ANDRE Rush, the head chef at the White House, has gone from cooking up a storm to being the centre of a social media one.
The retired Army Master Sergeant Chef is an expert in the field of classical plating, baking, cake decoration and ice carving.
But Twitter users were quick to question whether or not he was actually US President Donald Trump’s personal bodyguard thanks to his incredibly beefy build.
Wall Street Journal reporter Vivian Salama tweeted a picture of Rush, alongside two other chefs, who were prepping for a dinner at the White House on Wednesday night, in which Trump was hosting in honour of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
The journalist later tweeted: “Got lots of comments inquiring about Chef Rush. Andre Rush a retired Army Master Sergeant Chef who currently prepares nutritionally balanced meals at the White House and is a master chef trained in classical plating, baking, cake decoration, and a master ice carver.”
Rush served 21 years in the Army, and is said to have cooked for several American Presidents over the years.
He holds multiple degrees in culinary arts and business administration, and also works as an adviser to the superintendent of the US military academy at West Point.
