Brian Nwana eats in 150 restaurants in a day to break Guinness World Record

One guideline for breaking this record is that contestants cannot use public transportation.

Additionally, they must purchase and consume at least one food or drink item from a restaurant during their attempt, 75% of the order must be food.

So, Brian completed the entire 25 km route on foot, starting at Chicken Republic in Gwarinpa and ending at Kilimanjaro in the central area of town. He took a nine-hour break between midnight and 9 a.m. to sleep.

Brian went to 150 locations, breaking the previous record of 100 set last year by American YouTuber Airrack in New York City.

He pointed out: “New York has clusters of restaurants and adequate public transport systems, so doing this in Abuja was much more daunting and challenging.”

Although he ate a range of cuisines like shawarma, pizza, fried chicken, and burgers, his favourite meals were Nigerian delicacies like moin moin (bean pudding) and àmàlà.

Brian ate a lot of food, “probably enough to last a week,” he said. He made an effort to sample something—even if only a mouthful—from all the places he visited.

The remaining food was devoured entirely by his crew and members of the public since waste isn’t allowed.

Brain’s motivation for breaking this record was to showcase the variety of Nigerian cuisines. He said, “I would like to encourage people from around the world to come and explore the Nigerian food space.”
