Just a tip

 * Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards.  User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided.  Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).

 * A further explanation: personal websites are excluded from our reliable source guidelines (link here), unless it is by a recognized authority (as recognized by our notability guidelines). If DallasFood.org has editorial oversight, is run by a news organization, or that article is by a recognized authority, it is acceptable.  Otherwise, we can't include it.
