Alex Belew, 40, a former restaurant owner from Murfreesboro, Tenn., got the winning nod from Gordon Ramsay. Alex turned to his Southern roots to help construct his winning menu.

He told Parade, “That’s just who I am, I can’t really get away from it. I don’t try to be overly Southern in my cooking. I’m not making chicken and dumplings and fried okra, but that natural cooking style is just going to flow through me. I can’t really get away from it, it’s just going to come out. I don’t sit down and go, ‘How can I make this as redneck as possible?’ But it’s just part of who I am, so it’s going to be a part of my cooking style.”
