Read by the author.

What does it take to go from growing up in a Mississippi housing project to becoming a master sergeant and a celebrity chef serving in the White House under four United States presidents?

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 24-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 24-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.

A story to listen to again and again.

Listening to Chef Rush share his raw truth with passion and transparency provides the listener with wisdom and mentorship. I look forward to listening to the book again to further unpack the lessons and the wisdom he shares. Chef Rush is a true inspiration to keep going, do God's work, and help others.

Never judge a book by its cover.

Seeing Chef Rush on TikTok. I thought he was just a bodybuilding Army veteran that became a chef. Oh how I was wrong. I learned a lot from hearing Chef Rush’s story and journey. Thank you, Chef for sharing.

A walk through the life of Chef Andre Rush

An excellent book about the life of Andre Rush, Chef Andre Rush. Very deep and touching. A job and life well done, Andre. Thank you!

Been there I have the T-shirt

Loved the story. Thanks for telling others about the struggles we veterans face everyday. I have wounds that are visible. I have pain from injuries. But it’s what people can’t see that hurts the most. Thanks for telling our story.

Fresh. "Can Do" how to. Interesting tales.

Refreshing read. Entertaining and interesting. Real time narration, not rehearesed. Pleasure listening. Loved hearing about his ability to care about others as a professional and his duty motivation to serve. This man is truly not burdened with self importance.

Hurry up and download. That’s an order!

What an incredible and well told story of someone born with natural grit, supported and cared for by his mother, pushed to demand perfection by his father (and also, Virgo 🙋🏼‍♀️). He seemed to stumble into a career that he loves, while also finding ways to pick up a million other talents along the way. A gentle giant that will not hesitate to go beast mode when speaking for those that do not have a voice. What an inspirational story - makes you want to attack the day.

Chefs work ethic

I like everything about the book especially how he got to be call a chef

Well Deserved Title

Thank you Chef Andre Rush for sharing your life's experiences just the way you actually lived it with your mama's heart to bless you along the way...No mixed words; Raw, simply, honestly. No sugar-coating. Straight No Chaser! Made it all the more real to recognize my own military and civilian PTSD, anger issues, mental wellbeing, and more. My faith in an unchanging God is my source of peace, wisdom, and joy. I'm that behind the scene, wind beneath your wings, won't let you fail if I can prevent and or support you, and how can I help you, kinda girl. God's Best to You and Yours. Love You Chef Rush...Heck, you are a rush...of love.

Push through to reach 'your' destiny!

Loved how Andre shared his heart and soul for others to be inspired to thrive and to push forward no matter the circumstance!
