Fire at Bootsy’s

From Cincinnati.com: Bootsy’s fire was arson

Lighter fluid had been used to set fire to blueprints, along with the corporate chef’s pile of work, which included about 10 months worth of recipes and research.

I saw this interview of Jeff Ruby on Channel 5 WLWT and one, I can’t believe that it lead off the news and two, that it’s the weirder arson story I’ve heard in a while.  It was a strange interview with Jeff Ruby kind of rambling on about the fire and recipes.

So, someone entered the place through an unlocked door, set a small fire on the first floor and then went upstairs to set some blueprints and recipes and research on fire.  If it’s arson, what’s the motivation?  It doesn’t seem like a random act of vandals or criminals.  Sounds more like a disgruntled employee or associate.

Is their really 10 months worth of recipe work for a Jeff Ruby restaurant?
