It was in Oullins-Pierre-Bénite, close to Lyon, that the new world record for the longest barbecue was set. For 74 hours straight, the coals kept on heating, smashing the previous American record of 41 hours. At the helm were two well-known names in the local event scene: Maxime Balouzat and Cyril Leroy. This duo didn’t hold back in turning the idea into a feat validated by a bailiff.
74 hours of non-stop cooking and a mountain of meat
In total, 3.4 tons of meat were grilled without interruption. Merguez, beef ribs, chipolatas, pulled pork… everything was cooked on the five barbecues set up for the event.
On this occasion, at the helm was Cyril Leroy, a double French barbecue champion, who hardly left the coals all weekend. A culinary marathon where the focus had to be as intense as the heat of the flames.Voir cette publication sur Instagram
The event could never have happened without about fifty volunteers working day and night. The result: 10,500 meals served in total, all in a festive and impressive atmosphere. And because the event wanted to have meaning, 700 meals were offered to police officers, firefighters, and people facing hardship, especially during the nights of the challenge.
A record that's both delicious and supportive
Beyond the achievement, this world record also carries a strong sense of solidarity. The profits generated will be donated to the DNA association, dedicated to the inclusion of people with disabilities. A way to turn a culinary feat into concrete action, far from just a simple stunt.
