Following Steakfest VIII: The Lost Year, the Steakfest founding fathers decided to hold a Steakfest in our new common ground...the commonwealth of Virginia.

The location chosen for this grand event was Chima in Tyson's Corner, an all you can eat Brazilian barbecue.

Several of the group chose to wear chainmail, as was the style at the time, and everyone chose to eat until they could eat no more.

The MVP performance of this event was Rob McCrone who embodied two of the most important Steakfest characteristics: Eating more than humanly possible and making a spectacle of yourself.
