About Damn Delicious®
Damn Delicious® was simply a hobby, but now it’s my full-time job.
Coming from a very traditional Korean household, I was destined to be one of three things: a lawyer, a dentist or a doctor. So as a grad school hobby, I created a Tumblr account in April 2011 to document some of my favorite recipes. I had one reader, making less than $0.30 per month.
But 14 years later, Damn Delicious® has grown into something that I never thought possible. I have connected with readers all over the world, conquered so many culinary feats in my kitchen, and collaborated with brands that I always dreamed to work with.
Damn Delicious has even grown into an amazing team of individuals working together to create the best possible recipes. We create recipes, step-by-step tutorials, and videos that focus on quick and easy meals for the everyday home cook to show you that it really doesn’t take much to make a homemade meal completely from scratch.

Hello from this Queens (Bayside) Girl and South Park fan to another! I love your recipes, especially the slow cooker meals!! Most of the ingredients are so convenient because they’re already in my pantry. I’m making your Slow Cooker Pork Ragu for dinner tonight! Congratulations on your lovely nuptials! You clearly embrace living life to its fullest! Every happiness to you, your hubby, and ADORABLE Butters and Cartman!
❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing this! I loved the pictures, your happiness and especially your pooches!!!
Love all your delicious step by step recipes. Makes my meals so exciting, especially when I share and post my meals on FB. Your comments are a delight. Keep sending these wonderful and scrumptious recipes. It was so nice to share your life and love story to your fans. Thanks.
I’m an Instant Pot junkie, but also love all foods Korean. Then I read your backstory, and, well… there we go. Chicago is my favorite place to visit, likely because my daughter and her family live there, so I think you and Ben picked the best place to settle. (Btw, was he wiping tears in that photo? Sweet!) I’m looking forward to creating your recipes—comments from others have me convinced! May you have a long and happy marriage.
Hi,
Left a question on your REVIEW Site about how to slice the skirt steak when making the Mexican Tacos. Rather than retype everything take a look at my question. It is listed as a Review under the name Terry The R.
You guys are a great couple. I can’t wait to try your recipes. It’s weird, I clicked on in google Shrimp Recipes and DAMNDELICIOUS came up.
PS LOVE the pictures of you both and of course, Butters & Cartman.
Good luck.
Teresa
I’m an old Vietnam combat Marine that thought I had buried feelings long ago. I looked up a recipe for Chicken Pot Pie soup and saw yours to be the highest rating.
I went here and saw the story. Ben’s a lucky man and hopefully is as genuine as you appear to be. God Bless and Semper fi
Dear Chungah,
Greetings! I have only two go-to cooking sites: New York Times Cooking and yours. An American family, we spent 10 years in Asia (5 each in Seoul and Tokyo); I greatly appreciate the international sensibility you bring to cuisine. Because I’m busy, I usually delete other non-personal or business emails–but not Damn Delicious! Congratulations on your recent marriage.
I got your book at Costco and made the Korean beef bowl with my kids- they helped me make it and they loved it too! It was the first recipe from your book that we made and now I’m excited to try the noodle soup in a mason jar!
Hello! I have enjoyed your website for a few years… stumbling upon the baked honey sriracha wings recipe before a Super Bowl. They were so “damn delicious” that I’ve come to rely on your site as a go to when I want to make something special. I’m struggling to move to a digital version to store my recipes, and wonder if you can recommend one. I have lots of cookbooks and hand written recipes that I don’t intend to replace, but want something I can store those “gotta try this” recipes as they come up.
I appreciate what you do and want to thank you for so many great recipes!
Take care,
Laurie
The app Cookmate is amazing! You just share the recipe webpage to the app and it pulls all the information automatically and stores it in a way that’s really easy to read. I honestly couldn’t live without it anymore! 🙂
Did you mean RecipeMate? I can’t find an app named Cookmate!
Your recipe for pumpkin stuffed pasta shells id’s AMAZING!!!!! I’made it 3 times, shared three times, shared the recipe and Meade it for the neighbor. Im hooked!!! Am looking forward to trying more off your dishes! THANK YOU!!!
This African is looking forward to making your dumplings for Lunar New Year for the family tomorrow! Butters!!! Love it!!
UCongratulations! 6-20-2020 awesome wedding date! My niece turned me into your recipes while visiting her in Valdosta, GA. Love their simplicity though everyone thinks I bought the entree at a local restaurant and chucked the packaging. Keep up the awesome work and much success in both your new marriage and professional desire’
Congratulations on your wedding! I’m glad you were able to find a way despite the craziness. (I love the yellow shoes!) The corgis are adorable and you and Ben look happy and in love! Enjoy the beginning of this new chapter in life.
We LOVE your Korean Beef recipes and all the different ways to enjoy them. I’ve started exploring other recipes and I haven’t been disappointed. I love Asian food and your recipes make it simple, delicious, and doable! I’ll be trying your Asian Salmon soon! The picture alone has me hungry for it.
So happy to read your story. Congratulations and best wishes! I love your recipes!
I have been concerned about feeding my dogs commercial dog food so thought I would try making it myself. I made the simple crockpot receipe and they loved it. Hamburger is pricey so I thought I would substitute chicken so put a whole chicken in the pot and needless to say they REALLY loved it. I am concerned this is throwing off the balanced diet. My vet discouraged me from making my own dog food at all because it can cause their hearts to get floppy? Anyway, is the chicken replacement okay and are your pet recipes nutritionally balanced and safe to use?
Rebecca, I cooked for my dogs and froze ziplock sandwich bags full of chicken, oatmeal and carrots, celery and any other vegetables I had on hand. They were extremely healthy, shiny coats and bright eyes. I mixed it with dog food from Costco and it made good healthy meals they never tired of and were eager to eat. I cooked the chicken with the other ingredients in my InstPot.
Found your site while looking for a simple but good recipes to feed my teenager and a friend who is living with us this week because the rest of his family has Covid. I eat plant based so I needed some receipts to feed two hungry boys. Found your recipe Easy Korean Bowls, they loved it! It was simple with good ingredients. I see so many recipes I want to make on your site. Tonight I’m making them the Garlic and Butter Salmon sheet pan recipe. Love your story, lived in California (San Francisco), and Chicago also, now in Atlanta.
Love your recipes. The four of you are adorable. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and good health.
Congrats on your wedding – now to only covert you guys to become Cub fans! Love your recipes!!
Hi Chungah,
I’m trying your scallop recipe and glad I found your site.
BTW, you are adorable.
