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.

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’

  4. 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.

  5. So happy to read your story. Congratulations and best wishes! I love your recipes!

  6. 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.

  7. 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.  

  8. Love your recipes. The four of you are adorable. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and good health.

  18. Chungah,

    Our family was very fortunate to discover Damn Delicious during COVID. I have twin boys that are 13 years old and enjoy everything I make from your recipes! During this stay at home time, my son, Gregory, has become more serious about cooking. He loves trying new cuisines, spices and techniques. We live in Los Angeles and have a pug and a beagle. We love taking them to the beach, snow, and anywhere we go! They are definitely the best part of COVID! Thank you for your amazing website and Instagram page. You have made a big difference in our lives and we appreciate you very much. Stay well!

  19. Congratulations on your wedding. Ben is a lucky guy and Butters and Cartman are lucky dogs. Love your life story and your recipes.

  20. Hello Chungah. I’ve just discovered you by chance while looking for a recipe to use up Christmas ham and made your ‘Leftover Hambone Soup’. Had to convert American cup sizes to UK millilitres but the result was definitely delicious, and I had a very happy husband who wants more! Looking forward to making more of your recipes in 2021 and can I wish you both and your cheeky corgis a happy life. Very best wishes. Liz from Bristol, England
