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.

You’re now a go-to save in my bookmarks. Your chicken enchilada recipe hit our favorites list last night. I substituted in lightly fried corn tortillas and a mix of bottled jalapenos and a pablano pepper as I had run out of canned chili peppers and wanted to get the show on the road. I dipped the prepared tortillas in green chili enchilada sauce before adding the meat mix and smothered the full casserole with the remaining sauce before adding the cheese. And BANG…not even any leftovers to put away.
Your recipes are THE BEST. We recently tried the Teriyaki salmon with broccoli and rice bowl! The homemade teriyaki sauce was to die for and was so easy to make! I can’t wait to try more recipes!!
From a fellow June 20, 2020 COVID bride, just wanted to say that I love all of your recipes! Your site has become one of my go-to’s when looking for new dinner ideas. Keep posting more delicious food recipes and pictures!
thank you for all the info. Your babies are adorable, as you, and your husband.
However, I have a question (probably a thousand) but for now, what are French Style Bread Crumbs?
Anything garlic, pasta, mushrooms , creamy are our thing.
Thanking you in advance,
You shine, and the dogs are just ridiculous. (Definitely a reason to follow.) The website is inviting, charming and personal. The recipes approachable and delish. Keep up the great work.
Will not describe myself as a cook, in the slightest… yet, when I try any of your recipes… it always comes out better than expected. I have tried several other blogs and dare I say more popular ones… yet when I stumble upon your recipes from time to time, I get complimented for those dishes… so I have bookmarked your page and so far, haven’t been let down. I love the simple, easy, “idiot-proof” recipes you post… and love that a lot of them are “asian”, am chinese by descent but grew up in the Philippines… now residing in Canada. Keep doing what you are doing… and Thanks!
Your Best Ever Beef Stew is the bomb! I had to find out who was responsible for the recipe after I made it. Just stunning. Congratulations to all four of you! Wow You are a treasure, Chungah Rhee. Keep doing this! And thanks
I was immediately drawn to your gorgeous food pictures and your mix of culture in your food. THEN I found out you live in my city now that made things even more awesome. I’m still browsing your site and loving it so much. This could be the start of some major things for this new bride! You ROCK young lady!!!! TY
Love your recipes, and humor. Congratulations to you on your nuptials!
What a sweet, sweet family of four❣️❤️
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!
