Vilnius, Lithuania, 3 September, 2024 - Nordcurrent is turning up the heat to celebrate Cooking Fever's 10th anniversary with a sizzling Guinness World Record attempt! In a real-life reenactment of the popular game, top chefs in Vilnius, Lithuania, will race against the clock to break the record for assembling the most burgers in one minute. With the current record at eight, Nordcurrent's Cooking Fever-trained chefs are ready to take on the challenge on September 5th, 19:00 EET. Stay tuned for exciting videos and photos as they aim to make history!
“The idea to arrange a Guinness Record attempt has come quite naturally. We wanted to do something memorable for Cooking Fever on its 10th anniversary. Cooking Fever is about making good food fast and properly. Making a real-life burger assembling competition was one of the first ideas that the team came up with. Then we found that the burger speed assembling record already exists at Guinness. Who else can be better to beat that record, than a company who produces the major time management restaurant game? Our players serve millions of burgers every day at full speed - we know everything about how to make food fast, tasty and customers happy,” says Victoria Trofimova, Nordcurrent Group CEO.
Nordcurrent selected Vilnius, the birthplace of Cooking Fever and home to its headquarters, to show gratitude to the supportive community. With its vibrant and diverse restaurant scene, Vilnius offers the perfect backdrop for this challenge. Nordcurrent has partnered with well-known local burger houses, Drama Burger and Meat Busters, whose skilled chefs are eager to participate in the Guinness World Record attempt.
When asked whether the chefs from Drama Burger have been preparing to break the record, here’s what they had to say: “Training? Why should I be training if I was born ready. Like Cesar said Veni-Vidi-Vici. I am here to win,” remarks Karolis Čygas confidently. Paulius Staliorius adds: “I feel great, I really doubt that I will be training cause I already been training for 11 years so I guess it will be good enough to win.”
The Cooking Fever-trained chefs from Meat Busters are also ready to take on the challenge. With their skills honed both in the virtual and real kitchens, they're confident in their ability to rise to the occasion. Arvydas Kieras emphasizes this readiness, saying: "Both in the game and in real life, you face similar emotions and challenges. And only those who have a lot of determination overcome the difficulties and achieve their goals. I have everything I need for this challenge. Let me in the kitchen as soon as possible."
Sergej Kozlov also comments: "I've been playing Cooking Fever for as long as I can remember. I play when I want to relax or take my mind off things, when I want to pass the time, or when I catch the thrill of the game. But no matter what the reason, a good emotion always follows. And with that emotion, I'm on my way to achieving this record."
Stay tuned for the results by following Norducurrent on Instagram and LinkedIn and Cooking Fever’s recently launched YouTube channel which has quickly gained popularity and followers.
