In the left photo, a close-up, he wears a dark baseball cap bearing a red, white, and blue patch with a circular emblem and stars, along with dark sunglasses, and appears to be in a crowd. In the center photo, a close-up selfie-style shot, he faces the camera without sunglasses, smiling, wearing a plain dark baseball cap, with what appears to be a kitchen or workspace behind him.

Dustin Ray Hamby, aka “Chef Goyardee”, is an Austin-based Neo-Nazi and cook who now serves as the Austin area Network Directing Officer for the fascist group Patriot Front.

His most notable activities include leading the Texas fascist delegation to the Nazi “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville and coordinating security for a Richard Spencer talk in Florida.  Dustin was previously doxxed by Autonomous Student Media here and here, but no connections were made to his identity as Chef Goyardee or the extent of his involvement in fascist activity. Flyers have been posted around his apartment and surrounding neighborhood in Austin this week with information about Dustin’s Nazi activity.

A photograph of a printed flyer taped to a surface, photographed under warm indoor lighting. The flyer is headed "NAZI CREEP DUSTIN RAY HAMBY" in large bold capital letters. Below the heading are two side-by-side black-and-white photos of a man: on the left, a close-up of him wearing a dark baseball cap with a circular emblem and dark sunglasses; on the right, a smiling portrait of him in a plain dark baseball cap. Beneath the photos is a black bar containing the phone number "512-965-7783" in white text. The body text reads that Dustin Ray Hamby is a local Nazi activist who helped organize the deadly "Unite The Right" rally in Charlottesville, that he is a cook by trade, and that he goes by the alias "Chef Goyardee." A second paragraph urges readers who see him around 7211 Easy Wind Dr to tell him how they feel about violent Nazis living in their city and serving their food.

Prior to his current role with Patriot Front, Hamby was a member of more casual fascist clubs like the “Edelweiss Order”, aka the “Whomsters”, and the “Kek Group”. His activism took a more serious turn when he helped plan the June 17th, 2017 “Texas Is Ours” event for Vanguard America. He also participated in the Austin “March Against Sharia” event June 10th of the same year alongside Paul Gray, and attended the disruption of the Houston Anarchist Bookfair.  

A screenshot of a chat log dated 2017-07-15, showing a series of messages exchanged between users named "TheDriver," "Chef Goyardee," and "Avskum," each timestamped between 23:58:09 and 23:59:05. TheDriver writes "@Chef Goyardee it's nice to have you in vanguard bro!" Chef Goyardee replies, "Well, I'm not actually in the group. I'm an emissary from the Edelweiss Order." Avskum responds, "Keep up the good work, fam!" Chef Goyardee then writes, "I work really closely with y'all though." Avskum writes, "Hail Victory!" and Chef Goyardee replies, "Hail Victory!" Each message is displayed in a light grey chat bubble with the username in purple and a small chain-link icon beside the timestamp.

A photograph taken outdoors on a sunny day at what appears to be a rally on the grounds of a state capitol, with a large classical building and trees in the background. A group of people dressed predominantly in black stand on green grass near a paved path. One central figure, a young man in a white baseball cap and black t-shirt, holds a pole carrying an American flag and appears to be speaking or gesturing toward others in the group. Several individuals wear black hoodies and face coverings, including one person in the foreground with long reddish dreadlocks and another in a black hooded garment. A person in a studded leather jacket stands with their back to the camera. Other attendees, some holding cameras or phones, are visible around the group. Below the photo is a screenshot of a social media post by "Dustin Hamby" (@ryanhamby) dated Nov 19, captioned "At the rally at #atx #statecapitol Gotta represent Trump and show we're not zombie Nazis." followed by tags including @EdelweissOrder and @Bulbasaur_TRS.

Hamby then became the key Texas organizer for the deadly “Unite the Right” march in Charlottesville. He coordinated van rentals, carpools, and hotel reservations for Texas Nazis. His username “Chef Goyardee” also appeared in a Charlottesville related lawsuit. Additionally, Dustin designed and sold the Red White and Blue Sonnenrad flag (pictured below) which has been flown by erratic Nazi, domestic abuser, and kidnapper William Fears, among others.

A screenshot of a Discord chat log showing two messages from the user "Chef Goyardee." The first message, timestamped 2017-06-28 04:29:11 UTC, reads: "@everyone Hey I'm coordinating carpools, air b&b's, etc., for Texas. Hit me up." The second message, timestamped 2017-07-10 23:22:48 UTC, is longer and addresses coordination for the August 12 Unite the Right event in Charlottesville. It states that absolute confirmation is needed for carpooling and Airbnb arrangements, mentions that the drive from San Antonio and Houston is over 20 hours, and outlines a schedule to leave early Thursday, Aug. 10, and return Monday, Aug. 14. The message notes that the invitation for a ride is not solely for Texans, as the route passes through Arkansas, Tennessee, and other states, and offers a breakdown of carpooling costs and Airbnb information upon contact. Each message includes a Discord icon, the username in bold purple text, the timestamp, and small icons for search and a link.

The flag features red and white vertical stripes along the top and bottom edges. In the center is a large white circle containing a black sunwheel (also known as a Sonnenrad) symbol with a black five-pointed star in its middle. Below the image, a follow-up message from the same user at 01:15:48 reads: "^^^^I'm selling these fuckers. Hit me up. They came in too late for Cville."

In October 2017 he accompanied Richard Spencer to the University of Florida in Gainesville, serving as a security coordinator. After the speech, Texas Nazis Tyler Tenbrink and the Fears brothers were arrested for firing a pistol at protesters.

He wears a dark navy baseball cap with a light-colored trim along the brim and a rectangular patch on the front featuring a red, white, and blue design with horizontal stripes and a circular emblem. He also wears black sunglasses. An earpiece with a coiled acoustic tube is visible in his left ear, with the tube running down toward his neck. Blurred figures of a crowd fill the background, and the shoulder of someone in a blue shirt is visible on the right edge of the frame.

As his alias implies, Chef works in the food industry. He consistently alienates his coworkers with his racism and immoral behavior: at Black Star Co-Op he had his “MAGA” hat tossed into the fryer, and at The Hightower (now closed) he was reported to have groped male coworkers without their consent – despite being in a long-term relationship with fellow fascist Connor Graham. He has previously written fantasies about insulting and scalding his immigrant coworkers, though there are currently no indications he’s actually followed through yet.

He wears a camouflage-patterned baseball cap with orange embroidered text reading "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" across the front, and a light-colored short-sleeved polo shirt patterned with repeating images of brown horses. Behind him is a dark grey wall with a large window framed in bright yellow trim, through which trees and a cloudy sky are reflected. A yellow object, possibly a lemon wedge or coaster, is partially visible near the rim of the glass.

Below, you can see some of the types of things Dustin posts about under his alias:

A screenshot of two consecutive Discord messages from the user "Chef Goyardee" in the channel "[Vibrant Diversity #general]" on February 25, 2017. The first message, timestamped 04:01:22 UTC, reads: "I've been giving this some thought. I've been skimming health department records of violations in different cities. Regularly the violating restaurants are minority run restaurants." The second message, timestamped 04:02:47 UTC, continues: "I think white people, when they cook, care more, therefore they have a propensity toward fresher food. Fresher food is better food. Better tasting, etc." Each message displays the user's green Discord avatar, their username in purple, the timestamp, and the channel name in purple brackets.

The headline reads "Racist Easter eggs found in West Austin lawns Sunday morning," credited to Sarah Navoy and dated Monday, April 17th 2017. Below the headline is a video thumbnail showing a pink plastic Easter egg resting in green grass, bearing a white circular sticker with a black bird emblem, the text "Celebrating White Culture 2017," and "18 & Up Only" along the bottom edge. A play button overlays the center of the image. A caption beneath reads: "Some families in a west Austin neighborhood woke up to find Easter eggs filled with discriminatory information in their front yards on Sunday morning. (Photo: CBS Austin)"
Dustin Hamby was responsible for leaving these Easter eggs on people’s lawns in Austin.
A screenshot of three consecutive Discord messages from the user "Chef Goyardee" in the channel "[Vibrant Diversity #general]" on April 18, 2017.

A screenshot of a tweet from the user "chef" (@thatoneguychef), posted at 1:02 AM on March 15, 2019, via Twitter for Android. The tweet contains a black-and-white diagram shaped like a wheel with eight spokes radiating from a central black sunwheel symbol. Around the outer rim, the text reads "TOWARDS A NEW SOCIETY" at the top and "WE MARCH EVER FORWARDS" at the bottom. Each of the eight segments contains a label and a small illustration: starting clockwise from the top left, they are "ANTI-IMPERIALISM" with a soldier's head; "ENVIRONMENTALISM" with a landscape; "RESPONSIBLE ELITE GOVERNANCE" with a classical building; "NON-ETHNIC COMMUNITY" with diverse people; "LAW & ORDER" with Lady Justice; "ETHNIC AUTONOMY" with a handshake; "ANTI-DICTATORIAL ETHNIC NATIONALISM" with a group of people; and "WOMEN'S RIGHTS" with a figure holding a flag. The overall design mimics ideological diagrams used by extremist groups but incorporates a mix of progressive and conservative-sounding concepts.

It speaks to Patriot Front’s fear and decay that they have chosen a drunken abuser as their leader for Central Texas. His days of fascist organizing will be brought to a sudden end soon.
