Call Me Chef,Dammit! is the inspiring story of Andre Rush, who became an overnight sensation in 2018 after a photograph of his now-famous twenty-four-inch biceps went viral. However, his journey to that moment could never be captured in a fleeting moment.

From his childhood working on a farm, to his developing into a gifted athlete and artist, to his joining the Army, Rush has dedicated his life to serving others. During his twenty-four-year military career, his reputation as an award-winning cook eventually led him to the Pentagon. His presence in the building when the plane struck on 9/11/2001 led to his suffering from PTSD, and he has become an outspoken advocate for the military and, especially, for wounded warriors.

Every step of the way, Chef Rush has overcome tremendous obstacles, including battling stereotypes and racism. And in this memoir, he shares not only his wounds and what he experienced along the road to recovery but also the optimism, hope, and hard-earned wisdom that have encouraged countless others.

Chef Rush's journey is a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and the human spirit. His story will inspire and uplift readers of all ages and backgrounds, reminding us that no matter where we come from, we can achieve our dreams and make a positive impact on the world around us.
