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.
