The city of Hermosillo, Sonora, managed to obtain the Guinness Record with The World’s Largest Roast Beef 2023! In an event in which 2,400 grillers participated, the Guinness Records judge certified the participation of 2,185 of them. As a consequence, the Canadian record was broken, which in 2015 brought together 916 grillers.
The event was promoted and supported by local and state authorities of Sonora, among them the municipal president Antonio Astiazarán Gutiérrez; Célida López Cárdenas, Secretary of Tourism of the State of Sonora; Gertie Agraz Boeneker and Fernanda Cisneros Rodríguez, General Director and Director of Tourism Development of the Municipal Agency for Economic Development (AMDE).
The organization was in charge of businessmen Miguel Ángel Figueroa Gallegos and Iván Contreras, whose patronage, the Sonoran Foundation for the Support of High Performance Athletes (FUSADAR)will donate the profits to promote sports in the entity through scholarships.
The World’s Largest Roast Beef 2023: the Guinness Record was achieved for Hermosillo
Figueroa Gallegos, in his capacity as president of FUSADAR, reported that they were 1,200 grills those that helped Hermosillo obtain the title of the largest roast beef in the world. Each barbecue kit cost 3,500 pesos and included a barbecue, a commemorative plaque, 4 kilograms of meat, charcoal, aprons, and caps alluding to the event.
The Guinness Record judges took logistics into account and counted the number of people who simultaneously grilled meat for five minutes. It should be noted that three weeks ago in Brazil an attempt was made to break the Record, but the project failed.
“To break the record, we have all the grillers roast meat for five minutes without stopping, and without leaving the grill, after that, between 1:05 p.m. and 1:15 p.m., the judge removes all their supervisors and checks if We abide by the rules”Figueroa Gallegos commented a few moments before the celebration.
The World’s Largest Roast Meat 2023 was attended by the Governor of Sonora, Alfonso Durazo; Antonio Astiazarán, mayor of Hermosillo; and Miguel Torruco, Secretary of Tourism of the Government of Mexico, who also roasted meat and received the award from the judge.
With The World’s Largest Roast Beef 2023, an economic spill of approximately 4 and a half million pesos was achieved. The meat was shared with all the public who requested it.
