World Record pupusa in Washington, D.C.
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) – One for the record books in Washington, D.C. as 40 chefs broke the Guinness World Record for largest pupusa.
Pupusas are a traditional dish from El Salvador. The previous world record was an 18-foot pupusa in El Salvador.
The chefs undertook the challenge during Fiesta DC — a street fair celebrating latin food and culture.
The prep and cooking process for the 20-foot dish took several hours.
Chef Ben Velasquez said there is an official process for certifying the giant pupusa.
“There is an inspector for Guinness World Record certifying that we are using first, all of the international ways of sanitary conditions, the way the food is, safe to eat, etcetera,” Velasquez said.
Velasquez said their final product can serve more than 2000 people.
The project took more than 3 months of planning.
