Owning any type of Guinness World Record is a big deal, no matter how small or silly it may seem. You get to be part of a small group of people and have the bragging rights of doing something that no one ever did. For example, visiting 69 fast food restaurants in 24 hours.
Ex-MasterChef finalists Nick DiGiovanni and social media chef Lynn Davis already own two Guinness World Records for making the world’s largest cake pop and world’s largest chicken nugget. They recently decided to add another one to their resume by attempting to break the world record for most fast food restaurants visited in 24 hours.
DiGiovanni and Davis decided to pick New York City’s Times Square as their starting location and brought an official Guinness adjudicator to follow them and make sure everything was legit. As part of their quest, they had to enter each location and purchase at least one menu item. The adjudicator clarified that they don’t have to consume everything they buy, so the pair decided to give away most of their purchases to strangers.
In the end, the dynamic duo managed to visit 69 fast food restaurants, easily beating the previous record of 50. They did all of that on foot, needing seven hours and 15 minutes to hit all the locations and walking eight miles in total. Check out what their Guinness World Record-breaking journey looked like in the video below.
