Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
After graduating from school Graham couldn't find a job, so he turned to cooking. He had an interest in cooking and was hired by a local resturant to make some money to pay rent. When the chef figured out he wasn't classically trained, he was furious, but had just fired his previous 3 chefs and took a chance on him. Graham did everything he could to learn to become a better chef and eventually made a career of cooking. He later gave tips to aspiring chefs to help the, become a better chef.

Credibility of Source:
Author or Site: Who is the author? What training have they had? If there is no author, examine the site. What is the purpose of the site? Who funds the site?
This sight is an ameteur blog site at best. His article was written by someone who couldn't find a job and turned to cooking to make some cash. He eventually made a career of it.


Attachment: Does the author or site have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative? For example, is it a cigarette business posting an article about the benefit of cigarettes, or is it a scientific community unaffiliated with the cigarette business?
This is strictly informational to help people who want to become a chef without going to culinary school. There is no attachment to the website.

Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the autHor's writing?
I think there might be some bias in this article because the author actually went through the experience.

References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?
The author doesn't cite any sources.

Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project?
I would use this as positive reinforcement to back up what I am trying to say.
