Chef Ebenezer Smith has been revealed not to be a member of the Chefs’ Association of Ghana, despite prominently displaying the association’s logo during his purported record-breaking cook-a-thon.

Mr. Smith participated in the event wearing a jacket adorned with the association’s official logo, creating the impression that he was affiliated with and endorsed by the association in his endeavor to achieve a Guinness World Record for the longest individual cooking session.

However, according to Peter Agbovi, the National Secretary of the Chefs’ Association, Mr. Smith has never been a registered member of the association.

Despite being notified to rectify this misrepresentation by formally joining the association, Mr. Smith did not take any steps to comply.

"In his cook-a-thon attempt, we observed that he was wearing a jacket bearing our logo. We promptly contacted him to clarify that if he intended to use our logo, he must first become a registered member of the Chefs’ Association of Ghana...

"He did not share his videos on our social media platforms during the event because he was not an official member and did not complete the registration process when we reached out to him. Following the cook-a-thon, we did not have any communication from him until yesterday, when he held a press conference," Mr. Peter Agbovi disclosed in an interview with GHOne TV.
