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.
You know what’s important, not a fancy expensive ceremony but just close friends and of course, the pups! Best of luck!
Hi Chungah,
I just discovered your site whilst of all things looking for a healthy dog recipe. I already make meals for my dog but was looking for something different.
We just had devasting news from our vet. Our miniature schnauzer was unwell and had to have some blood tests. We have just been told that Oscar has diabetes. So I was looking for something super healthy and something that won’t upset his diabetes.
Your Damm Delicious page looks wonderful and I plan to try these yummy human meals.
Hi Chungah!
Discovered your site last night when we made the one pan lemon herb salmon! HOLY CRAP! it was SOOOOO gooood! Thanks for sharing this and I love your background story. I’m from Queens too and also had a stint in CA!
Congrats on the wedding and way to adapt! Looking forward to following more of your work. 🙂
Best
I made one of your recipes last night for dinner and tried another one tonight because it was so good!!! You’re recipes I think will help we make really good food at home. I found your website through Pinterest! Thank you Chungah! I can’t wait to try another one of your recipes!
Congratulations! Best wishes!
We love the sesame chicken recipe!
Glad to have you in my life Chungah! I am a seasoned cook who loves to try new recipes. I am trying to become a better Asian food technician. I spent many years of my life living in Chicago and San Francisco where I became spoiled rotten on great ethnic food. It is my ambition in life to become more skilled in cooking foods outside of my comfort zone of French, Italian and Southern cuisine. I rely on your website for well tested, delicious meals for those days where I just can’t seem to come up with something on my own. I swear when I die, my tombstone will read “Here lies Liz Casey….. What the Hell’s for Dinner?” I cook three meals a day, 7 days a week these days, with maybe an occassional meal delivered. I can’t wait to go out again for a dinner out…. but until I can do that, I will keep coming back to your site. Some of your recipes have become mainstays in my home, which is saying something considering I married a man who doesn’t want to eat the same meal twice in 6 months…… Keep doing what you are doing, ’cause you are doing it very well. Best Regards from the great state of Idaho! Say hi to my wonderful Chi-town!!! My alma mater is Columbia College right down in the South Loop. Miss everything there is about that place, even the winters;-). Oh, and congrats on your recent nuptials! All the best to you!!
Wow! I just found you today and I love your story. I’m a home cook and getting better every day. My oldest daughter is in college and LOVES to cook and I get my inspiration from her. Your recipes look delish and I’m starting with broccoli and parm and garlic. Thank you! I know it will be yummy!
What a cute couple! And the people look sweet also. 🙂 Glad I found this website, looks good. Best, Mike
Congratulations on your marriage! I am sorry COVID derailed your original plans but it looks as though you had a special celebration.
Going to make one of your delicious looking chicken with lemon butter sauce recipes tonight! I also browsed through some of your yummy recipes! So glad I did… Can’t decide which recipe is next on my “to make” list! I see you grew up in Queens – next door to me in Nassau!
Also love those pups! We have a rescue Abigail Louise pup and a cat Penny Lane.
Signing up to receive more recipes from you. Thank you! Stay safe and well.
I saw photos of you and your husband on the yanni designs instagram earlier while I was scoping them out before our appointment and I knew you looked familiar when I was searching for a scallop recipe and landed on your page. What an odd coincidence- never saw you before today and now it’s been twice. Looking forward to trying some of your recipes!
I love your website, all of the recipes I have tried have been excellent! Congratulations, June 20 is my anniversary date – 39 years ago. It is a lucky day!
I love your website, your recipes and your adorable corgis! I am so glad that I stumbled onto this site. Please don’t ever stop doing what you are doing! Hugs you you and your fur babies!
Hi Chungah. I am a self taught cook and dog lover also. I was searching for a recipe for beef stroganoff to use up some sour cream and stumbled upon your site. I then scoured your recipe box until 3 am. I made the dish the next day and I must say it was Damn delicious! I look forward to making more meals and can’t wait until we can share them with friends post Covid of course.
Hello from Vancouver Canada! Stumbled upon your site looking for a quick delicious nutritious family recipe. Just had to comment that my daughter and I fell in love with your dogs and their names. I had to call my daughter over to see right away. Thoroughly melted our hearts to scroll to the end to see the cake topper! Congratulations and thanks for the delightful posts. Now onto cooking! Your recipes look amazing as we love fresh vegetables. Have a great day and hello to Butters and Cartman!
We’re so glad we found you! I am a mum who, with my sweet husband, adopted two beautiful children from South Korea. Our special family celebrates all-things Korean – including upbeat people like you (okay, BTS too!) and we love sharing your journey! Keep those recipes coming!
Love your site! Great simple recipes, with straight to the point instructions. Thank you for taking the what to make…” question out of my evenings! ❤️
Look forward to your recipes.
Beautiful story – your website, recipes look great and I love your story. I can’t wait to try your scallops tonight. Thank you for your positivity and ray of sunshine in this unusual summer.
Ahhhhh OMG the corgis are too fricken cute and your photography is amazing
