[laughing]

00:00:04,571 --> 00:00:06,039
Today's a big day.

5
00:00:08,808 --> 00:00:11,644
We are hosting the
official attempt...

for the largest dim sum meal.

And have you already
signed the waiver?

10

- Okay.

12
00:00:22,422 --> 00:00:25,025
- So people start checking
in around 2:00 p.m.

13
00:00:25,025 --> 00:00:27,627
- We love food, it seemed
like a fun experience.

14
00:00:27,627 --> 00:00:29,562
We grew up with dim sum,
so thought it would be

15
00:00:29,562 --> 00:00:32,132
a good chance to kind
of get in on it.

16
00:00:32,132 --> 00:00:37,370
- The current record is held
by Australia for 764 people.

We have 900 people signed up.

18
00:00:39,005 --> 00:00:40,340
- So I joined the wait list.

19
00:00:40,340 --> 00:00:41,941
- And even more
on the wait list.

20
00:00:41,941 --> 00:00:42,942
- Okay, if you join
the wait list,

21
00:00:42,942 --> 00:00:44,477
you're gonna go wait in
that line right now.

22
00:00:44,477 --> 00:00:48,148
- And not only this, Seattle,
it's a FIFA, it's a World Cup,

23
00:00:48,148 --> 00:00:50,517
it's so nice to be
around this ambience.

24
00:00:50,517 --> 00:00:51,551

(cheering and applause)

32
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:05,265
- The rules that
I'm looking for,

33
00:01:05,265 --> 00:01:10,470
everyone is going to need to
eat the dim sum simultaneously.

34
00:01:10,470 --> 00:01:12,572
You're going to
have four pieces,

35
00:01:12,572 --> 00:01:15,141
and the way we know
you eat it completely

36
00:01:15,141 --> 00:01:19,045
is because we have stewards
who are watching you.

37
00:01:19,045 --> 00:01:21,214
So we know how many
people are here,

38
00:01:21,214 --> 00:01:23,383
we know how many
people have left,

39
00:01:23,383 --> 00:01:26,853
and we know how many
people have eaten the full

40
00:01:26,853 --> 00:01:27,987
dim sum dinner.

41
00:01:27,987 --> 00:01:30,857
- Jade Garden, a local
business nearby,

42
00:01:30,857 --> 00:01:34,227
they are providing the
3,600 pieces of dim sum.

43
00:01:34,227 --> 00:01:37,230
- Are you ready to try and break
a Guinness World Records title?

44
00:01:37,230 --> 00:01:38,765
- Yeah!

45
00:01:38,765 --> 00:01:39,566
- Okay.

46
00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:44,003
Is everyone ready
for the record?

47
00:01:44,003 --> 00:01:48,208
Three, two, one, go eat!

48
00:01:48,208 --> 00:01:48,908
-Let's go!
(loud cheering)

49
00:01:50,276 --> 00:01:53,146
-We're predicting, because it
shouldn't take too long for

50
00:01:53,146 --> 00:01:55,715
people to eat dim sum,
because it's so delicious, so

51
00:01:55,715 --> 00:01:57,884
it'll probably only
take about 30 minutes.

52
00:01:59,652 --> 00:02:03,556
Beyond just beating the world
record, our goal is to also

53
00:02:03,556 --> 00:02:06,659
bring people into the Chinatown International-District.

54
00:02:06,659 --> 00:02:07,861
We're a small neighborhood,

our businesses, our
events that we have here,

57
00:02:13,399 --> 00:02:15,268

Okay.

-Once everyone has eaten,

61
00:02:20,507 --> 00:02:24,644
we'll have our stewards verify,
then the Guinness World Record

62
00:02:24,644 --> 00:02:26,346
adjudicator will announce.

63
00:02:26,346 --> 00:02:28,481
-I've gone through the
steward's statements,

64
00:02:28,481 --> 00:02:30,683
I've reviewed the
count at the door,

65
