Chefs attempt satay 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 in a 364-ft line, The Straits Times newspaper reported.

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

The new record bid will likely take several months to be evaluated by Guinness World Records.

Satay is grilled meat, usually chicken or beef, cooked on a wooden skewer over a charcoal fire and dipped in spicy peanut sauce
