Dining Down Under
I recently had the pleasure of meeting a fascinating fellow, Vic Cherikoff, a culinary ambassador from Down Under, who’s doing alot to bring the native flavors of Australia to the world. This guy is fascinating, and really knows his stuff! His knowledge of native aboriginal foodstuffs and traditions is vast. Along with his partner, Chef Benjamin Christie, Vic is leading the charge to eradicate the notion that Aussie food consists only of vegemite, bloomin’ onions and shrimp on the bah-by!
I played a short teaser of my interview with Vic on Podcast #30. Have a listen for his great Aussie accent and for just a glimpse of his immense culinary and scietific knowledge. I’ll be featuring my interview with Vic in the next podcast.
