Bummer man. I wouldn't eat it either, 8 hours is a looooong time in the danger zone (not to count it takes an hour or two to cool down after you get it in the fridge.

If it was cooked when it was done, I'd have no problem with it.

My family has been leaving leftovers on the stove top, or counter for years, and we've been eating it the next day with no problems.

But then again, that's just me.
