LDS chef won't compete for $50K on Sunday

After making it all the way to the finals of the World Food Championships held Nov. 1-4 in Las Vegas, Carmell Childs of Ferron, Emery County, gave up a chance at the $50,000 grand champion title. The final contest was on a Sunday.

"And because I teach my children that the Sabbath is a sacred day, I opted out of the Sunday competition for the $50,000," said Childs, who is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is the same World Food Championships where Salt Lake City's Lucky 13 Bar and Grill won the World Burger Championship.
