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.

  1. I found your Damn Delicious beef stew recipe on Facebook.  I am a 68 year old, single man and it was very easy to make and was an instant favorite!!  I shared you recipe with friends and they all love it too.  I am going to try more of your recipes now and get out of my rut of cooking the same things week after week.  BUT!!  I am going to make you beef stew again this weekend for New Years 2018…   You are beautiful and your recipes are delightful and easy.  Thank you for saving my palatee…

  2. Hi Chungah, I stumbled across this website a few months back, and am sure glad I did. My husband and I are empty nesters and I had become so tired of cooking especially just for the two of us. We were eating out more and more which has not been good for our waistline or wallets, but since finding your site I feel a surge of renewed interest and enthusiasm for cooking. Your recipes are so easy to follow and are so-well- damn delicious! For the first time I have been able to make an Asian dish that tastes as good as take-out. I even spent part of my quiet Christmas morning making Teriyaki sauce, just for fun! Thank you, Chungah, and God Bless You and yours.

  3. so glad I found your site! Your recipes are amazing and I’m ordering your cookbook 🙂

  4. I’m so glad I found your website. I just stumbled upon it. Last night I made the Slow Cooker Chicken and Corn Chowder and oh my goodness, it was delicious! I love soups and I love cooking with my crockpot. I see so many crockpot soups on your website that I can’t wait to try. Thanks so much!

  5. i don’t even remember how i found your site — i’ve been on it for years, though, and it IS damn delicious! i have one question — did you name Butters after the South Park character?

  6. We LOVE Butters and Sam! We watch all of your stories on Instagram because my daughter loves to catch a glimpse of them. Oh! And we love your recipes too! Great stuff!

  7. Hey there, ,
    Your recipes look amazing. I’m wodering what cheese I could use instead of goat cheese in the cobb salad. I have to stay away from soft cheeses as I am lactose intolerant. Also not keen on Apple cider vinegar for the poppy seed dressing. What could I use instead?

    • Unfortunately, without further recipe testing, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications. Sorry, Linda!

  8. Hello Chungah. While I thoroughly enjoy your delicious recipes, I hope you do not mind for me to say the following. What I find most “Damn Delicious” here – is you! Thank you.

  9. you have described it well. Your recipes look amazing. I just subscribed to you can’t wait to try some

  10. I’ve never been much of a cook and I can never think of what to make for supper, coming across this site was a miracle for me! All of the recipes look so good & easy to make, I already have a list of the ones I want to try out!
    Thanks for all your hard work on this site, I really look forward to doing a lot more cooking & becoming more comfortable in the kitchen. 🙂

  11. Hi Chungah,

    Asian cooking takes a lot of time over the wok. I don’t like to sweat over the fire in the hot kitchen. I live near the Equator. Your baked recipes with fast frying are ideal. I shall try a few of them with my new small toaster oven, capable of making small meals. Thanks for your recipes and the great ideas.

  12. Love your recipe site. Please add me to your mailing list.

  13. Hey, Chungah! Just had to say that you are a huge inspiration! Love your blog!

  14. Chungah! We’ve just discovered you and your recipes and you’ve changed our family cooking life into something that is so much fun and SO easy! We’ve recently moved from LA back to London, England and having these recipes reminds us so much of our fabulous time in LA. The breakfast burrito especially!
    My husband is Chinese and I’d never consider even trying to cook Asian food as he’s so good at it, but your recipes have given me the confidence to give several of them a go-and all have been a big hit! So a big Thank You from the Li’s in London! Keep up the good work-I now visit your website practically every day!

  15. What brand crockpot do you use?

  16. Your recipes are among the best I’ve tried! 

  17. I love all your recipes! I haven’t made one dish that hasn’t turned out delicious and they are all so easy. Thank you for making my family dinners easy!

  18. I follow you every single day!! I went to culinary school, have worked in commercial kitchens and have 2 kids who are self-proclaimed foodies! Keep doing what you’re doing! I absolutely love your recipes & photos!

  19. i love you
