He finances, produces and hosts television shows with the chefs, Benjamin Christie and Mark McCluskey . Together with Christie, Cherikoff travels and presents Australian cuisine around the world, often with the Australian Trade Commission (Austrade) and in international hotels.
In the 1980s Cherikoff worked in the Human Nutrition Unit of the University of Sydney , where he the medicinal value of nutrition Aboriginal Professor Jennie Brand-Miller examined.

In the mid-1980s, he founded the Bush Tucker Supply Pty Ltd , which later became a division of Vic Cherikoff Food Services Pty Ltd was. He develops and sells products, such as ingredients for chefs, food and beverage manufacturers, and the cosmetics industry, and advertises them in books and on television.
