Good NewsAustralian chef’s pancake tower sets world record
Australian chef Andy Wrobel flips more than 100,000 pancakes a year at the Pancake Parlour in Melbourne.
His pancake expertise has now landed him a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. Wrobel successfully built the tallest tower of pancakes, with 60 stacked pancakes measuring an impressive 76 centimetres high.
The chef broke the world record on Shrove Tuesday that many of us know as Pancake Tuesday. His tower surpassed the previous record of 74 centimetres, set by a cook in Crotia in 2008.
"We tried last year and we got to 61 centimetres and did pretty well. We thought we'd give it another go and this year [and] we actually did it," Wrobel told ABC.
"We had a lot of practices, spent about 50 hours, probably used another quarter of a ton of buckwheat mix and we finally got to the point where we needed to go."
