D.C. Chefs Break Record with 20-Foot Pupusa

Jon Anleu, known for his pupusa pop-up 'Pupusa Time', has revitalized his business by sourcing heirloom masa, significantly enhancing the traditional Salvadoran dish. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., a team of chefs created the world's largest pupusa, measuring 20 feet in diameter, during the Fiesta D.C. festival for Hispanic Heritage Month. The event aimed to celebrate Salvadoran culture and included traditional fillings such as chicharron, mozzarella, and loroco. The successful creation of the record-breaking pupusa showcased the rich heritage and culinary skills of the Salvadoran community. The cooking process took several hours and was certified by a Guinness inspector to meet sanitary conditions. The giant pupusa, which can serve over 2,000 people, was made to honor Salvadoran culture and is expected to be featured in the next edition of the Guinness Book of World Records.
