Fun, insightful, and a sucker for a big guitar riff or a catchy hook, Hal has been obsessed with music since he was a toddler. He has been rocking stages all across Canada for years, and brings that same energy to the CHOM airwaves.

After a woman found a worm in her Filet-O-Fish - apparently a common parasite found in fish and safe to eat as long as it's cooked - Bilal polled Montrealers on their unusual or stomach-churning food finds. This one got out-of-hand pretty quickly! Can you top these stories?

What's the Grossest Thing You Found in Your Food?!

What do you consider Montreal's #1 culinary claim-to-fame? After the New York Times highlighted rotisserie chicken's rise in popularity in the city, we asked Montrealers what we do better than anyone else.. bagels? Smoked meat? Steamies? Bilal was even served some curve balls!

A study at University of North Carolina tested over 100 students aged 11-18.. and 0% of them were able to go through a school day without checking their phone. Not ONE!! The average student reached for their phone 64 times. Bilal asked Montrealers what else their kids can't seem to do - can you relate?
