The Most Ambitious Record Attempt in GWR History
Next March, the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong will host an unprecedented gastronomic spectacle as Gourmet World Records attempts to certify two world records simultaneously:
the largest charcuterie buffet by weight, with a 500 kg target, and the greatest variety of artisanal products, bringing together more than 200 distinct items in a single location.
This three-day event marks a defining moment for Gourmet World Records and sets a new benchmark for what is possible in the world of food and beverage record certification.
A New Scale for Food Records
Unlike traditional record attempts focused on speed or singular feats, this challenge is built around scale, diversity, and craftsmanship. The buffet will feature an extensive selection of cured meats, pâtés, terrines, and specialty products sourced from a wide network of producers, each representing different traditions, techniques, and regions.
Every element of the display will be carefully measured, documented, and verified to meet GWR’s certification standards. From individual product weights to variety classification, the process reflects GWR’s commitment to credibility, transparency, and professional oversight.
Dual Certification, One Unified Vision
Attempting two records at once is a deliberate choice. It reflects GWR’s vision of recognizing not just magnitude, but the breadth of sourcing and the complexity of execution. Achieving both records simultaneously requires meticulous planning, coordination across suppliers, and precise logistical control—making the certification itself as impressive as the final result.
Independent auditors and on-site officials will be present throughout the event to oversee measurements, documentation, and compliance with the official record framework.
More Than a Buffet
This event is not designed as a spectacle alone. It represents GWR’s broader mission: to provide a dedicated platform exclusively for food and beverage world records, open to professionals, producers, and individuals alike. By setting rigorous standards and focusing on verifiable achievement, Gourmet World Records aims to become the reference authority for ambitious culinary milestones worldwide.
As preparations move into their final phase, this record attempt stands as a statement of intent—demonstrating that food records can combine ambition, structure, and professional integrity on a truly global stage.
In March, history will be measured by the kilo, counted by the variety, and certified by Gourmet World Records.
