Seven cows and ten cooks later, this massive kebab had to be held in place by a crane in order to officially measure it.

So how much did it weight you ask? Officials confirmed that the gigantic meat mountain, weighing a whopping 2,635-pounds (1,198kg) and measuring 8-feet (2.5m), was indeed a new world record.

Working from a special set of scaffolding, the collection of cooks later cut the meat feast up into pieces for spectators at Ankara Shopping Fest in Genclik Park, Ankara.
