The True Post (Web News) Last Wednesday was an unusual day for foodies and customers in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
Popular local restaurant Smokey’s BBQ attempted a feat that caught the attention of not only locals but also food lovers across the country. The restaurant created an **81-foot-long beef kebab wrap and claimed to be in the running for the Guinness World Record. According to Smokey’s BBQ owner Tigran Kadifchin, the idea wasn’t just for marketing or fame, but rather a passion for food and a passion for doing something unique. “We thought that people eat ordinary food every day. Why not do something that would not only make the city famous but also create a memorable moment for foodies,” says Kadifchin. “The team spent weeks preparing for the project, as it wasn’t just about making a long kebab roll, but also **quality taste** and **food safety** were also top priorities.” Making an 81-foot-long kebab may seem like a simple task, but in reality, it required a lot of planning and hard work. The team divided the process into several stages.
1. Selection of ingredients:
Preparation of high-quality ground beef, fresh vegetables, special spices and long wraps (flatbread).
2. Kitchen Management:
Special configuration of ovens and grills to handle such a large amount of meat and cook it evenly.
3. Hand speed and coordination
A large team was required to assemble the kebabs so that each piece had the same thickness, flavor, and shape.
According to restaurant staff, at least 20 chefs and assistants were working together during the kebab preparation. Large steel planks and long meter tables were used to fold and prepare the 81-foot wrap.
A large number of citizens gathered outside Smokey’s BBQ on this historic day. From children to the elderly, everyone took out their mobile phones and took videos and pictures of the moment. The restaurant announced that the public would be given the opportunity to taste the kebabs for free after they were ready, which further increased the excitement of the people.
Citizens commented on the occasion, saying, “This is truly a point of pride for Windsor, we have never seen such a long kebab.” “Both the taste and the creation are fantastic, hopefully this will go down in the record books.”
Smokey’s BBQ management has sent all the evidence (videos, photos, measurements) of the finished kebab to Guinness World Records headquarters. The restaurant says that once approved, it will be the first restaurant in Canada to hold the record for **the longest beef kebab wrap**. “This was a first attempt, a kebab of this length is not bad, but we think there is room for further improvement. In the next attempt, we will prepare an even longer and tastier kebab,” says Tigran Kadfchin.
Smokey’s BBQ uploaded several videos of the kebab preparation and presentation on its Instagram page (s.mokies), which immediately received thousands of likes and comments. Users called the initiative **“food art” and “a gift for food lovers.”
According to experts, such creative initiatives also prove beneficial for the local economy. When a unique world record is set in a city, it attracts the attention of tourists and provides a branding opportunity for small and large businesses. The Windsor city administration has also described this initiative as positive publicity and has expressed hope that more such initiatives in the future will bring global fame to local events.
The secret of taste – the characteristics of the Smokies
Smokey’s BBQ is known for its mildly spiced, smoked beef dishes. The restaurant says the kebabs are made with the same secret spices that their regular customers love. Maintaining the **uniform flavor** of the 81-foot kebab was the biggest challenge, which the experienced chefs successfully overcame.
Future planning
Tigran Kadifchin told the media that in the next phase, the restaurant will not only make longer kebabs** but also organize charity events to use this unique skill for community service. “If we make a 100-foot or even bigger kebab next time, we would like the money raised to be donated to local charities,” he said.
