He completed his education at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) in Psychology in 2003. However, he found his true calling in the culinary world.
He started his journey in the industry more than a decade ago, but his decision was not greeted with delight by some. In one of his Instagram posts, he wrote:
Alex’s fundamentals of cooking were built at The Art Institute of Tennessee in Nashville, where he graduated with Honors with a Culinary Arts degree, as per his website, alexbelew.com.

After spending years “learning, self-teaching, and working in some of the top kitchens in Nashville, including Husk by Sean Brock,” Alex is all set to appear on season 21 of Hell’s Kitchen.
