The famous beachside Hotel in Kerala’s capital city of Thiruvananthapuram proved
that they too are not far behind in
staging world record attempts. They are a good hotel so they would do
everything possible to be known in the
foodie circles. This kind of determines their business performance too. A hotel
would always try to be the finest player in the food and hospitality sector. In
this way it could garner the attention of more tourists and gain
International prominence.
Hotel Udaya Samudra in India has built a 50-foot sandwich
after a 10-hour long hard work and set the new world record for the tallest
sandwich. Some 40 employees at Uday Samudra Leisure Beach Hotel in Kovalam worked
for 10 hours to make the largest sandwich, surpassing the record set by
O’Brien’s Irish Sandwich Bar that made a 42-foot sandwich. The
125-decker “Wonder Loaf” sandwich displayed at Uday Samudra was 50 feet high
and 2.5 feet by 2.5 feet across the circumference containing more than 500 kgs
of vegetables, 250 kgs of meat and other related ingredients.
The
hotel director Rajagopal Iyer said that the objective of staging the record was
to bring the attention of the world towards the poor. He added that the entire
event was dedicated to the poor people and the revenues arising from this would come of great help to the various poor
homes in the city. Iyer further added for
a long time no record was staged on food and the tallest sandwich dished out by
the hotel was a gift from the hotel to the nation.
He
said the original plan was to finish it in four hours but the heavy monsoon
rains forced the staff to knit together an awning over the scaffolding to
prevent rain from washing down the product. Paul
Webster a retired police officer an occupant in the hotel said that it was
great that the hotel had broken the Irish record.
