The Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music bass studio has a tradition that they call Burger Madness. Bass blog contributor Nicholas Hart is a member of Albert Laszlo‘s CCM bass studio, and he sent me a link to this video documenting the tradition:

OMG that’s hilarious!!! I went to CCM 1999-2002 and have been to many a burger madness – they don’t make this part clear but part of the madness factor is (or was) the fact you could have as many totally crazy toppings as you wanted – the burgers are good too. Dan Pendley and Travis Gore used to do “doubles” as often as possible. Louis Levitt was the master of ensuring everyone would go after bass class. Kristen Bruya and I were obsessed with the banana peppers on our burgers.
My own tale is that I broke 8 years of vegetarianism with burger madness. I didn’t tell anyone until I ordered and they were all shocked – it was like I was an alcoholic falling off the wagon! But they thought it a fine burger to be reintroduced to meat after 8 years!!
Glad they are still following the tradition 5 years later.
Best Wishes

I’m sad to see that Michael J. Fox no longer sports the pink shirts. My ultimate madness burger: double bacon, pepper jack, jalepenos, sauteed peppers, blue cheese, side of honey mustard, ca. 2000-04.
Ah yes… those were the days… my personal best memories were:
watching Kirsty break her vegetarian diet and Ben De Kock tryed to kick start his appendix by insisting his double madness with everything be cold and bloody. 😆
Of course Mike Fox also needs a side of pink salsa.
And Geoffe Stone’s famous bitter burger insured his domination.
Travis and Kristin like to mix mustard and Mayo together to dip there fries in (eww)
And Travis should never eat the black bean burger and sit next to me in orchestra again!!
I personally enjoyed Sunday Madness ( with a fried egg on top)
