Mexico Seeks Guinness Record with 5,000 Chefs (AFP, 1/17/13)
Mexico City - At least 5,000 chefs, sommeliers and waiters are summoned to meet in March at the Angel of Independence in Mexico City to break the Guinness record established in 2012 and to establish a national Mexican Gastronomy Day, organizers said.
"We want to dress in white at the Angel of independence," Víctor Hugo Rodríguez said at a conference. He is a founding partner of Águeda Publishing, specializing in the sector and an organizer of the event.
In 2011, 400 chefs, sommeliers and waiters met; in 2012 the figure reached 900, said Rodriguez at an event which he pointed out that it won’t be until this year when his record is included in the "Guiness" book.
The organizers hope to establish an unprecedented mass meeting of professionals from the gastronomic sector in Mexico on Mexican Gastronomy Day, the third Saturday in March, he added.
In November 2010, Mexican cuisine was declared as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. http://www.oem.com.mx/elsudcaliforniano/notas/n2846364.htm

Now the Marine Sector is sending us to the city of Tampico, Tamaulipas where we will continue our duty," he said.
