Guiness Records

As part of his TV series Glutton for Punishment, Bob attempted to break or establish seven Guinness World Records.

In every episode in his series Glutton for Punishment, Bob has 5 days to train for a physically challenging, food-related skill. Then on the fifth day he is thrown to the wolves and has to compete in a professional competition, or rise to the occasion of a challenge. In season three of the series, Bob attempted to break a Guinness World Record for the most pancakes flipped in an hour. The episode was so successful that the Food Network asked Bob to create a season comprised exclusively of Guinness World Record attempts. He broke all seven of the records he attempted. Eight years later, he broke his 8th Guinness World Record record in Chatham, Ontario by leading a crew of locals to make the worlds largest Bloody Caesar Cocktail (recorded officially as the world’s largest Bloody Mary).

On July 11, 2008, at the Calgary Stampede, Bob attempted to break a Guinness World Record for the most pancakes made (poured, flipped and served) in one hour. He succeeded by flipping 559 pancakes.

On June 12, 2010 at the Jacksonville, Texas Tomato Festival, Bob attempted to break a Guinness World Record for the world’s largest bowl of salsa. He succeeded by slicing and dicing (along with a team of helpers) 2672 pounds of salsa.
