee for VIPs, and those who paid would be served food, unlike the regulars who would stay downstairs.

Debbie claimed that she transferred N2,000 for her and her friend. She was surprised to learn that the money would only cover the day and not the duration of the 120 hours cooking period.
