Guy hits 28 Michelin meals
A Las Vegas man set a Guinness World Record by dining at 28 Michelin‑starred restaurants in just 24 hours — a staggeringly logistical feat that underlines how accessible fine dining crawls have become (dexerto.com). The run is a reminder: high‑end restaurants are now part of extreme travel and food‑stunt culture. (dexerto.com)
Joshua Fyksen, a Las Vegas sommelier who works at Peter Luger Steak House inside Caesars Palace, is the individual behind the attempt. (aol.com) Guinness World Records lists the official date of the attempt as 10 May 2025, with Fyksen reporting the effort took place over 9–10 May 2025 in New York City. (guinnessworldrecords.com) Fyksen told Guinness he spent $976.97 on food and $474.37 on transportation, a combined outlay reported elsewhere as $1,451.34 for the day. (upi.com) He began the run at Oxomoco in Brooklyn and finished at Gramercy Tavern in Manhattan, and singled out dishes including the Jonah crab salad at Le Pavillon, the Scallop Dumpling at Tuome, and the Tortellini Pomodoro at Torrisi as personal highlights. (upi.com) Fyksen spent months planning, reviewed the Michelin Guide for possible quick-service options, attempted to contact restaurants for à la carte exceptions, and even scouted Eleven Madison Park’s bar for bite-sized options to save time. (guinnessworldrecords.com) He reclaimed a record he first set in 2023 (22 restaurants) after Sujoy Kumar Mitra and Rajnish Kumar Tripathi reached 25 in Hong Kong in 2024, and Guinness specifies that each “visit” requires purchasing and consuming at least one food item at every venue.
