Although Pulse reported that Chef Dammy’s spokesperson said she applied to Guinness World Records before attempting but they didn’t get a feedback at the time she was already cooking, Pulse News said they were not shown the application to GWR.

Chef Dammy also caught the attention of a Nigerian doctor, Dr. Ayo Arojo, who gifted the young chef N500,000 and a two weeks cooking tour of the US.

Announcing his offers for Chef Dammy, Arojo, via his Facebook page also drummed up support for the Ekiti Chef writing;

“Let us continue to support her ”.
