Talk radio barely edged edgy rock in our Taking Your Pulse’ readers poll of the county’s top FM radio stations.

WZZR 94.3 FM, aka Real Radio, nipped the Buzz, WPBZ 103.1 FM, by a scant few percentage points.

Real Radio is the home of such popular local celebs as the Love Doctors and Josh Cohen, along with national shows like Bob & Tom and Lex & Terry. The Buzz has its share of personalities as well, including morning hosts Jeremy Loper and Randi Razar.

Among the other top finishers were the classic rock station The Gater, WKGR 98.7 FM, and top-40 Wild 95.5, WLDI.

The poll for this and all of our other local-interest questions will remain open, so if you still want to vote you can – we’ll check in on this in the months ahead and see if your view has changed.

An article published online yesterday by The Star calls Gaston Acurio “the most famous chef you’ve never heard of.” Acurio is by far the most renowned chef in Peru, and his goal is to give Peruvian food the international publicity it deserves. We know Peruvian cuisine can compete on the international scale, but as Bon Appetit Senior Editor Andrew Knowlton recently said, “For me, for the past 10 years, Peruvian food has always been the next ‘it’ cuisine, but it’s kind of never made it.” That may change as Acurio opens more restaurants around the world, including a rumored location in New York City. He already operates a restaurant in San Francisco that have received fantastic reviews, as well as bistros and fine dining locations in several other countries. And of course, he and his wife also own a chain of both high end and casual restaurants in Peru. Acurio uses European cooking techniques he learned in France to enhance the presentation of the Andean cuisine he grew up eating. His cuisine is referred to as Nuevo Andino, or New Andean, and it has consistently received very positive reviews. Peruvians are proud of Acurio for helping to put their cuisine on the map. He says, “Our mission is to carry Peruvian culture to the world.”

Many Americans try a Peruvian restaurant for the first time and think, “This can’t be authentic South American food – there are french fries on the menu!” Even top Peruvian restaurants have comments like this posted on their Yelp profiles. But in fact, french fries are absolutely Peruvian. There are over 2,000 varieties of potatoes that grow in Peru, particularly in the mountainous areas. The people who live in the Andean region have a diet that is centered around potatoes of all forms. Although the thin cut french fry may be considered a more Americanized side, dishes such as Lomo Saltado are always served with some form of fries, whether you’re in Peru itself or anywhere else that’s serving Peruvian food.  The mixture of white rice and fries provides the perfect base for the stir-fried steak, tomatoes and onions, and makes Lomo Saltado a hearty, satisfying dish. Other Peruvian potato dishes include Papa Rellena, or stuffed potatoes, and Papa a la Huancaina, or Peruvian style potato salad.

Indian designers Falguni and Shane Peacock have busted out of Bollywood straight through to Hollywood. Their champion? Britney Spears.

In the video for her newest single “Hold It Against Me,” the pop queen raises up her fists like Muhammad Ali and cat-fights with her doppelganger while sheathed in ornate outfits by the married design duo. Britney One is clad in a short black minidress encrusted with intricate fuchsia and red beadwork, feathered shoulders and a slinky red train. Britney Two wears a similar version in navy blue.

The video has been a high career point for the Peacocks, who have dressed everyone from Katy Perry, Fergie and Brandy to Nicki Minaj in their sassy, detailed, futuristic frocks in just the past year. The couple, who married in 2001, debuted their designs outside India about eight seasons ago at Los Angeles Fashion Week, and have shown in London for six years. At first, they mainly dressed Indian actresses. Then American stars caught on.

“It’s so strange, to have one pop star after the other. Initially we designed for Fergie, for the World Cup, then lots of requests started coming in, especially in the last six months,” said an exhausted Falguni over the phone from Mumbai, back in their home base after the pair showed their sleek, leather-heavy, biker-chic fall collection during London Fashion Week.

One catwalk look featured fingerless black gloves with spikes jutting from the back, and another had swirling gold beading contrasted against a sheer, black three-quarter length sleeve top. Western silhouettes meshed with Indian-tinged embellishments.

A few weeks earlier, the pair lay low in a small suite at a luxury West Hollywood hotel on the Sunset Strip. Stylists for singer Perry chatted around them, flipping through racks of colorfully sequined floor-length gowns and sculptural, encrusted catsuits, searching for costumes for a new video.

Falguni, small and quiet in person, and Shane, tall and dark-haired, once again looked zonked. A flight from L.A. to Mumbai lasts about 18 hours. Planning a line of perfumes, bags and accessories, the two see themselves as a growing global brand.

“On the plane we sleep. Because of that, it’s hard to meet people. It’s easier to talk on the phone,” said Shane. “We are planning set up an office in New York and stay in New York for three months, then back in India, then back in New York.”

Falguni envisions stores around the world.

“Having everyone wear our clothes, and not just the pop stars,” she added. “It could be a more commercialized version. We know our strengths, what we can achieve.”

Khanh T.L. Tran, a longtime writer at fashion-industry newspaper Women’s Wear Daily, noted the Peacocks’ appeal to rock ‘n’ roll elite, and suggested the couple definitely need to broaden their range to appeal to everyday women.

“The pieces, because of the vivid colors, lavish embellishments, do lend well to a theatrical production or a video or red carpet,” said Tran. “But they should be careful because they don’t want to be too Bollywood. They could translate the aesthetics to sportswear pieces. A T-shirt silhouette might be easier to wear.”

Indian designers have just started to reach international acclaim, with the Peacocks in prominent company. Manish Arora, for example, is gaining attention for avant-garde, over-the-top neon creations worn by the likes of Minaj at the American Music Awards. Arora also was named the new artistic director of label Paco Rabanne.

The Peacocks remain committed to Indian traditions of handcrafting, and their garments are manufactured there. Certain dresses can take a few days to create, with five or six people doing the beadwork. That extra touch, as well as lowered production costs, could give them an advantage, said Tran.

Still, noted Shane, it took years to get to the point for the fashion community to view India as a creative hub beyond its production capabilities.

“It’s very difficult to be from India or a small country. No. 1, they don’t take you seriously, and No. 2, you have to work very hard,” said Shane. “Half the time people in the fashion business don’t take you seriously because you’re from a small town. They ask, ‘Do elephants roam on the road?’”

The couple’s future will likely include dressing more A-list celebrities who love bright colors and blingy styles, but a more luxe collection in the works. They design their own prints, and architecture is a strong influence at the moment.

Interestingly, the women at the top of their wish lists to dress are not the sequined catsuit types: Faguni would love to see Queen Elizabeth II in their clothes, and Shane has his eye on a couple of prominent American women.

“I look up to Michelle Obama. She’s quite a powerful person,” said Shane. “We love to dress REAL women. In India, it’s more about customizing. Women come in different sizes, different shapes. We would have to adapt to what they wear, their style, with Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey. We can’t go overboard.”

The diversity of both plants and animals in Peru is among the most impressive in the entire world, and its potato population is no different. In fact, over 4,000 kinds of potatoes of all shapes, colors and sizes are native to Peru, making them a staple in Peruvians’ diets.  However, Peruvian potato farmers say some of their crops are now at risk due to climate changes in the Cusco area. So the recently established Potato Park, which aims to unite local farmers and educate tourists about Peruvian potatoes and culture, is trying to fight the problem before it gets serious. They are sending samples of 1,500 different potatoes to the Svalbard International Seed Vault in the Arctic Circle, where they will be stored as back-ups in the event that certain kinds of potatoes are wiped out in Peru. Potatoes are considered to be the world’s most important non-cereal crop, and keeping these samples stored in a place where they will remain frozen ensures that they will be available if needed in the future. We’re glad to know that this impressive array of potatoes will be protected for future generations, since these crops are often at the heart of traditional Peruvian food.
