Dining Downunder is an Australian cooking show hosted by celebrity chefs – Vic Cherikoff (Executive Producer and show host), Benjamin Christie and Mark McCluskey. The series is an up-market, up-beat look at the modern authentic Australian cuisine now featured in restaurants run by the more creative Australian chefs (not just the PR chefs you read about).
Our show chefs travel to the far west of Australia into the Margaret River wine region to visit the eclectic VAT 107 eatery. Then up north on the east coast of Queensland and into ginger growing country. Bistro C gives us an inside look at 3 dishes focused on this locally grown root (rhyzome actually). Other episodes include a BBQ right off the back of a boat on Sydney Harbour, some urban and suburban Sydney restaurants and out to the western villages in the Blue Mountains which are part of the Great Dividing Range.
