阅读理解 Daily News—San Francisco chef Cecilia Chiang, who first changed the stereotypes about Chinese cuisine in the United States, died Wednesday. She was 100. Chiang was the owner, chef and mastermind behind the game-changing San Francisco restaurant, the Mandarin. She is widely credited with bringing real Chinese food to America and was a celebrity chef before celebrity chefs were popularized. Chiang, who was born near Shanghai, came from an upper-class Chinese family. Although she wasn't shy about admitting her good fortune, she faced other, perhaps more hard-won obstacles. To convince the dining public that Chinese food didn't have to be Thursday's cheap take-out option, Chiang had her work cut out for her, when she moved to the Bay Area in 1959. She insisted on showing diners the refined side of Chinese food and wanted to upgrade the Chinese dining experience. To do this, she also needed to be aware of aesthetics. The Mandarin did not serve chop suey or chow mien, two standard dishes on every Chinese restaurant in the US at the time. But this is exactly what Chiang wanted to avoid. In fact, her early encounter with Chinese food in America had left her determined to show San Francisco what Chinese food was really like. "She deliberately and constantly supported outsiders trying to make their mark in food," her granddaughter, Siena Chiang said. "I hope she is a signal and an inspiration to people with marginalized identities to always believe in your own worth and knowledge, and not to give into other cultures." （1） What is the best title of the passage?
