Nestled in the heart of the Magic City, Chef Tywanda Dupont, affectionately known as Chef Ty, is turning everyday meals into unforgettable culinary experiences. Her bistro and food truck combo is more than just a place to eat—it’s a celebration of culture, community, and comfort food done right.
Chef Ty is no stranger to the spotlight.

Her food doesn’t just fill your belly—it feeds your soul.
Think tender Caribbean jerk chicken that dances on your tongue, rich Southern-style mac and cheese with a golden crust, or traditional comfort dishes that make you close your eyes with the first bite. Every dish is infused with a bit of nostalgia, a dash of flair, and a whole lot of love. That’s the Chef Ty signature—authentic, bold, and undeniably Miami.
But it’s not just about what’s on the plate. Chef Ty’s dedication to her community runs just as deep as her love for good food. Whether she’s hosting food giveaways, mentoring up-and-coming culinary talent, or inspiring students as a keynote speaker at Miami Dade College’s Food Truck Institute or the Miami Culinary Institute, she brings the same energy, compassion, and flavor to everything she does.
At Ty’s Hometown Café & Bistro, it’s all about connection. Food lovers can experience her mouthwatering creations at 600 NW 1st Ave in downtown Miami, or catch her rolling through the city in her food truck, serving up joy one savory bite at a time.
