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.
Damn Delicious® is a registered trademark of Chungah Rhee.
What an inspiring story. Have dogs of my own I love to pieces, My English Springer Spaniel, Murphy, only wore a ribbon to our wedding (35 years ago), but was quite dapper. And your recipes are great–some of the stuff I get from others is so complicated, or requires 1 teaspoon on some exotic ingredient I have to buy an 8 ounce jar at $5.99 and never use again.
Love your emails, keep’em coming
The cake is the best!
Congratulations on your wedding! Love the names of your Corgis. Must be South Park fans.
So glad you didn’t let the pandemic prevent your happiness. Hopefully you will be able to celebrate with a larger group when this is all behind us.
All the best for your future life. From the heart. Have a happy, joyous and blessed life.
We were out of ideas on what to feed our dog, at wits end actually. Came across your site looking for that.
Will try your recipes.
Thank you for your damn delicious broccoli mac and cheese recipe… my family of four, with diverse diets, all loved it! I am a Covid cook… forced into doing it more for my husband and two teen daughters because we’re home every single day together and Postmates/Door Dash costs get out of control! As a full-time corporate lawyer I just don’t have time to cook daily for finicky eaters so I finally got over my fear of pressure-cooking, dusted off my Instant Pot after letting it sit around for @ a year and started searching “Instant Pot” recipes. Enter damndelicious.net. You have an attractive website and I will enjoy exploring your recipes. I hope to learn more and inspire my family to cook more too. If teamwork makes the dream work then I’m thrilled to welcome you to my team! Thanks so much for sharing your creativity and passion. Wishing you and your family much love and happiness!
Thanks so much! I found you this morning via a search for spaghetti carbonara and made your easy, delicious and lighter version of this today. Hubby and I enjoyed it very much. I’m looking forward to diving into your site more.
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.
