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.
I love making your many recipes! When searching for specific recipes, I always use yours! Everything I’ve ever made using your recipes has turned out fabulous!
I stumbled upon your recipes a few years ago. I am not much of a cook. I found your site easy to follow but most importantly delicious! Loved reading your background. As a fellow Korean and living in chicago- wish you the best! PS your corgis are adorable
I”m so proud of you for having a dream and making it happen! I’m about to make your white bean and spinach soup. Can’t wait for it to be done. That and those damn delicious biscuits pictures would be fabulous together. Rock on and never stop.
Y’all are just plain cute and so anointed by Jesus Christ!
I stumbled onto Damn Delicious at least 5 years ago….
I tested out some of your sheet pan recipes on my family and passed along recipes. Since then our daughters finished college and live independently following their careers.
Our daughter from San Diego called to tell me that she made your wonderful PF Chang’s Lettuce Cups for dinner last night and had leftovers for lunch. Thanks for sharing your skills and recipes and for inspiring other young women.
You are a gem, Chungah!
Darn good food
Beautiful! From 76 yr old male. Carbondale,Illinois.
I have been trained, in French and Italian cooking as an amateur. In France at my favourite restaurant ever in the Lot area which I used so often that the greeter Noel and Jaque the chef became good friends. When he was devastated when a top chef visited the restaurant with friends and used salt on a black truffle dish he created I commiserated and he finally calmed down. He knew of my interest in cooking and on our next holiday he invited me into his kitchen to learn some of his techniques. For five years I spent most of my holidays working in his kitchen and for the last two years I would cook some of the starters and sometimes a main corse or two. An amazing experience for me.
I have read your story and am trying one of your recipes this week when long time friends are here for lunch. Am looking forward to the experience. Just one thing, this is Europe/England .and we don’t us cups as measures so will have to look up how many ml a half cup is. Thank you and I hope you continue to enjoy your life with your husband
Awesome Site Thank You , I can tell recipe’s are tested as published on your site not much tweeking if any is need to make dishes correct !!!
Those pups are damn cute!
Congratulations on your nuptials! My go to for an easy family favorite is your PF Chang chicken lettuce wraps! You miraculously turned my picky 2nd daughter (who wouldn’t eat anything green) onto lettuce!!! Now, as a teen, she eats a wide variety of veggies: brussel sprouts, mushrooms, she even orders salads! Thank you!!!! Your instant pot recipes also came in clutch when we were stuck at home during a recent winter storm down here in TX! We ate like royalty! By the way, 2nd gen Korean American and love your Asian recipes too!
Great recipe. I look forward to more of your recipes.
Thank you Chungah, for sharing your gifts with the world. Your recipes are amazing!
With much appreciation,

Hi Chungah,
I am now addicted to your Korean beef bulgogi recipe. I’m trying it with chicken thighs tonight. I’ve used 3 different cuts of beef with it so far, flank, rib eye, & flap, and like the flap the best. My son likes the flank the best. We’re splitting hairs here, because all three are incredible. Looking forward to more recipes, and am very happy you like dogs. We have two. They like the bulgogi, too.
Hello Chungah and Ben,
Firstly it was lovely to see and hear about your happiness and success together.
I think dogs are indeed an important part of family life as they love us every day unconditionally living in the moment.
I discovered your website by speaking to a Korean man and talking about Bulgogi and Kimchi.
As a chef and nutritionist I thought wow the perfect combination.
I hope to hear and read about more of your recipes and I am sure I will learn even more about cooking.
Thank you
Kind regards
David
Chungah , You have done some great recipes on your site, do one for chicken scaloppini, use to get it at Papa Vino’s in Grand Rapids, MI, just a little way from you across the lake, it was incredible the they closed it and the gal who was the chef is now no were to be found. Think they still have some restaurants , maybe in Ft Wayne or South Bend IND.
Regards, Douglas
This is an amazing website with delicious recipes. Thank you and your team. Much love and happiness to you and your husband. Adorable pictures and those Corgis are so very sweet, keep up the great website.

Such a sweet and loving story…You adapted well to the curve ball “COVID” sent you and your wedding was probably even more precious because of the challenges you had to face together. Wishing you both as long and happy marriage as I have had (59 years when my hubby passed on 2/2/22). Sending you lots of well wishes and hugs for when you need them. BLESSINGS!
Damn Delicious can do no wrong! Thank you to Chungah and her team…this is my go-to website whenever I am in the mood to try out something different to make for my family and friends. I have especially enjoyed her InstaPot recipes…easy to follow and absolutely delicious…damn delicious! Today I will be trying for the first time some of the dessert recipes. Thank you again and again!!
I am a newcomer to your site. I saw it through Pocket, and have saved a few recipes. I can’t wait to try them out!
