Summary
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 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。

I like memoirs， and this was certainly very different than ones I’ve read before。 Chef Andre Rush has accomplished a ton and seems to be a really honorable guy。 He speaks directly and isn’t afraid to call out people who have done him wrong。 That said， he doesn’t show growth in this book。 Every time he changes， it’s some sort of split second thing where he just decides to change and there’s nothing about the thoughts or feelings。 In fact， there’s a real lack of feelings or reflections in the book I like memoirs， and this was certainly very different than ones I’ve read before。 Chef Andre Rush has accomplished a ton and seems to be a really honorable guy。 He speaks directly and isn’t afraid to call out people who have done him wrong。 That said， he doesn’t show growth in this book。 Every time he changes， it’s some sort of split second thing where he just decides to change and there’s nothing about the thoughts or feelings。 In fact， there’s a real lack of feelings or reflections in the book overall。 Chef Rush endured possibly unneeded surgeries， attempted suicide， spent time inpatient， and so much more—but all I get is that he was very angry。 Almost none of the book was about cooking and I had to google him to find out why he does 2，222 push-ups every day （if it was in the book， i must have missed it， but all I could find was him repeating over and over how many push-ups he did—not why）。 Books can be good and find an audience that isn’t me。 As a nerdy white lawyer who enjoys jogging and reading， maybe I am just not his audience。 But I can’t figure out who would be。I am grateful to the author， the publisher， and NetGalley for free access to a review e-book in exchange for an un-biased review。 。。。more
