Kameari ended at 200 and Golgo 13 is still going strong because it's drawn by large staff. (Apparently the author only draws the faces in Golgo 13 so the characters always seem "off.")
The 3rd longest running manga is apparently "Cooking Papa" at 144, which is virtually unknown outside of Japan perhaps because it depict Japanese-style home cooking that doesn't translate well for other countries. It's about a salary man who likes to cook and in every episode they include his cooking a dish to bring family and friends together.

Here is an interview manga by Tanaka Kei-ichi where he interviews offspring of famous manga artists. I wish everyone can read Japanese because this is
a very good series with a lot of insights. In every episode, he takes the interviwee to eat a dish they fondly remember from growing up or some variations of that. In this episode he interviews the son of Cooking Papa's author.

In essence, every time they eat out, the author insists that they all order different dishes for research purposes and they are not allowed to eat until he finished taking photographs of the dishes.
If you want to see the rest of the interviews, here are the links

What I especially love is that Tanaka emulates each individual artist's
style when drawing the interview.
BTW, Tanaka started off his career doing very low-blow Tezuka parodies that is most likely illegal to be published in U.S.

A quick check of Wikipedia gives me two different series before Cooking Papa, Dokaben and Minami no Teio.

haven't heard of either of one though.
