Chinese-Canadian Chef Wallace Wong Breaks Multiple Guinness World Records in High-Speed Vegetable Chopping
Wallace Wong, affectionately known as the "six-pack chef," has made a name for himself in the culinary world by setting numerous Guinness World Records for chopping vegetables and fruit at breakneck speeds.
The most notable of these records was set in 2023, when Wong, who was born in Ontario, Canada, to parents from Hong Kong, successfully chopped 166 slices of cucumber in 30 seconds while blindfolded during filming for the Italian reality show Lo Show Dei Record[1][2][3][4].
Since that initial record, Wong has continued to push the boundaries of speed and precision, setting or breaking at least 10 other records for chopping various vegetables and fruits[1].
Wong's love for food can be traced back to his childhood, where he and his family frequently enjoyed dim sum and hotpot. These experiences sparked a passion for food that has been a driving force in his career[5].
In addition to his culinary accomplishments, Wong is also a bodybuilder and has appeared on various Canadian shows such as Chopped Canada, Top Chef Canada, Fridge Wars, and Canada's Got Talent[6].
Wong's dedication to food and fitness, coupled with his exceptional skills, have earned him a well-deserved reputation as a master of his craft[1]. Despite not having any recent specific numeric records beyond the 166 cucumber slices in 30 seconds as of August 2025, Wong continues to break additional speed chopping records, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to his craft[1].

His commitment to health-and-wellness is further evidenced by his passion for fitness-and-exercise, as shown by his bodybuilding pursuits. In the world of sports, this Chinese-Canadian chef's tireless efforts have earned him an impressive lineup of at least 10 additional Guinness World Records in various health-related activities, apart from vegetable chopping.
