Featured in a series of videos for Visit Clarksville’s YouTube and Instagram channels, Belew is a Murfreesboro resident whose wife attended Austin Peay State University. His long history with food evolved into teaching, opening a restaurant, and winning numerous competitions, including Season 21 of Hell’s Kitchen which began airing in September 2022.

“Clarksville may not be known as a place for foodies, but I’m here to prove that wrong,” Belew says in an opening video.

The promotional campaign includes a food itinerary, showcasing specific menu items for breakfast, lunch and dinner at three Clarksville restaurants: Wild Flour Bake Shop, Legends Smokehouse Grill and Dock 17.
