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 Mrs. Chungah Rhee,
I’ve stumbled onto your Damn Delicious site & was very taken by how you take very popular recipes, simplify them, & have them come out delicious. I’ve been cooking for apprx. 18 yrs. , 12 of them professionally as a trained/formally schooled chef. I’ve been very blessed to have met & worked w/some very talented people who saw something in me & took the time to “groom” me & refined my skills. Thank you for all you do to make this beautiful & awesome craft, interesting/fun/ & your simplicity is “2 thumbs up”. I’ve taken your techniques & used them to guide me when teaching cooking techniques, recipes, & food selection. After all, cooking should be fun! Not a chore. Kudos on your success.
I was looking for a good Korean soup and came across yours which sounds delicious. As soon as I round up the ingredients I will make it. Congrats on your marriage and I love your furry friends too. Best of Luck.

I’m absolutely loving your recipes!! Wouldn’t have thunk (;-) butternut squash would make Mac and cheese, but there ya go. Made butternut squash chicken pot pie not too long ago, so I WILL be doing the Mac and cheese. I’m the chef in the house after I retired (and before – when I was home, haha). Love expanding my repertoire, but my older girl doesn’t seem to appreciate the diversity as much as I do.
Love you South Park duo, we’ve got our own 4 hooligans – 2 rescue mutts (chi/terrier/angry Irishman mixes), a black lab rescue, and a black chihuahua (both beaver/evil turd mixes). I left Korea in 97 (2 years with the Army). Loved the food almost as much as the Lao food I grew up with. Congrats on your nuptials! Keep up the great work because you have an awesome site.
I woke up in a horrible mood this morning with a long To Do List, and a little resentment towards my husband of 34 years for not being as helpful as I needed. Before making the 4 hour round trip to grocery shop, I googled Korean BBQ Beef and found you. Your pic caught my eye and I admired how you looked adorably cute as well as gorgeous in the same pic! That sucked me in to thinking I’d just quickly scan your ABOUT post, but then you had to throw in Butters, Butters wearing the knit hat, Butters in Dodger gear, Butters at your wedding. Now I’m a little choked up from your beautiful story and I’m in a super good mood!
Thank you for sharing. I’ve visited Damn Delicious many times in the past for YUMMO, easy to make dishes, usually landing here via googling, You’re bookmarked now, baby!
Butters and Cartman–their names are as cute as they are!
Congrats on your marriage.
I’m so happy for you four, congratulations. I’ve missed your “old time” posts. When you had the opportunity to share your & Butters adventures & pictures. Blessings to you & again congratulations.

Went mushroom foraging for the first time – under supervision of an expert. Searched for an Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto recipe and there you were! It was so easy and absolutely marvelous. I can think of all sorts of variations (sub a little white wine in that chicken broth maybe) but I made it exactly by the recipe and it was amazing. Thank you. Congrats on your beautiful and fun wedding.
