Singapore chefs attempt cooking record

Chefs in Singapore have tried for an off-beat world record by forming the longest line of cooks making the popular Southeast Asian snack known as satay - grilled meat on a wooden skewer.

Nearly 200 chefs arranged their charcoal burners end-to-end on Saturday in an 364-foot line, The Straits Times newspaper reported.

The previous record - set in Singapore in 1998 - was 272 feet, the report said.
