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.
Have tried several of your recipes, without varying away from what you have written. Very pleased with the outcome of them all.
Please keep ’em coming. At 80 years old and way above ground, I still enjoy exploring with different foods.
Hi, I am going to try your Cajun Chicken (Chili’s Copycat). My husband and I go to Chili’s often and
I loved it there. I hope this one is just as good. Looks easy enough.
I went to Seoul, SK October 2017 to see my grandson born. I was very impressed with Seoul. I didn’t like having to take the tram everywhere we wanted to go and having to walk all the way to get there but I survived it. Even walked up to the Mall on top of the hill where you can go by cable ride. I apologize, I can’t remember what it is called. I went to The Marbling with my daughter for some Korean BBQ Steak, Kimchee, with other items that escape me too. I even found a bottle of Korean BBQ Sauce at World Market in the US when I returned.
I will follow you on Pinterest.. Thank you!!
The best to all four of you! One of my favourite food blogs! Cheers from Canada.
Just joined and looking forward to making many delicious recipes. I have diabetes, well controlled, and find that I can still cook many recipes, although I must add or subtract that which would make my blood glucose unstable.
I’ve had two corgis that I loved and miss terribly. I’m too old now to have another one, but I do have two lovely felines to keep me company.
Your recipes look delightful and creative. Keep up the good work!
Hi Tomi, I am also diabetic, type 2 have trouble controlling my sugar. Do have any advise? Would be appreciated. Thanks, don’t know if you can reply to me , my name is Betty Nelson live in Kentucky, am on facebook..Hope you can reply. Thanks
That is so awesome, I love your site and your recipes. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, wish you both all the joy in the world. Dogs are so cute!!! Thanks for sharing the Instant Pot Roast recipe, I’m trying it tonight.
Good Bless.
Tired, working mom spots Instant Pot Chicken soup in google search, walking into Safeway in in a pitch black rainy parking lot. That looks tasty. That looks like I can actually cook it. Visits website to get recipe when she gets home. Immediately loves the story, the name, Damn Delicious, and the fact family pets are named after South Park characters. Win Win.. Off to make the soup. I am a kitchen disaster who burns fish sticks. Glad I stumbled on this website!

Absolutely love your website! Welcome to Chicago – hope you like it here!
Hi there!
I just have to say, I love the photographs of Butters and Cartman LOL. My family and I are big South Park fans, not to mention enormous dog lovers, LOL.
Your website I’ve just discovered while browsing the web,, and after seeing your recipe for Swedish meatballs, I’ve already gone to the store and came back, ready to make for this evenings dinner. Thank you for such an elegant suggestion to the never ending question of a mother: What to make for dinner? LOL.
This is my first time to the site and I am thrilled, this is the first site that I can say I would cook 99% of the recipes! The recipes are easy and full of great ingredients I would be happy to serve to my family and friends.
Thanks so much for making my day!
Happy New Year!!
Alison
Have all of your cookbooks and follow you on Instagram. Love your stories. Can’t wait to see pictures of the wedding.
You have my dream career! I’m also in Chicago and love your site!
Would like to follow your recipes. I made your Hot and Sour soup. Very nice. Good wishes to you and Ben in your future.
Chungah Rhee,
I accidentally ran across your site today, Merry Christmas!, and the picture of the Bang Bang Chicken grabbed me. The thought of some nice chicken pieces with Panko crumbs and chili sauce, well, just spelling it out makes my mouth water again and I haven’t even tasted it yet!
You and your handsome Corgi’s are show stoppers-Congratulations!
And a big congratulations on your planned wedding in June. I wish you and yours all the best.
Wow! I think I was one of your early readers– I didn’t realize you were a Korean American (like me!) and didn’t know you are now doing this full-time. Congrats to you! I made my own rendition of toffee, but have been inspired by your recipe too. Keep up the good work!
Awww…Love the “About” page & the info about your adorable corgis & the pictures!! Way to go about making this into a business!!!
I love these recipes! Do you ever post nutritional info?
Are you planning to release another cookbook? If so, when will it be released? I have both of your cookbooks and I love them.
Thanks for the good read on your bio. I’m trying your Mac n Cheese, tweaking it to match what I have on hand. I’ll let you know how it comes out.
How am I just now seeing your website!!??? I’m looking up recipes for all my thanksgiving fixings and… well… all roads seem to lead to you. Cant wait to tell everyone on thursday where all the deliciousness came from 🙂 Thanks so much!
So….I follow the Australian/Korean singer Dami Im and after running out of superlatives to describe her outstanding beauty, I typed Damn Delicious and here I am….:)
Those scones….YUM!
