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.

i love your one pot beef stroganoff. it is hands down the best beef stroganoff ive EVER had. i will be trying some of your other delectable recipes. congratulations on your upcoming weeding.
I found your recipe for Korean beef last evening on your blog. I didn’t have all of the ingredients, but I was able to substitute some from my pantry. It was so delicious! I was looking to make something tasty to go with the package of rice noodles that were pushed to the back of a shelf in my pantry. I have more time these days to slowly explore those shelves. My whole family enjoyed the dish! I’m going to order your two cookbooks, and I have become a devoted fan of your blog. Thank you!
I found you site over a year ago, and I love it! My family likes everything I’ve made – and I am not a good cook. But your recipes and videos make it so easy! Our favorite is the Cilantro-Lime chicken thighs. We are making easy Pork Carnitas tonight, and lemon rosemary sheet pan chicken later this week. Thank you for all of the great recipes and congrats on your upcoming wedding.
Our family just started cooking with an insta pot and I was happy to find your site. My husband loves Zuppa Toscana from Olive Garden and can’t wait to make it tonight. You definitely have a new fan and follower.
Loved reading your story. You and Ben make a great couple. And your corgis Butter & Cartman are sooo cute. Best wishes to all of you.
So happy I found your site, can’t wait to explore all the receipes. I am making the fresh turkey breasts in the slow cooker today, cant wait to try this evening for dinner!! With everything going on with the corona virus and being at home, trying receipes and cooking is what I am going more of.
Thank you!!
You guys look great. I can’t help but wish you well.
I am 76 and know what a good l life means.
I have read tour story. It is incredible how internet changes our life forever. You are great and very talented. Keep posting as I wil be visiting your blog everyday
New to your site. Found it today searching for creative ways to prepare broccoli. Found three great looking recipes and can’t decide which to make. Possible one each day. Positive outcome of our current situation is that we are eating alot more vegetables and I’m going back to creative cooking. I also live in the Chicago area. Thank you for your wonderful site. Stay safe.

Great recipe; subbed in Potatoes, Carrots and Onions in place of the Broccolini. Thanks for sharing!
I love your insta posts!!! I love your recipes and those adorable corgis. Any chance you wound tell me the name of the breeder where you found butters and Cartman? My daughters and I follow you and talk about those two rascals all the time. Hope you and Ben are happy and healthy during this trying time. Keep posting. As you can see, many of us rely on you for comfort, advice and a giggle.
Best,
Debby
Your recipes are very easy to follow. My go to site now for all things damn delicious – Swedish Meatballs, Beef Stroganoff and Shrimp Alfredo Fettucine.
Ok, those Corgis are tooooo cute!!! I want to get one but my hubby is allergic to furry dogs. I think Corgis shed too much. But I love your story, drew me in!! I’m trying the corn beef recipe tonight.
Justa lookin. Gonna try broc n shrimp then go from there
I made the Korean Chicken bowls. Was delicious. I didn’t have all the ingredients, but the sauce was delicious. Will make it again and again. Thanks for the inspiration .
What a lovely website. Endless amounts of recipes! I love the variety. I started pining so many of them and then bookmarked your website. Who needs a cookbook when I can have your website.
Beautiful photography, lovely and easy cooking recipes, I can hardly wait starting trying them.
Carry on cooking and posting.
Hope the wedding plants are coming along fine.
Thanks for your talent and creativity.

I’ve been looking at and cooking your recipes for years but never read your story until today! What a great story and congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I’ve made cookbooks for some young family members and friends who were getting married and always include a recipe for Family Pie at the very beginning. I’m sure you’re familiar with it but here goes anyway lol.
One handful of forgiveness
One heaping cupful of love
ONe lb. of unselfishness
mix together smoothly with complete faith in God
Add: Two cups of wisdom
One cup of good nature for flavor
Sprinkle generously with thoughtfulness
This makes a wonderful family pie.
One complete pie will feed any size family for years to come.
Dear Chungah,
Loved reading your bio – and love your short (or are they height challlenged) furry children. Congratulations on your proposed date to get married.
But moving to Chicago – you must really love him? chuckle, chuckle!
Your recipe for Teriyaki Chicken Shish Kabobs has no reviews on your blog, but I am marinating my chicken now to prepare the Shish Kabaobs – and plan to grill them tonight – so I may be back to write my review of your recipe.
Love to cook so will be interested in more of your creations.
Thanks
Dave
do you have any recipes for dogs with early kidney stage disease?
I made your chicken chowder and it was super great!!!! Wow!!!! Easy to do and the only add I made was I added canned corn. Just gave it a little extra. Next time I think I will add bacon crumbles on the top of the chowder . But no chanes are really necessary – great chowder and easy to do.
